first ciliolate, early glabrous. Flowers in sessile few-flowered 
fascicles, more rarely solitary, from the axils of the present 
or of fallen leaves, on pedicels a half to three-quarters of an 
inch long ; bracts lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, acute, shorter 
than the pedicels. Calyx 5-partite, red-purple, segments 
lanceolate subacute one inch long, excepting the posterior 
segment which is much shorter, lateral segments oblique. 
Corolla pale yellow, throat and base of lobes passing into 
orange-brown; tube curved, constricted below, and again 
dilated around the ovary ; limb bilabiate, upper lip deeply 
bifid, lower lip tripartite, segments like those of the upper 
lip obovate-rotundate, the median lobe larger and rotundate, 
all more or less fimbriate-dentate. Stamens included, four, 
inserted near base of corolla-tube ; the glabrous filaments 
cohering below in pairs ; anthers slightly coherent, two-celled, 
obtuse and rounded above, sagittate below, cells contiguous. 
Ovary superior, ovoid, narrowed into the style, minutely 
papillose, one-celled with four mutiovulate placentas ; stigma 
slightly compressed and laterally dilated, undivided, strongly 
papillose. Gland of disk posterior, ovate, about half the
