sp^lP^v]lat liispid, Supported by petioles about half an inch long. Panicle 

 composed of opposite, brachiate racemes. Bracteas lanceolate, entire, 

 with a long attenuated base, apparently longer than the calyx. The Flotc- 

 ern I have not seen, I suspect from the composition of the panicle theV 



are not large.
