the limb triangular and acute. Stamens 8, adnate to the base of 
the tube. Glands 4, oblong.—A fleshy, erect, branched, gla-

tube ovate-cylindrical ; limb 5-lobed, spreadingly reflexed or 
revolute ; lobes obtuse. Stamens 10, adnate to the base of the 
tube of the corolla: the upper part free, exserted or almost in-

which are subulate.—Fleshy shrubs, native of the Cape of Good 
ope. Leaves usually scattered. Flowers loose, panicled, pur- 
Plish or orange-coloured. This genus has been divided into 
sections from the form of the corolla by the Prince Salm-Dyck, 
but the corolla being unknown in a great many of the species we 
cannot follow these divisions.
