Flowers sub-radiate, outer calyx four-leaved ; stem shrubby. 

 This plant agrees with this genus in its bilabiate capsules, but differs in its whole 

 habit. Br>wne calls it the shrubby Iritis, a little shrub very common in the savannas 

 about Kingston, seldom rising above four or five feet. The common receptacles are 

 disposed at the extremities of the branches, and the outer divisions of the flowers grow 

 gradually smaller, and curl more downwards as they approach the centre, which 

 the whole something the appearance of a radiated flower at the first appearance. .
