ovate-oblong, acute, one-third to one-half the 
length of the tube; corolla much expanded above, 
villous or nearly glabrous within, pubescent with- 
out, the lobes ciliolate; anthers all alike, the sacs 
mucronulate at the base; filaments villous; cap-

purple, its limb about as broad, somewhat villous
