above. Leaves alternate, obovate, or sometimes approaching to 

 spathulate, edged with rather remote spinous teeth, somewhat 

 fleshy, scarcely punctate when fresh, when dry marked on both 

 sides with copious depressed dots ; in the ultimate ramifications 

 these leaves become gradually smaller and the flowers appear, 

 forming long graceful racemes, the pedicels frequently again 

 divided and subtended by small linear bracteas. Flowers pendent. 

 Calyx-tube short, five-angular, the five acuminated small teeth 

 appressed to the corolla. Corolla yellow ; the tube bell-shaped, 

 with greenish lines on the outside, within marked with deep 

 blood-coloured ones, which are very conspicuous, owing to the 

 spreading tube : limb of five patent linear segments, about the 

 length of the tube, their margins reflexed. Stamens four, didyna- 

 nious, inserted near the base of the tube, with the rudiment of a 

 fifth ; all of them included. Anthers large, subrotundate. Ovary 

 ovate, sunk in a fleshy slightly toothed ring. Style rather shorter 

 than the tube ; stigma two-lobed. Capsules (on the native spe- 

 cimens) oblong, tapering, two-valved, five times as long as the 

 calyx.
