on long stout pedicels thickened upwards into a solid turbinate body crowned with six 
obtuse hardened perianth-lobes, within this is a conical styliform body to the face of 
which abortive anthers are adnate. Similar monstrous flowers occur in P. spherogy-

Dalzell describes this as a small strict shrub 3-4 ft. high with flexuous branches,
