Stem 6 in. , hairy ; nodes 1-3. Leaves opposite alternate and verticilled, often 

 very unequal, larger 10 by 5i in., subcordate, glabrous beneath except on the nerves ; 

 petiole attaining 4 in. Peduncles 1-4, f-ljin. ; cymes 5-8-fld., nearly glabrous;

 Corolla glabrous, white or very pale purple ; lobes |-J in., round. Stamens, 2 fertile, 

 2 rudimentary. Ovary glabrous ; stigma peltate, oblique scarcely emargiuate. — The 

 corolla is that of Chirita, the capsule of Didymocarpus ; the stigma is nearly as in 

 Chirita Kurzii, from which it can hardly be generically separated.
