 acuminate, the base rounded or sub-cuneate ; upper surface reticulate, 

 sparsely covered with stiff flexuose hairs with conspicuous black bulbs 

 at their bases, shining, the nerves thin but distinct; lower surface more 

 densely hairy (the hairs with smaller bulbs), especially dense on the 

 16 to 18 pairs of bold curved spreading main-nerves ; length 5 or 6 

 in.; breadth 1'25 to 1'5 in.; petioles '15 to '2 in.; stipules triangular, 

 sub-acute, longer than the petioles, deciduous. Cymes small, not so long 

 as the petioles, few-flowered, ebracteate. Flowers on short hirsute pedi- 

 cels. Calyx '25 in, long, tubular-campanulate, densely hirsute like the 

 corolla, deeply divided into 5 lanceolate acuminate sub-equal lobes.
