Plant much tufted at the base, producing many shoots,
which are covered with glandular hairs. Leaves zS\. petiolate,
ovate, a little obtuse, attenuated at the base, regularly feather
nerved ; upper side very soft to the touch, like velvet,
the feather-nerves being deeply channelled ; under side
clothed with long hairs, and small scale-like bristles, serrately
toothed. Petioles rather long, flat on the upper side,
and convex below, hairy on both sides. Flower-stems leafy,
rarely above a foot in height, forked, tinged with purple to
the first joint. Peduncles upright, or a little drooping, covered
with numerous very unequal glittering hairs, as is also the
whole of the flower-stem. Flowers by two’s, or threes;
lower ones in pairs, terminal ones in threes. Calyx peltate,
deeply 4-cleft; segments broadly ovate, bluntish, concave
on the inside in the bud state, spreading, densely covered
with hairs, and fringed ; upper one much recurved on both
sides, inclining to revolute ; the next 2 recurved a little on
the outside, lower one quite flat. Corolla 2-lipped; upper
lip rounded, almost pointed, curved inwards, or somewhat
revolute, clothed with yellow hairs; lower lip scarcely inflated,
rather narrow upwards, but widening abruptly to a
broad end, which is undulate, and slightly crenate, with a
