A handsome growing erect bushy shrub: branches thickly 
clothed with leaves, and covered with ferruginous scale-like 
down. Leaves opposite, petiolate, broadly ovate, obtuse, some- 
times cordate at the base, and sometimes rounded, more or less 
undulate, of a leathery texture, when young covered with fasci- 
cles of hairs; more or less stellate, those wear off by age, and 
the leaves become smooth. Petzoles short and stout, clothed 
with a brown scaly pubescence. Flowers solitary, pendulous, of 
a bright salmon colour. Peduneles very slender, thickening up- 
wards, slightly pubescent. Caly# persistent, resembling the cup 
of an acorn, truncate, scarcely 4-lobed, not toothed, and dotted 
with numerousinconspicuous black dots. Corollatubular, 4-cleft, 
bluntly 4-angular, clothed with a rough pubescence: tube narrow 
at the base, and gradually widening upwards: lacinie broadly 
ovate, acute. Stamens 8, inserted in the receptacle, and exsert- 
ed beyond the mouth of the corolla. Filaments smooth, flat, at- 
tenuated upwards, and attached to the back of the anthers. Pol- 
len bright yellow. Ovariwm 4-lobed, smooth, and glossy. Style 
smooth, longer than the stamens. Stigma slightly 4-cleft.
