sile, terminal upon young shoots, but it is probable, from the 
prolongation of a new shoot beneath the flowers, the latter may 
appear subaxillary. The young leaves, which surround the base 
of the flowers, have somewhat the appearance of bracts. Caly- 
cine bracts lanceolate, acuminate, longer than the calyx. Calyx 
quinquepartite, the segments lanceolato-subulate. Corolla ra- 
ther pale purplish-lilac, with a few deeper lines or streaks; tube 
long, infundibuliform, suddenly contracted, so that the lower 
half is very narrow and white; Zimé nearly equal, of five, ob- 
cordate, slightly crisped, spreading lobes. Stamens four, didy- 
namous, quite within the tube. Anthers linear-subsagittate. 
Ovary oblong-ovate, on a thick fleshy torus. Style slender. 
Stigma of two very unequal segments.
