glabrous, more or less glossy above ; flowers small, white, on very 
short thick densely rusty-puberulous pedicels, cymulose and forming 
large terminal and axillary rusty-tomentose or densely puberulous 
panicles usually longer than the leaves ; calyx brown, densely rusty- 
puberulous, the lobes linear-oblong, acute, 14 lin. long; petals in 
opening ovate-oblong, lengthening and becoming linear, 2-3 times 
as long as the calyx, slightly puberulous or glabrous, villously-
