In Brunsreisia americana the leaves are shorter and 
broader than here, the peduncles twice the length of the 
calyx, here scarcely equal to it; the calyx is patent and not 
cornered, here connivent and pentagonal; the tube of the 
corolla is about 2 inches long, here 3; the limb more de- 
cidedly bilabiate and quite even, here undulate. The flowers 
of americana have a much stronger scent, but less fra- 
grance than those of undulata. 
The drawing was taken at the nursery of Messrs. Col- 
villes, in the King's Road, Chelsea. 
Leaves scattered, oblong-lanceolate, obovate or tapered 
downwards farther than they are upwards, patent, smooth, 
shortly petioled, 3-6 inches long. Flowers 2-3, terminal, 
sulphur-coloured, upright; peduncles thick equal to or 
shorter than the calyx, covered with a short nap or down. 
Calyx about the third of an inch long, herbaceous, cylin- 
drical, obtusely pentagonal, downy, shallowly 5-cleft, 
unequal, lobules rounded, upright, connivent, one smaller 
than the rest. Corolla hypocrateriform; tube above 3 
inches long, of a greenish sulphur-colonr, round, downy, 
slightly curved, thicker than a crow-quill, with a narrow 
orifice nearly closed by the anthers of the two longest 
stamens; limb 3-4 times shallower than the tube, subbila- 
biate, rotate, slanting forwards, downy at the inner disk, 
cleft for about 3 of its depth, segments subcordately round, 
waved, nearly equal, uppermost one emarginate or notched. 
Filaments white, enclosed within the tube, in the upper por- 
tion of which they are inserted, 4 times shorter than that, 
bent at the base and projecting from the wall of the tube; two 
shorter: anthers vertically two-lobed, and long in the same 
direction, yellowish. Style equal to the tube, filiform, 
slightly thickened upwards, seamed on each side and ap- 
pearing as if formed of two united: stigma capitate slanting 
forwards, with a transverse seam, which is connected each 
way with the seams of the style: germen whitish green, 
ovate, tapered, smooth, nearly the length of the calyx. |
