Evidently a very elegant species, allied to R. stamineum, Fran- 
chet, differing in the venation of the leaves, in the colour of the 
flowers, the relative length of the tube and lobes of the corolla, in 
the direction of the lobes, in the number of the stamens, and in 
the much greater length of the genitalia.
