Radix lignosa, sinuosa, repens ; caules plures breves; folia late elliptica, obtusa 
et mucronata, vel subacuta, in petiolum attenuata, herbacea ; Racemi extraaxil- 
lares, brevissimi, pauciflori ; alæ corollam subæquantes oblonge obovatæ, a basi 
sensim versus apicem latescentes, deinde subito attenuatæ, apiculatæ, corollam 
æquantes, margine pilis crispulis versus apicem alæ curvatis ciliatæ, nervis tribus, 
pauciramosis non anastomosantibus notatæ. Petala superiora linearia, subacuta, 
quam carina longiora. Limbus carinæ ecristatus, a latere visus, quadrangularis 
subito in unguiculum attenuatus. Antheræ glabræ quam filamenta libera gla- 
bra, fere 3x breviores, Ovarium obcordatum,  orbiculare, pilosum. Stylus 
duplo fere longior subcurvatus. Stigma superius vix prominens, inferius papil- 
losum prominens (subhippocampiforme). Capsula orbicularis, sine marginibus alifor-
