Stem shrubby, erect, clothed with a brown uneven 
bark, terminated in a corymb-form panicle: the upper part 
only branched : branches spreading, thickly clothed with 
spreading unequal villous hairs, as are the petioles, pedun¬ 
cles, calyx, and nectariferous tube. Leaves very large, 
broader than long, cordate, scarcely acute, the largest about 
h inches broad, and 4 long, slightly lobed and undulate, 
sharply toothed with short unequal cartilaginous teeth, 
strongly and numerously nerved underneath, and furrowed 
on the upper side, the nerves much branched, densely 
clothed on both sides with short woolly hairs, so that it 
feels very soft when touched. Petioles stout, channelled 
on the upper side and convex on the lower, much widened 
and thickened at the base. Stipules variable, lanceolate or 
ovate, or sometimes cordate, villous and fringed. Flowers 
terminating the plant above the leaves in a corymbose 
panicle, very numerous, which occasions a splendid appear¬ 
ance. Umbels 4 to 6-flowered. Peduncles short and stiff, 
ascending. Involucre of 6 ovate, acute, fringed bractes, 
which are more or less connected at the base. Pedicles 
about the length of the bractes, of a reddish brown colour. 
Calyx 5-cleft, segments lanceolate, acute, of a reddish brown, 
with green tips, villosely fringed; upper segment largest, 
erect, two side ones smallest, reflexed or revolute, lower 
ones spreading. Nectariferous tube a little shorter than
