Stem shrubby, erect, branching ; branches erect, or 
a little flexnosCj very rugged, occasioned by the per- 
sistent bases of the petioles and stipules, densely to- 
mentose. Leaves roundly ovate, obtuse, plicate, covered 
on both sides with a soft dense tomentum, which gives 
them a velvetty appearance, closely toothed with 
rounded unequal, generally double teeth. Petioles 
often twisted, flattened on the upper side and rounded 
on the lower, thickly covered with long soft villous 
hairs. Stipules clasping the stem, generally bifid, 
points acuminate, fringed, bases persistent. Flower- 
stalks slightly branched, often dichotomous. Umbels 
3 or 4 flowered. Involucre generally of 6 bractes, some 
ovate, others lanceolate, concave, and ciliate. Pedicles 
nodding before the flowers expand, erect when in 
bloom, and ascending when in fruit. Calyx 5-cleft, 
upper segment widest; erect, strongly nerved, concave, 
the others narrower, spreading, with membranaceous 
margins, all thickly covered with soft white hairs. 
Nectariferous tube about half the length of the calyx. 
Petals 5, hairy on the outsides, the 2 uppermost widely
