nerves prominent beneath. Peduncles shorter than the leaves, 
2—5 from an axil (united to the petiole or to the midrib, Jacé), 
erect, single-flowered, hairy, bibracteate. Ca/ye of four deep, 
red, broadish, subulate segments. Corolla infundibuliform, ven- 
tricose below the broad-spreading five-lobed white lip, yellow, 
with the tube two inches long. S¢amens included, arising from 
near the top of the tube; two of them sterile. Anthers connate,

Cuxr. This singular-looking plant, a native of Pulo-Penang, 
should be cultivated in a warm stove, in a temperature such 
as is suited to tropical Orchidacea, Gesneriacea, and other sub- 
epiphytal plants, that require a warm and moist atmosphere 
during their season of growth. Like most of its allies, it 
thrives in a mixture of light loam and leaf-mould or turfy peat, 
and must not be over-watered during the winter. It ap 
to be of dwarf growth, and produces short lateral shoots from 
amongst the leaves, which strike root readily when treated as 
cuttings. J. 8.
