 ing the proximal portion of the corolla, distally with acute teeth 1 mm. long; corolla 15 mm. 

 long, its galea narrowly concave-rounded, finely pubescent with reflexed hairs dorsally, with 

 wide glabrous thin margins, its lower lip with finely pubescent slightly inflated pouch and very 

 minute glabrous lobes; stamens 2 (only the lower pair present).
