 The leaves in shape resemble those of V. canescens. Hum- 

 boldt (but the flowers are quite different), and are hispid in 

 our plant. The flowers, indeed, are like those of V. Laniberti 

 Ker, but the foliage is totally at variance. Corolla twice the 

 length of the very long calyx, yellowish.
