short, crowded, spreading, clothed with a short brown pubes- 
cence. Leaves numerous, crowded, nearly spreading horizon- 
tally, rigid, roundly obovate, obtuse, with a short stiff mucro at the 
end, the upper side rough and glossy on the old leaves, under- 
neath thinly clothed with procumbent silky hairs: young leaves 
narrower, more pointed, and the upper side thickly clothed with 
fascicles of hairs, which are seated on small tubercles, that oc- 
casions the roughness when the hairs wear off, when very young 
of a purple colour. Petioles very short and stiff, pubescent. 
Racemes short, terminal, 6 to 19-flowered, the point slightly 
recurved, the peduncle smooth and glossy, or but very slightly 
pubescent. Flowers of a greenish white, with green points, and 
a purple style, generally in pairs, and ascending, all facing up- 
wards. Pedicles clothed with stellate fascicles of short stiff hairs. 
Perianthium clothed with close pressed hairs, some of which 
are in fascicles, and are slightly spreading: split on the front 
side for the exclusion of the style, the points rolled backwards, 
tube bearded inside; the two upper laciniz longest; at first all
