Jobes as long as the tube narrowly linear erect or twisted together, fimbriate at 
the base with gland-tipped hairs. ? C. Munroi, Wight Ic. t. 1264. 
TRAVANCORE ; rocky place on the Anamallay hills, alt. 3-4000 ft., Beddome. 
. Stem 4-9 in., slender, glabrous below. Leaves 4-6 by 4-4 in, narrowed at the 
base and gradually from the middle to the tip.  Peduncles j-1 in., 1-4-fld. Sepals 
filiform, 1 in. Corolla-tube subcylindric, green outside, purple within ; lobes narrowed 
downwards from above the middle, basal margins reflexed, fimbriate with long slender 
hairs. Coronal lobes 10, triangular, ciliate; processes linear-spathulate, four times 
as long.—C. Munroi is only known from the very insufficient drawing engraved in 
Wight's Icones. Beddome has suggested to me its being a twining or flexuous form of 
this species, which becomes scandent in cultivation.
