 short lateral lobes or teeth, the lobes often toothed around margins, the cauline similar but shorter 

 and much-reduced and bracteate above, pubescence of basal and the lower cauline lightly to 

 densely woolly ; inflorescence a subcymose panicle, the flowers short-pedicellate or subglomerate ; 

 caly.x 2.5-7.3 mm. long, growing with and more or less equal in length to the mature capsule, 

 cleft to base, with sinuses three-fourths filled with a membrane which also borders lobes to their 

 acuminate tips, lobes and membrane sometimes purplish, the lobes always dotted with black or 

 colorless glandular hairs; corolla broadly funnelform, 15-27.5 mm. long, 3.5-5.5 times as long 

 as calyx, blue or violet to pinkish with a yellow band around upper half of throat, tube usually 

 dark violet, 2.5-10.5 mm. long, less than twice the throat, throat 3.5-10.4 mm. broadly ex- 

 panded, lobes 5.4-9.5 mm., broadly ovate, usually with a broad mucronate tip; stamens inserted 

 in sinuses of corolla-lobes, unequal to subequal in length, shorter or longer than lobes, filaments
