‘A shrub, with erect weak branches, which are obscurely four-sided, and 
clothed, especially the younger ones, with stellated pubescence, of which | 
the rays are exceedingly numerous, and such as to give it a mealy ap- 
pearance to the naked eye. Leavés always opposite, 5 or 6 inches in 
length, lanceolate, somewhat waved, serrated in the upper part, the ex. 
tremity acuminated and nearly entire, dark green above, paler beneath, 
the younger ones covered with a stellated pubescence, the older ones_ 
pubescent only on the nerves beneath, all of them petiolated, with the - 
petioles scarcely more than half an inch long. 
Cymes axillary, small. .The peduncles or main stalks scarcely exceeding the 
length of the petiole, the pedicels short, having minute, linear-lanceo- 
late bracteas at their base. Flowers small, drooping when se ex 
panded. » | 
Calyx small, cup-shaped, with four short and very obtuse teeth. Corolla 
subcampanulate, 4-lobed, the lobes erecto-patent, of a white colour, 
fringed with pink. Stamens 4, inserted at the base of the corolla, and 
exceeding it in length. Filaments white, glabrous. Anthers oblong, 
yellow. Pistil: germen superior; small, spherical; Style about as long 
as the stamens, filiform, white ; Stigma obtuse, scarcely capitate. “ Bere 
ries white,” (Rozb.)
