clothed with a close white cottony wool. Leaves obovate to oblong, obtuse, 

 entire, narrowed into a petiole, thick and soft, 1 to 2 in. long or the lower 

 ones larger on long petioles. Flowers yellow, clustered along the rhacbis of 

 long interrupted leafless and cottony terminal spikes or the uppermost soli- 

 tary ,_ all sessile or nearly so. Bracts very small, obtuse. Calyx in some 

 specimens densely cottony, in others hirsute with purplish hairs ; lobes liiie.ir, 

 shorter than the tube. Corolla 4 to 5 lines long, cottony or hirsute outside. 

 Fruit ovate, flattened, about 2^ lines long, softly tomentose, crowned hy the

Calyx-tube adnate to the ovarj- ; lobes 5, very small, often concealed under 

 the indumentum or quite obsolete. Corolla-tube deeply slit on the upper 

 side, but usually entire and persistent at the base, the remainder circimisciss 

 and deciduous, 2 upper lobes deeply separated, unequally winged, erect and 

 connivent, enclosing the summit of the style in two thick concave auricles, 

 one on the outer side of each lobe below the wing, the 3 lower lobes broadly 

 winged and spreading. Anthers cohering in a tube round the style. •Ofaiy 

 l-celled, with 1 erect or ascending straight or recurved ovule, rarely 2-celle(l 

 with 1 erect ovule in each cell ; indusium somewhat 2-lipped, not ci&te. 

 -bruit smaU and mdehiscent. Seed variously shaped; testa rather tlifll 

 embryo in the centre of the albumen.— Herbs undershrubs or shrubs, the 

 indumentum usually stellate or branched, cottony or woolly. Leaves entire 

 or obtusely toothed or sinuate. Flowers purple blue or white, rarely yello^v, 

 tlie margins of the corolla-lobes undulate below the wino-s and forming pro- 

 mmeut lines decurrent inside the tube. Peduucles simple or irregularly 

 (mostly cymosely) branched, solitary or clustered in the upper axils or the 

 nearly sessile flowers forming terminal spikes.
