frequently overtopped by neighbouring ones, arranged in rather 

 few-flowered corymbs. Pedicels short, with subulate bracteas at 

 the base. Calyx oblong-campanulate, tapering below, five-toothed. 

 Corolla hypocrateriform, with the tube about twice as long as the 

 calyx, slender, slightly enlarged upwards and there much inclined, 

 so as to give an oblique direction to the limb, which is broad, 

 deeply cut into five roundish, waved, spreading, deep purple seg- 

 ments, soon fading to a pale purple ; the mouth having a white 

 elevated ring. Stamens didynamous, included. Pistil also in- 

 cluded. Ovary sunk in a fleshy disk or ring, ovate. Style nearly 

 as long as the tube, and geniculated or bent at an angle so as to 

 follow the inclination of the tube, a little thickened upwards. 

 Stigma large, two-lobed.
