villoso-canescent and silky; stem short, sub-simple, scaly and tomentose; leaves on long petioles, elliptical, or oblong, or ovate, or sub-rotund, obtuse or acute, crenate, penninerved, canescent or tomentose on both sides; stipules deltoideo-subulate, bifid, rufous; peduncles branched, the partial elongate, few or many-flowered; calyx-tube shorter than the pedicel; sepals villoso-canescent, elliptico-lanceolate, mucronate; staminal tube mostly hairy. Variable in size of leaf and flower, in the amount of pubescence, and partly in the form of leaf and sepals. Still, after carefully considering the figures and descriptions above quoted, and comparing with Jacquin's original specimens, and with many others from various collectors, I find it impossible to recognize, among the forms before me, more than a single species. The flowers vary from white, with dark blotches, to pale purple, and to deep purple with blotches.
