 •25 in., pubescent. Panicles axillary, longer than the leaves, with a few 

 distant short few-flowered branches, tawny-tomentose. Flowers nearly 

 *25 in. long, on short pedicels, solitary or in cymes of three. Calyx-tube 

 densely puberulous outside, internally with a line of subulate processes at 

 the throat and a broad belt of deflexed silky hair, the ovate lobes 

 shorter than the tube. Petals thin, obovate, clawed, longer than the 

 calyx-lobes, sparsely pubescent. Stamens about 8, half of them anan- 

 therous, the filaments villous. Pistil 1, the ovary villous. Fruit oblong,
