A shrub rarely exceeding 18 or 24 inches in height, sometimes very 
much branched, with creeping? roots. The young leaves, branches, and 
calyx soft, flexible, tomentose, ferruginous. Flowers few, scattered along 
the stem on short peduncles, shooting with the young branches from the 
bud of the last year, very large for the size of the plant, the exterior pe- 
tals obovate or nearly round, the interior smaller, oblong, all yellowish 
white. The fruit I have not seen. 
Not found I believe to the North of the Altamaha. Very common in 
the dry pine barrens between that river and the Satilla. 
Flowers March-— April.
