slightly 5-lobed, sharply but unequally toothed, and 
ending in a sharp point; margins undulate, clothed on 
both sides with soft downy hairs; upper leaves, which 
accompany the flowers, rhomboid. Petioles nearly 
cylindrical, or slightly flattened on the upper side, 
very hairy. Stipules lanceolate, taper-pointed, keeled, 
sometimes toothed, but generally entire. Peduncles 
3-4-flowered, thickly clothed with long unequal hairs. 
Involucre of 5 or 6 bractes; hractes lanceolate, acumi- 
nate, keeled. Pedicles unequal in length, hairy. 
Calyx 5-cleft, upper segment erect, widely lanceolate, 
the others reflexed and narrower, all keeled and taper- 
pointed. Nectariferous tube a little shorter than the
