ciliolatis. Stamina generis; filamenta 2—-2.5 mm. longa, papil- 
loso-puberula, antheris vix 1 mm. longis, aristis 0.5-0.75 mm. 
longis cum antheris papillosis. Pistillum glabrum, ovario 2 mm.

In this species the flowers appear along with the leaves 
instead of just after the leaves as in the others. The shape of 
the leaves and the short, inconspicuous, adpressed hairs on 
their lower surface serve to distinguish the species vegetatively.
