posite, decrescent, lowermost from six to eight inches, or 
more, in length, scarcely ever one in breadth, spatulately 
lanceolate, petioled, near; wppermost distant, linearly lan- 
ceolate, sessile. Panicle terminal, upright, tall, slightly 
pyramidal, opposite-flowered, distant, subfoliaceous till the 
leaves gradually diminish to bractes; peduncles axillary, so- 
litary, upright, slightly divergent, dichotomously two- 
flowered, with a small brecte under each short pedicle, de- 
crescent, lowermost longer than the flower, which seldom 
exceeds an inch and a half. Calyx small, green, 5-parted, 
campanulate, acute, bracteless. Corolla of a red between 
vermilion and salmon-colour, deeper and shining along the 
upper side, elongatedly tubular; faux dilated, somewhat flat- 
tened at the upper side, three times longer than its diame- 
ter or more; limb sémiringent, short, upper lip straight, 
obtuse, notched, lower tripartite, deflected, bearded, hairs 
yellow. ‘Filaments cemented to the lowermost part of the 
tube, two uppermost having bulbously enlarged pediments; 
the fifth antherless and smooth, placed between the up- 
permost pair. In Pensremon the barren stamen has a shaggy 
pubescence extended along the upper side, something in 
the way of a mane, which constitutes a principal mark of 
distinction between that genus and the present, which were 
formerly considered as one. 
Requires to be kept in a warm dry sheltered situation, : 
where it will flower throughout the greater portion of the 
summer and autumn. Propagated by parting the root, and - 
by cuttings, or slips. 
The drawing was made from a plant Mr. N. S. Hodson 
had the kindness to send to Mr. Edwards, from his col- 
lection at South Lambeth.
