"studied on this lvs seem more "long to rate" than "broadly olate" very slightly cordate at cuneui base hookary, [illegible] crenulate, rugose, blunt at apex. lower flvs very broad, app abruptly decuminate or abruptly acute, the upper flvs suberending more fle bright purple vein, larger than if lvs near & below acute not acuminate v not abruptly so. Calyx tube 7/16 in x 3/8 in when flattened doubles hardly "broadly campanulate" the lower lip 2 cleft (the lobes decum- mate, the upper lip 4 toothed having a notch in the middle and 2 lateral sharp teeth into which veins are prolonged. Calyx 13-ribbed the upper lip 7-ribbed: 1 along back, 2 lateral that don't reach to margin 2 lateral terminating in teeth. 2 "reaching margin just" above series.
These last 2 and the 6 ribs of lower lip once more make lower part of calyx look more ribby than the upper. Corolla tube broadly exerted and twisted from calyx upper lip, purple with dark spots, hairy veins white globular glands like glands on calyx and upper part of flatus (Calyx v green if lvs have some hairs glandular as well). Corolla tube gets narrow at throat below, lower lip whitish, the large concave middle like hair v glandular at base beneath, the lateral lobes narrow. The dilated anterior portion of connectives above above throat as two purple lobes. The four teeth of calyx sharp pointed but not really spiny tipped. Style exerts beyond upper lip of corolla continuing to curve. Stamens not exserted as they are included in upper lip.
