Pelai-gonium elegans, minor. Hoare MSS. 
Stem sufFruticose, erect, very rugged and uneven, 
occasioned by the persistent stipules. Branches short, 
crowned with a tuft of leaves. Leaves rigid, nearly or- 
bicular, obtuse, sharply and deeply toothed, smooth 
and shining on both sides; nerves pubescent. Petioles 
very long, slightly flattened, and furrowed on the upper 
side, and rounded on the lower; thickly clothed with 
soft downy hairs, as are the peduncles and calyx. 
Stipules lanceolate, sometimes cordate, keeled, and 
ending in an acute point. Peduncles branched; umbels 
several-flowered. Involucre of many bractes; hractes 
lanceolate, keeled, concave and taper-pointed. Pedicles 
about 3 times the length of the nectariferous tube, vil- 
lous. Calyx 5-cleft, segments unequal, reflexed, con- 
cave. Nectariferous tube about the length of the calyx.
