rounded, broadly acute at apex, stemely crenate, roughish pubescent above, softly tomentrose be- neath. 5 x 3½ in (12x8¼x6 cm). St. fly from base. St.-loss similar to basal but smaller, relatively brooder, dlothed in the broad sinua, more ly crenate, rougher both sides or less or not tomentrose beneath. lower ones pediceld, upper ones sessile seeming bracts (i.e. alonction flo). Corolla white (sometimes very elusive tinges of purple) 3 cm high x 2-2½ cm diam at tips, but 1/3 length, glabrous inside, very short pubescent outside. Conjunc- monly ciliate with hairs 3-4 mm long. Calyx lobes oval lance- date, 1 cm (sinus to tip) acute, edges reflexed, rough and short hairs, each sinus with oval tip rounded. Appendages 5 mm (sinus to tip). Corolla just could be called "long bell- shaped" and at each sinus is slightly pinched outward but hardly "appendaged". Flos erect or stout, very short peduncles or in lowest axils peduncles to 8 mm with 1-2 tiny bracts. I sweet at the bear small hybule in axila but these seem not to develop into branches. After infl flos stand at it 15 to 20°. Ovules flattened, lobostello's could be bordered later. [8-5-34 /-] pendulum. Lyo v St. Could be called tomentrose. Plant escapes to paths etc at V-M.
