Its leaves are 1^-1| inch long, 9-10 lines broad, on a

tibus, cinereis, jimioribus adpresse pilosulis ; foliis longe 
spathulato-oblongis vel lanceolato-oblongis, obtusis, supra 
obscure viridibus, scabrido-asperatis, e tuberculis albis rigide 
pilosis, subtus pallidis vel brunnescentibus, pilis simplicibus 
rigidis adpressis vestitis, fere enerviis, marginibus revolutis;

brevioribus, aut terminalibus vel e ramulis novellis brevis- 
simis folio unico munitis ortis, 4-6-floris ; floribus brevissime 
pedicellatis ; calyce fere ad medium 5-6-dentato, dentibus 
mucronulatis, utrinque cano-velutino ; coroUae tubo calyce 
paulo longiore, lobis 5-6, rotundis, imbricatim expansis ; 
staminibus 5-6, medio tubi insertis ; antheris longe ex- 
sertis, mucronulatis ; stylo ultra quartam partem bifido. — In 
Mexico : v. s. in herb. Mm. Brit, (ex herb. Pavon sub nom. 
Ehretia exsucca). 
The specimens bearing Pavon’s name, in his own hand, are 
inscribed in pencil, by D. Don, Cortesia spathulata', but it 
certainly does not belong to that genus. Its branchlets are

little more than ^ inch long, pedicels -g-l line long ; calyx 
3 lines long ; tube of corolla 5 lines, wider in the mouth, lobes
