FLORA OF MADAGASCAR. 127 
A shrub, with slender terete woody greenish branchlets, 
obscurely pilose towards the tip only. Leaf 1-1} in. long,

cuneate, 2—1 in. long, subobtuse, with a minute muero, alternate,

few adpressed white bristly hairs on both surfaces. Racemes 
moderately dense, 1-2 in. long, on peduncles about as long as 
the leaves; pedicels very short. Calyx l in. long, with a cam- 
panulate tube and linear setaceous teeth 2-3 times as long as 
the tube. Corolla bright red, half as long again as the calyx. 
Pod straight, under an inch long, 3 lin. broad, thinly pilose, the 
valves strongly keeled, not torulose, 8-10-seeded, septate between
