Branchlets glabrous, tips rusty-villous. Leaves 7i by 2-2f in., long-acuminate, 

 base cuneate, young rusty-villous, soon glabrescent; primary nerves 12-15 on each 

 side, prominent ; petiole | in. Calyx-lobes nearly ^ in., villous. Corolla ^ in. long 

 and upwards, segments scarcely pubescent without. Anthers oblong, acute, exserted. 

 Staminodes linear-lanceolate. Ovary densely villous. Fruit not seen. —This may be 

 a form of the next species which the leaves closely resemble ; but the calyx-lobes are 

 blunter, the buds not lanceolate upwards.
