beautiful specimens were received from Mr. Lynch, of the 
Cambridge Botanical Garden, from which the accompanying 
drawing was taken in October last. 
Descr. A small slender obscurely puberulous shrub, 
about three feet high, with an erect stem, 4-angled brown 
branches, and drooping leafy branchlets which turn up 
their flowering tips (that this is ever the habit of the plant 
in its native country is, however, improbable, and is not 
confirmed by any of the indigenous specimens in the 
Herbarium). eaves one to one and a half inch long, sub- 
sessile, linear-oblong, obtuse, narrowed at the base, rather 
thick, with faint nerves, closely gland-dotted, rather dull 
pale green. Racemes two inches long, six- to eight-flowered, 
glandular-puberulous; pedicels shorter than the calyx. 
Calyx narrowly campanulate; lips half to one-third the 
length of the tube, lanceolate, acute, nearly straight. 
Corolla carmine, tube twice as long as the calyx, throat 
ventricose,- mouth contracted; upper lip short, oblong, 
obtuse, pubescent and glandular, lower much larger, nearly 
three-fourths of an inch broad, three-lobed, lateral lobes 
small, orbicular; midlobe transversely oblong, two-lobed, 
lobules rounded. Anthers with the lower arm of the con- 
nective linear-oblong, auricled at the base. Style villous 
on the upper side below the stigmatic arm.—J. D. H. 
Fig. 1, Calyx; 2, stamen; 3 and 4, back and front views of the anther-cell; 5, 
end of style and stigmas ; 6, disk and ovary :—all enlarged.
