A shrub, with erect weak branches, which are obscurely four-sided, and 
clothed, especially the younger ones, with stellated pubescence, of which 
the rays are exceedingly numerous, and such as to give it a mealy ap- 
pearance to the naked eye. Leaves always opposite, 5 or 6 inches in 
length, lanceolate, somewhat waved, serrated in the upper part, the ex- 
tremity acuminated and nearly entire, dark green above, paler beneath, 
the younger ones covered with a stellated pubescence, the older ones 
pubescent only on the nerves beneath, all of them petiolated, with the 
petioles scarcely more than half an inch long. 
Cymes axillary, small. The peduncles or main stalks scarcely exceeding the 
length of the petiole, the pedicels short, having minute, linear-lanceo- 
late bracteas at their base. Flowers small, drooping when fully ex- 
panded. 
Calyx small, cup-shaped, with four short and very obtuse teeth. Corolla 
subcampanulate, 4-lobed, the lobes erecto-patent, of a white colour, 
fringed with pink. Stamens 4, inserted at the base of the corolla, and 
exceeding it in length. Filaments white, glabrous. Anthers oblong, 
yellow. Pistil: germen superior, small, spherical; about as long 
as the stamens, filiform, white ; Stigma obtuse, scarcely capitate. " Ber^
