cirrhus, and one of the leaflets occasionally wanting, when 
the other leaflet is attached to the branch by its partial 
petiole only ; leaves when very young, as well as the young 
branches, the general and partial petioles, covered with 
short, soft pubescence. Stipules several, lanceolate, slightly 
coloured, scattered upon the common petiole, caducous. 
Flowers large and handsome, geminate, terminal, erect, 
pedicelled, the one expanding rather before the other. 
Peduncles (one inch long) erect, parallel. Calyx campa- 
nulate, green, glabrous, with six (five ?) shallow sinuosities, 
alternating with an equal number of long, subulate or fila- 
mentous teeth. Corolla (nearly three inches long, and two 
across when fully expanded) covered within and without 
with short pubescence; éube compressed dorsally, having 
three longitudinal plaits below, yellowish on the outside, of 
brighter yellow within, and streaked with lilac ; limb bila- 
biate, two-thirds lobed, lilac, paler on the outside, and 
having darker veins within, obes blunt, undulate, the upper 
reflected, the lower longer reflected towards the apex, the 
two outer of the three repand. Stamens colourless and gla- 
brous, the outer reaching to about the middle of the tube, 
the two others more than half as long, forming two arches 
by the approximation of the anthers, the lobes of which are 
divaricated; pollen pale yellow, abortive stamen more than 
a third of the length of the shortest pair, subulate and 
waved. Pirstil rather longer than the longest stamens ; 
stigma bilamellate, the lamellae subequal, crenulate, and 
slowly excitable by being touched ; germen pale yellow, 
slightly furrowed on two sides, minutely warted, every 
other part of the pistil glabrous, bilocular ; dissepiment in-
