Stipules ovately lanceolate, acute, fringed. Peduncles 
nearly cylindrical, more or less bent. Umbels several flow¬

dicles unequal in length, some not so long, and others 
double the length of the bractes. Calyx 5-cleft, segments 
lanceolate, acute, upper one broadest, erect, keeled, the 
points of the others reflexed. Nectariferous tube much 
flattened on each side, and gibbous at the base, about half
