Larger than the last, with dark g-reen g-labrous rather notably 

 fleshy herbage : leaves at time of petaliferous flowering, about an 

 inch in diameter, somewhat deltoid-cordate, the length equalling 

 or surpassing the breadth, the margin lightly crenate: peduncles 

 surpassing the leaves, obscurely angled or semiterete.bibracteolate 

 in about the middle, the rather obtuse bractlets with a few obscure 

 glandular teeth : sepals oblong, obtuse : corolla nearly an inch in 

 diameter, the breadth commonly greater than the length ; petals 

 deep violet, at base darkly venulose on a white ground, all obo- 

 vate-spatulate, obtuse or notched, the odd one especially broad 

 and often obcordate, the pair next to it bearing each a dense tuft 

 of rather long and slender not in the least clavellate hairs ; style 

 not prolonged beyond the anthers : apetalous summer flowers aer- 

 ial, but their peduncles short and more or less horizontal ; their 

 capsules short and thick, not dotted.
