long. Flowers white, axillary and terminal, glomerate, sessile, 
about 1 cm in diameter, 4-merous, the subtending bracts oblong, 
obtuse, white-tomentose, somewhat navicular, about 3 mm long. 
Calyx-tube broad, pubescent, about 4 mm in diameter, shallow, 
the lobes reniform to orbicular-ovate, pubescent, glandular, 
rounded, about 3 mm wide, 2.5 to 3 mm long. Petals glabrous,
