smaller and narrower, till the uppermost resemble lanceolate 
bracts. Flowers in pedunculated, few-flowered corymds, longer 
than the leaves, and forming, in fact, an elongated, leafy panicle. 
Pedicels with minute subulate dracts at the base. Calyza five- 
partite, with the segments subulato-lanceolate, half the length 
of the corolla, erect. Corod/a of a dull purplish red colour, 
campanulate, but cut down almost to the base into five 
oblong-lanceolate, acute, erecto-patent lobes. Staminal crown 
of five, ligulate, fleshy /eaflets, not half the length of the corolla, 
emarginate and lengthened out on each side just below the apex 
into two awl-shaped processes, curved outwardly at the extremity : 
thus each leaflet is narrow-lyrate. Anthers with a terminal, ovate 
lobe, shorter than the ovary in our specimens. Style elongated. 
Stigma bifid.
