Characteristics

major leaves but otherwise similar. Inflorescences fascicled on short, 1-4 mm long, obscure peduncles; the pedicels filiform, shaggy pubescent, 15-20 mm long, perhaps glabrescent in fruit. Flowers with the calyx cyathiform, as broad as deep, 4-5 mm across, short-toothed, its detail obscured by the dense tomentum of erect, dendritic hairs; corolla companulate, pubescent outside with short simple hairs, inside perhaps pubescent at the point of anther insertion, lobed halfway down, the lobes 3-4 mm long, obtuse, reflexed, glabrous within; stamens equal, the filaments inserted near the mouth of the corolla tube, the anthers exserted, apiculate, the thecae opening wide and their walls folding back to back, the anthers thus becoming elliptic, bright yellow with white margins; the style straight or curved, exserted ca. 2 mm, the stigma capitate, basally 2-lobed.
