Description
Shrub 2.5 m. tall, with several stems. Flowers light sweet fragrance; corolla white, the tube faintly yellow-green, the face faintly yellowish. Fruit green, then yellow-orange, then light brown and apparently disintegrating on the plant. Plants not unlike those of Solandreae+Juanulloeae in many respects, especially the dimpling of the flower bud just below the corolla lobes and the thick and fleshy but fragile corolla.
