further discovery of connecting species or characters, the 
question of priority of generic name will arise. This will 
probably be settled in favour of Awraujia, owing to the fact 
that Brotero’s very complete account of that genus was read 
before the Linnean Society in November, 1815, though not 
published till 1818. 
Duscr. A twining shrub, with milky juice, densely 
hirsute with long spreading hairs that are rusty brown 
when dry; branchlets thicker than a crow-quill. Leaves 
shortly petioled, four to six inches long, by two and a 
half to three inches broad, obovate and contracted above 
the cordate base, so as to be somewhat fiddle-shaped, 
acuminate with a long point; hirsute on both surfaces, 
but especially on the nerves beneath; costa and nerves 
stout; petiole a quarter to one-third of an inch, very 
stout. Flower in dense shortly peduncled or subsessile 
axillary cymes; pedicels short, and calyx laxly hirsute. 
Sepals one-third of an inch long, ovate-lanceolate, acumi- 
nate, erect, as long as the corolla-tube. Corolla salver- 
shaped, with rather broad tube; limb an inch in diameter, 
glabrous except the ciliate margins of the broadly ovate 
subacute lobes, which are of a yellow-brown colour within, 
and have a minutely papillose surface. Column capitate, 
filling the mouth of the corolla; scales thick, confluent. 
Pollinia minute, wedge-shaped, much compressed.—J. D. H.
