== Description Chemical Composition== This plant is a perennial herb growing from a thick taproot and woody stem base. It reaches a maximum height around 80 cm (31 in). The leaves are roughly oval in shape with toothed edges. The undersides are glandular phytochemical study conducted here led to the isolation and coated identification of ten compounds present in white hairsT. The upper surfaces may be somewhat hairysubulata: two mixtures of steroids, as well. The leaves are up to 9 cm sitosterol and stigmasterol (3.5 innonglycosylated and glycosylated) long. Flowers occur in the leaf axils, borne in calyces ; a mixture of hairyflavonoids, glandular sepals. The petals are rounded to oval5, the longest exceeding 3 cm (1.2 in). They are white or yellowish with darker bases. The dark patches at the bases are nectar guides. The center of the flower is rough7, feeling like a cat's tongue. The fruit is a hairy capsule containing seeds with white arils. The seeds are dispersed by ants, who are likely attracted to their high lipid content. The plant is pollinated by a variety of insects4′-trihidroxiflavona-8-C-α-glucopyranoside and 5, including the bee Protomeliturga turnerae7, which is oligolectic3′, specializing on this plant species 4′-tetrahidroxiflavona-8-C-α-glucopyranosidel; and depending completely on it for reproduction. four phaeophyt<ref name="chemical composition"/>
