A large shrub. Leaves 6 by 1 in., primary nerves either oblique to or at right 

 angles with the midrib, sometimes obscurely punctate beneath ; petiole ^ in. Umbels 

 solitary; pedicels 3-12, 1-2 in., nearly glabrous; bracts 1^ in., linear-oblong. Calyx 

 obsolete. Corolla 2 in. long, and as much in diam., rose orange or brick-red,
