subtus dense albido-luteo-villosa, omnia arrecta, petioli 5 ad 7 cm

basin usque fissus, 7 ad 8 mm longus, segmenta obovata, apice 
retusa. Corolla in dorso paulum curvata, antice in lobos 5 vix

extus dense strigosa, intus annulo pilorum satis longorum, basin 
versus deflexorum munita, ceterum glabra, 2.2 cm longa, 7 mm 
in orificio lata. Stamina longe exserta, filamenta 4 paulum 
supra basin inserta, extra corollam vario modo torta, antherae 
majorum biloculares, breviorum certe minores, uniloculares (?), 
staminodium bene evolutum. Annulus ovarii brevis integer, 
ovarium fusiforme pilosum, stylus brevi-pilosus, stigma maxi-

trichum.
