Stem suffruticose, procumbent, much branched,
spreading in all directions: branches more or less
warted with brownish purple warts, and clothed with
fascicles of short stellate hairs. Leaves variable, lower
ones nearly round or broadly ovate, others oblong, elliptic
or broadly lanceolate, obtuse dr scarcely acute,
green on both sides, but paler underneath, flat, or the
margins very slightly revolute, dotted with numerous
small dots, thinly clothed with short hairs on the upper
side, and with fascicles of short stellate ones on the
lower. Petioles hairy, shorter than the stipules. S tipules
linearly-lanceolate, flat, or their margins slightly
reflexed, ciliate, longer than the petioles. Racemes
terminal, many-flowered, nodding before the flowers
expand, the point involute, but lengthening out and
becoming erect after the expansion of the flowers.
Bractes short and flat, clothed with short hairs, the
margins fringed. Pedicles nodding before the expansion
of the flowers, erect when in bloom, afterwards
reflexed, canescently tomentose, and also clothed with
