 on one side, the apex bifid. Corolla narrowly infundibuliform, 

 the tube narrowed and rather sharply curved to one side a little 

 below the middle ; limb short, spreading or slightly recurved, 

 the four broader lobes broadly rotundate, somewhat pointed. 

 Stamens two, perfect, inserted near the top of the tube. Ovary 

 with a thickened, lateral gibbosity or gland, tapering into the 

 long, filiform, but scarcely exserted style. Stigma capitate.
