2 in.; petiole -15 in., tomentose; stipules broad, bifid, glabrous, "2 in. 

 long. Peduncles five or six times longer than the petioles, axillary, 

 stout, compressed, tomentose, bracteate near the apex, sometimes one of 

 them barren and forming a much-recurved hook; heads in flower about 

 1 in. in diam., in fruit rather less. Calijx almost sessile, '15 in. long> 

 pilose ; the tube oblong-ovoid ; lobes of its mouth linear, blunt, twice as 

 long as the tube. Corolla about three times as long as the calyx, 

 glabrous: the tube narrowly cylindric, angled, the lobes of the limb 

 broadly oblong, very obtuse. Capsules sub-sessile, narrowly double-
