fleshy, about + of an inch long, lanceolately linear, nearly 
flat. above, with a thin finely serrulate rim, beyond which 
the border is reflectent and shelves inwards, so as to form a 
deep ledge round the sunk disk of the under surface, which 
is of a silvery white, petiole ligulate, short, pressed to 
the branch, protuberant at the foot. Flowers cernuous, ` 
generally in threes, from the ends of the short branchlets, 
which are produced sometimes loosely sometimes closely 
but irregularly at the sides of the principal branches con- 
siderably below the top, thus forming a kind of oblong 
panicle: peduncles one-flowered, more than once and a half 
Shorter t| the corolla, ‘filiform, firm, reflectent, red, . 
frosted: bractes nearly of the shape of the leaves, but 
smaller and coloured; two near the flower, one removed 
from it. Calyx about three times shorter than the corolla, 
coloured, leaflets ovate and like the bractes. Corolla of the 
colour of red sealing-wax, coated over with a shining 
diaphanous viscous substance ensnaring all the small in- 
sects that light upon it, rather more than a quarter of an 
inch long, urceolately ovate, slightly narrowed at the short 
neck, opened by a widish orifice; limb upright, very short, . 
Segments rounded and broader than deep. Stamens de- 
pressed to below the orifice : filaments ligulately linear, flat, 
tapered, bent with deep doubles, the lower of which slants 
outwards; anthers crested, reddish brown. Germen round, 
depressed, green, smooth, 8-knobbed, with a glandular 
ting below the base; style columnar, bulbous at the foot, 
equal to corolla; stigma obtuse, obscurely quadrifid, nearly 
ac 
Requires, like the rest of the genus from the same 
‘regions, the protection of the greenhouse; and to be 
'planted in peat-mould from the surface of sandy heaths.
