146 !MB. C. B. CLARKE ' 8 BOTANIC notes 



The corolla is large, very long, inflated from near the base; audi 

 therefore think it must be put in Chirita {vide my remarks under 

 C. primulacea, C. B. Clarke), The style at the top is shortly 

 equally bifid, not unilateral, as heretofore insisted on for Chirita. 

 The corolla is a beautiful yellow, with orange-brown spots in the 

 throat, much resembling that of Dichrotrichum Griffithii in my 

 figure, but longer. There are four stamens, as usual, in Chirita y 

 and generally a prominent rudiment of the fifth. The stem is 

 horizontal (slightly drooping) from trees or rocks ; and the leaves 

 (nearly always five in number) are all closely approximated at 

 the very top of the stem, and lie nearly in the horizontal plane. 

 The species is one of the most beautiful in this beautiful order.

 spreading shrubby species that only flower altogether after re- 

 maining several years without producing a single flower.
