Rootstock perennial? crowned with slender membranous leaf-sheaths. Stem as 
thick as a crow-quill. Radical leaves 4-6 by 4-3 in., petiole and rachis slender, seg- 
ments 30-40, at regular intervals, Jj in. broad. Racemes 4-8 in.; bracts slender, cre- 
nulate, erect; pedicels very short; flowers appressed to the rachis, 3 in. long, red- 
purple. Calyx } in., glabrous, oblong, lobes lanceolate not crested. Corolla-tube not 
exceeding the calyx; upper lip sickle-shaped inflated in the middle, beak straight 
much larger and longer than the lower, which has 3 small obovate acute ciliate lobes. 
Capsule 4—3 in., lanceolate, finely acuminate, twice as long as the calyx. Seeds | in. 
long, subellipsoid, base appendaged, dark, faintly striate and punctate.

Stem 2-4 ft., as thick as the middle finger below, shining, hollow ; branches ascend- 
ing, slender, long, incurved. Leaves scattered, flaccid, 6-12 by 2-5 in. ; pinnze spread- 
ing, 1-2} in. long, rachis puberulous winged with lobules between the segments above, 
naked and slender below; petiole 2—4 in., slender. Racemes a foot long and under, 
rather dense-fld.; bracts pinnatifid, small, pedicels 1-3 in.; flowers small, j in. long. 
Calyx 4 in., spathaceous, broadly oblong, split to the base, mouth oblique, minutely 
toothed. Corolla-tube not exceeding the calyx; upper lip with an oblong inflated 
base usually villous along the margins contracted into an incurved tail ; lower lip 
narrow, with a small rounded median lobe. Capsule in. long, oblong-ovate, 4 times 
as long as the calyx, tip rounded with an apiculus at one side. Seeds 1 in., black, 
minutely reticulate.— I regret having no note of the colour of the flower of this majestic 
species, which was, I believe, red-purple. 
$8 Tube of the corolla not or very little longer than the calyx; upper lip 
quite glabrous.
