Finely tomentdlate. Branclilets short, rather stout, rough- 

 ened with the prominent leaf-scars and interpetiolar lines, leafy 

 at the ends. Petioles 1 cm. or less long, slender, abruptly dilated 

 at the base. Blades to 1 dm. long and a third to a half as wide, 

 oblanceolate, gradually tapering into the petiole, abruptly acu- 

 minate and acute at the suimnit, entire, very thin, deep-green 

 and nearly glabrous above, gray-tomentellate beneath, the mid- 

 rib finely channeled above, prominent beneath, the secondaries 

 about 12 on each side, widely spreading and strongly falcate 

 toward the ends, the finer venation obscure. Cymes in the upper 

 axils, few-flowered, short-peduncled. Bractlets 1 to 2 mm. long, 

 ovate, acute, closely appressed. Pedicels about 5 mm. long, 

 slightly angled upward. Calyx deeply parted, the tube turbinate, 

 the lobes about 2 mm. long, ovate, obtusish, the prominent mid-

 slender, narrowed upward, the limb nearly 2 cm. broad, 5-parted, 

 the lobes broadly ovate, with narrow, lightly keeled base, the
