 at the tip, ^ to ^ in. long, puberulous at the back, deciduous ; 

 flowers pentamerous, about ? in. long, on very short puberulous 

 pedicels or subsessile several together, arranged in branched com- 

 pound sub-umbelliferous terminal pedunculate minutely puberulous

 bracteoles small, subulate from a broad base, puberulous at the
