 nerves beneath ; petiole ^-1 in. Peduncles 0-| in. ; bracts \ in., lanceolate ; pedicels 

 3-8, g-f in. Calyx 3 in., fulvous-hirsute, lobed half-way down. Corolla-tube % in., 

 slightly curved, fulvous-hirsute without; limb nearly equally 5-lobed. Disc unilateral, 

 quadrangular. Ovary fulvous-pubescent. Berry | in., elongate ellipsoid, tipped by

A shrub; branchlets 4-angled ; innovations rufous silky. Leaves 7 by 3^ in., 

 acute, base narrowed, closely serrate ; nerves beneath fulvous-villous. Peduncles
