Quum descriptio a Barbosa Rodrigues data nimis brevis

 usque 1 m. älta; caulis erectus, simplex, teres, crassus (dia- 

 metro usque 5 mm.), inferne iistulosus, internodiis 3 — 5 cm. 

 longis (infimis paullulo brevioribus). Folia decussata (infima 

 in speciminibus florentibus jam demortua destructaque), per- 

 foliata (alte connata), late elliptica v. superiora ovato-elliptica, 

 5 — 6 cm., rarius usque 7 cm. longa, 3 — 4 cm., rarius usque 

 4,5 cm. lata (superiora breviora et pro rata latiora), apice 

 subacuta v. obtusiuscula, anguste subhyalino-marginata, pal- 

 matinervia, vulgo septemnervia (nervis tribus crassioribus). 

 Inflorescentise (in parte tertia summa caulis evolutse) cymosse, 

 multiflorse, congestse, folia suffulcientia sequantes v. paullulum 

 tantum superantes; pedicelli circiter 8 mm. lougi. Calycis circiter 

 8 mm. longi tubus anguste campanulatus v. urceolato-campanu- 

 latus, usque 4 mm. longus; limbilobi anguste ovato-triangulares, 

 circiter 4 mm. longi, 2,5 mm. lati, acuti, prsesertim inferne sub- 

 hyalino-marginati, apicem versus paullulum et obtuse carinati, 

 ceterum ecarinati. Corollse tubus subcylindraceus v. campanu- 

 lato-cylindraceus, usque 7 mm. longus, et extus et intus glaber; 

 limbi lobi patentissimi, ovato-elliptici, usque 9 mm. longi, 5,5 

 mm. lati, apice obtusi. Stamina sequalia, medio tubo corollse 

 v. paullulo altius inserta, sat longe exserta; filamenta circiter 

 3 mm. longa, filiformia v. superne paullulum attenuata; an-

 4 — 5 mm. longae, vix 1 mm. latae, basi profunde cordatfe,

Calycis tubo in genere longo et lobis latis, subecarinatis 

 nec non (inflorescentiis congestis et) internodiis superioribus 

 quoque brevibus recedit a Deianira pallescente Chamisso & 

 Schlechtendal, cui quoad folia subsimilis est; vix ulli spe- 

 ciei arctius affinis.
