peduncle solitary or few in a cluster, rarely 1 in. long; pedicels 0-2 in.; bract some- 
times half the length of the ovary; bracteoles smaller, connate. Corolla £r long

oval smooth yellow the size of a currant," Rozb.—l have difficulty in distingu ihe 
this from the following; some Mergui specimens have large leaves roun hr der

peduncles and pedicels. There is no named specimen of L. carinatulus in Wa p 
Herbarium, but good ones were distributed to Hooker and Bentham ; they do 
differ at all from ampullaceus.
