with the midrib, and after running parallel to the margins in 
their upper parts, anastomose with the nerves above them.

long, loosely many-flowered; pedicels as long as or longer 
than the calyx, erect in flower, decurved in fruit. Calyz

dull purplish. Covolla-tube rather longer than the calyx, 
campanulate ; limb nearly half an inch across, very deep 
cobalt blue; lobes broadly oblong, almost rounded; scales 
in the throat short, two-lobed, thin, pale purplish blue, 
tips exserted, their margins below ciliate. Stamens in- 
cluded, connective of anther emarginate. Ovary of four 
globose lobes; style stout, one-third of an inch long, 
base narrowly pyramidal. Nutlets of fruit broadly 
ovate, obtuse, suberect, margins thickened and surface
