Bn Whole plant yellow. Stem 3-6 in. long, thiék, obtusely angled. Scales } in. 
1 towers 8-12; pedicels 3-3 in. angular, thick ; bracteoles below the middle about 
z in. long, acute, veined, toothed at the tip. Calyx Zin.long. Corolla 11 in. long, 
funnel-shaped ; lobes rounded, quite entire. Placentas in Wight’s drawing of 
Campb. cytinoides nearly meeting in the axis of the ovary, the flat opposed faces with- 
out ovules.—Gardner described C. unicolor from a drawing of which I have seen no 
copy. Except in the subexserted anthers and obtusely 5-lobed calyx, I do not see how 
it differs by his description from C. neilgherrica. A drawing sent by Thwaites of 
the plant be refers to C. unicolor has acute calyx-teeth. In Wight's Campb. 
aurantiaca (referred here by Clarke) the corolla is represented as hairy on both 
surfaces, as are the filament and style; and the anthers are exserted ovate acute, and 
2-celled. In his Campb. cytinoides the anthers are also exserted ovate and acute, but 
l-celled: I find the corolla in Wight’s specimens to be either perfectly glabrous or 
pubescent, and the anthers to be ovoid acute 1-celled. 
8. C. tricolor, Gardn. in Calc. Journ. Nat. Hist. vii. 153; quite 
glabrous, stem slender few-fld., scales few ovate acute, calyx 5-angled 
narrow, lobes acute, corolla with the upper lip blood-red, lower rose- 
coloured, throat yellow, filaments glabrous. Thwaites Enum. 222. 
CEYLON ; Central Province, alt. 3-4000 ft.,parasitical on Acanthacea, Gardner, &c. 
Stems more slender than in any of the preceding, 2-4in. high. Scales about 3 in. 
Calyx 3in.long. Corolla 23 in. long, lobes denticulate. Stigma with the large lobe 
orbicular. Placentas 2-partite, cordate in section, covered all over with ovules.—A 
coloured figure apparently of this species in Jerdon’s collection of drawings represents 
the corolla as 3 in. long, with a violet upper lip, and pale rose lower one; the calyx 
pedicels and bracts are red-brown. 
VAR. grandiflora; corolla larger pale rose-coloured. C. grandiflora, Gardn. 7. c. 
155 ; Thwaites l. c. 221.— Ceylon; Adam's Peak, alt. 5000 ft., Gardner. Gardner 
gives no other characters but greater size and a uniform rose colour of the flower, 
whereby to distinguish this from C. tricolor; for that of the sterile cell of the 
anther being ascending (and not deflexed) is, as Thwaites’ (who suggests grandiflora 
being a variety), a fallacious one. 
9. C. albida, Thwaites mss. ; sparsely pubescent, stem very short, scales 
very obtuse, flowers crowded very Shortly pedicelled, calyx 2-bracteolate, 
lobes rounded, filaments very short, anthers all unequally 2-celled, cells 
oblong parallel. Campbellia albida, Benth. in Gen. Pl. ii. 967. 
CEYLON ; near Hankalla, alt. 6000 ft., Thwaites. 
Stem 1-2 in., from an elongate warted rhizoma like that of C. bicolor, very stout. 
Scales X in., obovate, tip rounded. Flowers crowded, much smaller than in any of 
the other species. Calyx j in. long, pubescent, lobes very short, erose. Corolla 
lin., pubescent externally. Anther-cells acute below. Ovary completely 2-celled ; 
stigma very small, clavate.
