This is a very distinct species, the stem and branches 
being decidedly woody and of hard texture; the leaves are 
from 6 to 10 lines long, 1-1} line broad, densely covered 
with short viscid pubescence, which is incanescently tomen- 
tous beneath. The peduncles are 6 lines long, and become 
deflexed on the fall of the corolla: the calyx is 3-4 lines 
long, cleft into 5 unequal linear obtuse teeth; the ‘corolla 
is about 9 lines long, 6 lines broad across the mouth, the 
tube being contracted below, where it is yellowish, above it, 
is funnel-shaped and yentricose, of a deep rose colour, and 
veined, the border being divided into 5 ovate rounded lobes ; 
the stamens are unequal, 4 of the anthers approximate in 
didynamous pairs, while the fifth is intermediate between the 
longer pair, and is much shorter: the ovarium is obovate
