„Leaves 4 by 1$ in. Sepals sometimes nearly free, narrowly lanceolate, sometimes 
united half-way.—Scarcely separable from Æ. grandiflora var. parasitica, but has 
broader leaves, and comes from a different area.

Leaves 4 by 11 in. Pedicels often numerous, sometimes 4 in., sometimes capitate. 
Calyx (in the typical plant) deeply divided, tube wide subcampanulate, lobes lanceo- 
late; in Af. & T. n. 15, calyx-tube narrow-cylindric teeth sublinear as long as the 
tube. Anthers (in the typical plant) far exserted; in all the numerous examples of 
H. f. § T. very shortly exserted.—Hardly distinguishable from Æ. ramosissima, but 
by the small calyx.

Examples imperfect; the species is certainly distinct if, as Brown says, “semina 
extremitate superiore ditricha;" but it exceedingly resembles Æ. longicaulis, Wall., 
from the same place.
