18. T. rulingioides, Stend. in PL Preiss. i. 232; Steetz, Ic, ii. 322. 



A very hispid shrub, at first sight closely resembling T, cognata, or the hispid 

 forms of T. purpurea, and with the 5-ceIled ovary of tlie former, but tJie 

 leaves are naiTOwer, almost or quite sessile, the crisped margins raucli revo- 

 lute, and narrowed at the base. Stipules broadly semihastate or sometimes 

 hastate, 3-lobed. Flowers nearly sessile in the raceme and hispid as in T. 

 cognata, but rather smaller. Calyx similar. Petals usually smaller and less 

 hirsute. Filaments rather shorter. Ovary glabrous, granulate.

 ihe whole plant clothed with a hoary tomentum, somewhat scabrous on the 

 ypper side of the leaves, denser and often rusty undenieath, without spread- 

 ing hairs. Leaves uarrow-oblong or rarely lanceolate, obtuse, mostly about . 

 1 in. long, wrinkled with deeply impressed veins, the margins revolute, 

 rounded at the base. Stipules broadly semihastate or semicordate. Kaoemes 

 slender, with about 4 to 8 small flowers. Eracteolcs linear-lanceolate, tomen- 

 tose. Calyx opening to about 5 lines diameter, divided much below the 

 J^nddlc, the margins flat, the principal branching veins of each sepal some- 

 times prominent as well as the midrib, but not starting from the base, as in 

 Guichenolia. Petals generally present, and often a few stamiuodia. Anthers 

 shortly and obtusely acuminate. Ovary densely tomentose, usually 3-celled ; 

 style glabrous:
