Frutex circiter 1.5 m altus, hirsutus; foliis ovatis ad oblongo- 
ovatis, chartaceis, usque ad 15 cm longis, acuminatis, basi corda- 
tis, margine distanter denticulatis, supra parce hirsutis, subtus 
hirsutis glandulosisque ; inflorescentiis terminalibus, paniculatis, 
paucifloris, calycibus 1.5 cm longis, inflatis, extus pilis longis 
atro-purpureis crispatis obtectis; corolla circiter 2 cm longa. 
A shrub about 1.5 m high, most parts prominently hirsute.

tantly denticulate, the upper surface with scattered, long, weak 
shining hairs, the lower surface rather densely hirsute on the 
midrib, nerves and reticulations and with numerous, minute, 
shining, yellow glands; lateral nerves about 8 on each side of 
of the midrib, prominent, the reticulations distinct; petioles 2 
to 6 cm long, densely hirsute. Panicles terminal, few-flowered, 
10 cm long or less, peduncled, all parts rather densely covered 
with dark-purple, crisped, spreading hairs, the bracts linear, 1 
cm long or less, the bracteoles similar, smaller. Flowers white. 
Calyx somewhat inflated, oblong-ovoid, 1 cm long, at anthesis 
about 8 mm in diameter, the lobes lanceolate, acuminate, about 
8 mm long. Corolla-tube cylindric, 2 cm long, 2 mm in diameter,
