Stem long, branched, terete. Zeaves 3} by 4 in., base cuneate or rhomboid,

1-3 together, 4—4. in. Sepals free, } by 4j in. Corolla $in., glabrous without. 
Filaments much exserted, glandular-hairy. Capsule 8 by à in. Seed 4; in., oblong, 
rough; hilar hairs 30-40, 3 in. long. 
Sect. 9. Diplotrichium. Seeds with two hairs near the hilum, one at 
the apex.—Seeds in n. 2 unknown, in nn. 3, 7 require verification: nn. 4, 
9, 6 are perhaps but one species.

pedicels terminal clustered, calyx à in. nearly glabrous, corolla 2 in. pubes-

Tavoy; Wallich. 
Glabrous except the inflorescence. Branches very thick. Leaves 5 by lin, acute; 
petiole 3-4 in., very thick. Pedicels 4 in., nearly glabrous. Calyx narrowly tubular; 
teeth 5d in, triangular. Corolla narrow tubular-funnel-shaped, scarlet, mouth 
orange purple-marked. Filaments far exserted, nearly glabrous. Seeds unknown.— 
Brown assumed the seed to have but one hair at the hilar end, and placed this 
species (doubtfully) in sect. Holocalyx, which the inflorescence and stout stem do 
not suit. 
3. Æ. Hookeri, Clarke; glabrous except the corolla, leaves lanceolate, 
pedicels terminal umbelled, calyx tubular scarlet very shortly obtusely lobed.

Stem branched, terete. Leaves 34 by 1 in., acuminate, base cuneate, fleshy, mid- 
rib beneath broad, nerves obscure; petiole j in. Pedicels 3-8, 4-4 in. ; bracts 3 vi 
narrowly oblong; branch after flowering often growing on through the umbel. 
Calyx-tubė nearly 4 in., teeth 1-3 in. Corolla more than 1 in., curved, hairy with- 
out, orange-red, the lobes orange black-spotted. Filaments far exserted, glandular- 
hairy; anthers in., narrowly oblong. Ovary glabrous; style glandular-hairy- 
Capsule and seeds not now at hand ; but the species seems very near Æ. grandiflora, 
and (it is believed) was ascertained to belong to sect. Diplotrichium.
