times also repand-angular, on a pubescent petiole 1-} in. long, acu- 
minate, membranous, softly pubescent (especially beneath), 2-4 in. 
long or longer; flowers large, white, on strong pubescent pedicels 
about 3-3 in. long, by 3-4 or fewer and racemose, or solitary on the

ovate to ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, membranous, softly pubescent, 
3-1 in. long, deciduous;° sepals enlarging in fruit, pubescent, 
broadly ovate, acute, about 3-3 in. long, the inner ones shorter and 
narrower; corolla broadly bell-shaped, glabrous, about 1-14 in. 
deep ; anthers much twisted after shedding of the pollen ; filaments

hyaline-chartaceous, the size of a small cherry, globose, smooth, 
quite enclosed in the enlarged sepals, 2-celled, with usual y 2 se
