received from Messrs. Veitch in April, 1856. 2. Javanicum 
(Tab. 4336), the nearest ally to the present, has broader petio- 
lated leaves, more prominent stamens, and the lobes of the corolla 
not crisped at the margin. 
Descr. A shrub, epiphytal or terrestrial. Branches stout, 
dark purple. eaves often ample, from six to nine inches long, 
firm, coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, acute, the margin a little revo- 
lute, the very short petiole dark purple, broad and thick: the 
colour a full green above, the same or a little paler beneath, but 
there sparingly dotted with minute radiated scales. Uméel large, 
lax, many-flowered, terminal. Peduncles rather short, glabrous. 
Calyx none, quite obsolete. Corol/as between campanulate and 
infundibuliform, large, of a full orange or golden-tawny colour: 
the texture thick, between fleshy and coriaceous: the ude elon- 
gated, dilated at the base, spreading at the mouth and gradually 
widening into the large, five-lobed, crisped or undulated /imd. 
Stamens ten, as long as the tube: filaments downy at the base: 
the anthers linear-oblong, curved and converging over the mouth 
of the corolla in a remarkable manner. Ovary oblong, five-celled, 
surrounded at the base with a broad, annular, ten-lobed, fleshy 
disc (as in R. Javanicum). Style shorter than the stamens. 
Stigma large red. :
