florum, D. Don, prod. fl. nep. p. 125. This species differs 
from the preceding, in the flowers being not one-third the size ; 
in the segments of the calyx being linear; in the 2 superior 
lobes of corolla being shorter, and acutish; and, lastly, in the 
leaves being twice as broad, shorter, and nerved ; as well as in 
the style being inclosed. 
Small-flowered Aischynanthus. Shrub creeping. 
6 Æ. oBLONGIFÒLIUS ; downy ; stem thick, tetragonal; leaves 
unequally ovate-oblong, acuminated, downy, serrulated ; cymes 
axillary. k. S. Native of Chittagong, in mountain valleys 
common. Incarvillea oblongifolia, Roxb. fl. ind. 3. p. 112. 
Peduncles solitary, dichotomous, with a flower in each fork ; 
and each division bearing 3-6 flowers, all very villous. Corollas 
large, like those of Martynia diándra, colour a mixture of 
whitish-red, tinged with yellow: one pair of the filaments 
slender and abortive ; the fertile pair thick and villous, bearing 
large 2-lobed anthers. The capsule is shorter and thicker than 
in the preceding species. The seeds are flat, and winged by a 
membranous margin all round. Perhaps a new genus.
