sharp teeth, hairy on both sides, strongly nerved; the
nerves much branched, the stronger ones terminated into
lobes, and the smaller branches into teeth: upper leaves

the lower, a little dilated at the base. Stipules large, ovately
lanceolate, taper-pointed, and fringed. Peduncles cylindrical.

lanceolate acute villous bractes. Pedicles about the length
of or scarcely so long as the bractes. Calyx 5-cleft, the
segments lanceolate, acute, scarcely so long as the nectariferous
tube. Petals 5, of a bright red, all obovate, and
rounded at the points; the two upper ones very large, unequal
sided, with a white mark near the base, and a large
