an inconspicuous glabrous pale horny edge, the lowest

smaller, lanceolate. Peduncle erect, four or five inches 
long. Perianth campanulate, bright red, two or two and 
a half inches long, the segments much imbricated, the three — 
outer oblong, subacute, the three inner obovate-cuneate, 
all six furnished with a large faint bifid red-brown blotch —

long; the flattened yellow filaments glabrous at the base, 
longer than the purple lanceolate anthers. Ovary green, 
cylindrical-trigonous, shorter than the stamens; stigmas
