This resembles T. fumila, but its leaves are not glaiiootis beneatb 

 and tliey bave moi'e nerves : moreover the flowers are smaller and not 

 drooping, tbe petals ovate and not obovate, and the carpels are only about 

 half the length of those of that species.

There is some variability as to the shape and size of the sepals : 

 sometimes they are tilangular and much smaller than the petals, in 

 other specimens they resemble the petals both in size and shape. The 

 stamens also vary in number, but they never form more than a single 

 row. The texture of the leaves in some plants is thin and membranous, 1 

 in others almost coriaceous. It is possible there may be two species ! 

 included in this.
