Planta suffruticosa humilis, habitu Acrotreme. Folia subsessilia, 
membranacea, punctata, pennivenia, supra viridia, subtus pallida et 
grosse reticulata, 4-6 poll. longa, 13-3 poll.lata. Pedunculi angulati, 
‘dense ferrugineo-villosi. Umbelle 4—6-forz. Pedicelli 4—6 lin. longi, 
basi bracteati, bracteis ovato-oblongis, obtusis 11—2 lin. lonfis. Calyx 
5-partitus, lobis erectis, sestivatione subvalvatis, non convolutis, extus 
pilosus, 14 lin. longus. Corolla rosea, punctata, 5-partita, lobis ovato- 
oblongis, acutis, mtcr) 3 lin. longis, sestivatione sinistrorsum 
convoluta. Stamina 5, tubo corolle inserta; filamentis brevissimis ; 
antheris erectis, oblongis, acutis, basi emarginatis. Stylus filiformis, 
very remarkable dwarf species allied to 4. vestita, Wall., from 
which it differs in its habit, broader obtuse leaves, leafless peduncles 
and smooth fruit. The calycine segments are widely separated from 
each other by the rounded intervening sinuses, and, even in the youngest 
state in which I have been able to examine them, do not seem to over- 
lap each other at the margins.
