A shrubby plant having a hoary appearance, covered all over with a dense silky tomentum of simple hairs, leaves cordate, unequally and sharply serrated; calyx five-cleft; pedicels axillary, jo, inted near the flowers, which are of an orange colour and open in the evenings; capsules truncated, longer than the calyx; carpels about twenty, not awned, hairy on the dorsam; seeds reniform, about 1/10th of an inch long and nearly as broad at the larger, end, three in each carpel; testa very hard, dull brown, covered with simple hairs, rising from a conical base, which is attached to the testa by several radiating processes like roots. The seeds are mucilaginous and like many others having this property, are supposed to be restoratives of the virile powers; they are kept in all the shops.
