“ Leaves scattered, pubescent when young, naked and dark green above when old, densely covered with snowy tomentum beneath; on short, erect petioles, linear, truncated, spinuloso-serrated, veinless, slightly revolute at the edges. ”

“ Calyx four-parted, covered with appressed pubes cence; claws linear, yellow, the spoon shaped segments of the limb reddish, nodding. Anthers elliptical, subsessile in the cavities of the calyx. Style twice as long as the calyx, shining, of a deep purple colour except at the base and apex, where it is yellow, deciduous, rigid, apex nodding. Stigma an abrupt, glandular, scarcely-swollen termination to the style, retained for a time within the calyx, as in the other species, and when liberated, covered with the yellow, granular pollen, which gives it a capitate form. ”
