petioles, slender, rusty-puberulous, or glabrous, occasionally forming 

 compressed tapering much recurved hooks, the bract small and near the 

 base. Head about 1 in. in diarn. in flower and 15 in. in fruit. Calyx 

 •15 in. long, nearly sessile, densely rusty-pubescent except the lobes ; the 

 tube narrowly ovoid, contracted into a cylindric deeply lobed limb, the 

 lobes short, bi'oadly oblong, blunt, spreading, sub-glabrous. Corolla 

 twice as long as the calyx, very narrowly funnel-shaped, pale pubescent 

 outside, the teeth narrowly oblong, blunt, glabrous inside. Capsules 

 narrowly double-fusiform, occasionally somewhat curved, about '4 or "5 

 in. long, crowned by the thick, erect calyx-tube, narrowed into the short
