 often trifid, at base coriaceous, ciliate, membranous-margined and pubescent ; flowers sessile ; 

 calyx 4-5 mm. long, cleft to base, calyx-lobes entire or some trifid at apex, pubescent dorsally 

 mostly below middle, united by a sinus-membrane about two-thirds of their length to form a 

 pseudotube, membrane ciliate at top; corolla broadly funnelform, white to violet, 7.5-8.5 mm.
