similar, narrowly to broadly lanceolate, clasping from a narrowed (or above widened) 
base, longer than the internodes, the largest 5 to 9 cm. long, 0.5 to 1.8 cm. wide; 
thyrsus narrowly elongate, strongly secund, nearly one-third the height of the plant, 
composed of 5 to 9 fascicles, each consisting of 2 short axillary branches, the longest 
pedicels equaling or exceeding the peduncle; sepals 5 to 7 mm. long, ovate, with a 
caudate tip sometimes nearly equaling the body, obscurely veined, with white to

corolla 16 to 22 mm. long, the tube and throat 11 to 16 mm. long, the throat strongly 
inflated and rounded ventrally, the 2 posterior lobes 5 to 6 mm. long, united and 
arched one-third to one-half their length, projecting, the 3 anterior lobes slightly 
longer, united at base, the free portions widely spreading; corolla very sparsely glan- 
dular-puberulent externally, glabrous within, deep blue (not seen fresh); anther sacs 
widely divaricate, 1.2 to 1.4 mm. long, lanceolate, distinct, opening from distal apex
