ON A NEW GENUS OF SCROPHULARINERE FROM MARTABAN. Il 
the gland connecting them being of a bright ruby colour. The 
whole central part is like a little gem—a pearl set round with small 
rubies. 
In the structure of its flower it comes nearest to Boucerosia, 
but differs in its perfectly rotate corolla, while in habit and 
appearance it is far removed from Stapelia, Boucerosia, and Caral- 
luma. It approaches in habit to some Euphorbias, having a minia- 
ture resemblance to E. nivulia, barring the thorns. I dedicate 
this genus to Sir H. B. E. Frere, not only as a mark of esteem 
and respect, but also because he always has been the enlightened 
encourager and promoter of scientific researches in India, and is 
himself a close observer of nature.
