diffuse, slender, nearly glabrous; leaves mostly solitary, linear-filiform, flattish, acute or subobtuse; peduncles 1-flowered, with minute, subremote, toothlike bracts; calyx-teeth subulate, scarcely as long as the turbinate tube; ovary shortly pedicellate, 2-ovuled A diffusely flexuous, perhaps suberect suffrutex, with long, curved branches, and distantly scattered, almost always solitary, nearly uncial leaves. Peduncles opposite the leaf, and scarcely as long; both bract and bracteoles very minute, 1/4-line long. Flowers 3 lines long, yellow, purplish externally. This is included by Bentham under A. pedunculata, but is readily known by the solitary leaves, minute, almost obsolete bracts, and the ovary. In the ovary examined I found but 2-ovules.
