FLOWERING PLANTS FROM MADAGASCAR. 275 



lanceolate, acute, glabrous, finely deutate. Flowers in an ample 

 terminal panicle with spreading, few-flowered, secund, glandulose, 

 slender branches, with small oblong bracts similar to the leaves in 

 texture, produced at the base of the primary and secondary ped.' 

 eels. Calyx ^ in. long, densely glandular-pubescent, cut down 

 nearly to the base into linear segments. Corolla glabrous, bright 

 yellow, twice as long as the calyx, with an oblique oblong 

 decurved tube nearly half an inch in diameter, and 5 small 

 orbicular, subequal, ascending segments. Stamens 4, included, 

 arcuate, inserted about the middle of the corolla-tube. Style 

 filiform, as long as the corolla. Capsule oblanceolate, glabrous, 

 rather longer than the calyx.— Betsileo-land and Tanala. Two 

 Madagascar species of the genus have been gathered previously. 



Clerodendron macrocalycin cm, Baker, n. sp. 



Shrubby, glabrous in all its parts. Leaves shortly petioled, 

 oblong-lanceolate, acute, entire, moderately firm in texture, green 

 on both sides, 2-3 in. long. Flowers in a lax terminal panicle, 

 with cymose branches ; bracts minute, linear ; pedicels slender, 

 ascending, ±-| in. long. Calyx oblong, glabrous, half an inch long ; 

 segments 5, deltoid. Corolla subrotate, with a cylindrical tube 

 twice as long as the calyx, and 5 nearly equal spreading, obovate, 

 obtuse segments half an inch long. Stamens 4, reaching to the 

 top of the limb ; anthers minute, oblong. Style filiform, nearly 

 2 in. long, cleft at the stigmatic apex. Fruit not seen. — Tanala. 

 Eemarkable in the genus for its very large calyx and nearly equal 

 corolla-segments. 



Saltia crypto cl ada, Baker, n. sp. 



A shrub, with long, straight, finely pubescent, wand-like 

 branches, entirely hidden by the ascending leaves. Leaves crowded 

 up to the base of the raceme, sessile, oblanceolate-oblong, subob- 

 tuse, minutely crispato-crenulate, 1-1| in. long, rigidly coriaceous, 

 green, rugose, and shortly pubescent on the upper surface, densely 

 matted with persistent white tomentum beneath. Raceme mo- 

 derately dense, 2-3 in. long, the flowers about four in a whorl ; 

 pedicels £ in. long; bracts small, oblong-lanceolate, leaf-like in 

 texture. Calyx under ± inch long, green or purple, finely glan- 

 dular-pubescent ; upper lip | in. long, with three lanceolate-cus- 

 pidate teeth ; lower lip with two large lanceolate-acuminate teeth. 

 Corolla reddish, 1-1^ in. long, the tube dilated gradually from
