Tall shrub, often spiny, the branches more or less pubescent: lvs. small, coriaceous, opposite, elliptic-oblong or lance-oblong, attenuated to petiole, obtuse or acute, the margin somewhat revolute, entire or serrate at middle: racemes somewhat crowded, canescent, 2-3 in. long; fls. small, white, vanilla-scented; calyx campanulate, 5-costate, hirsute, with subulate teeth; corolla exceeding calyx, the throat villous.
