leaves oblong or ovato-lanceolate, coriaceous, entire or denticulate, covered with rust-coloured pubescence on both sides; styles (according to E. & Z.) two. Every part covered with rusty, stellate pubescence. Leaves very variable in shape, stamens sometimes 11–12. I have seen no female flowers. Glands of the petals dark, adhering by their backs to the face of the petal. Eck. & Zey. attribute but two styles to this species, and I cannot contradict them, though I think I detect the scars of five on the old capsules.
