mentioned B. Kerere of Aubl.; but the whole genus is in 
a state of confusion, many of tbe species in herbaria being 
undescribed ; and few of these being known in a fruiting 
state, the important characters of the capsule and seeds 
are unascertained. 
The specimen of B. buccinatoria here figured was sent by 
Thomas Hanbury, Esq., F.L.8., from his magnificent 
botanical garden at Palazzo Orengo, La Mortola, near 
Ventimiglia, in July. The flowers are of a far deeper 
blood-red colour than they are represented to be in the 
other figure of the plant. 
Descr.—A_ tall, woody climber, with more or less 
obtusely angled branches. Leaves bifoliolate, petiole usually 
ending in a branched tendril; leaflets two to three inches 
long, elliptic or ovate-oblong, cuspidate or obtuse, thinly 
coriaceous, dotted with pellucid glands, glabrous above 
and beneath, or with scattered hairs on the nerves beneath, 
base rounded cuneate or subcordate; petiole short, 
petiolule one-fourth to three-fourths of an inch long, ~ 
terete, and rachis of raceme scurfily tomentose; nerves 
about six pairs, arching; a pair of very small elliptic 
leaflets is often present at the very base of the petiole, — 
and on the joints of the rachis of the raceme. flowers 
pendulous in terminal racemes; rachis of raceme erect, 
stout, thickened and sometimes leafing at the nodes, few- 
flowered; pedicels one half to three-quarters of an inch 
long, decurved, stout, green. Calyx half an inch long, 
and nearly as broad, green, cup-shaped, terete; mouth 
truncate, irregularly 5-toothed; base rounded. Corolla 
four inches long, finely tomentose, with a short pale 
yellow tube, gradually dilating into the long dark blood- 
red clavate or trumpet-shaped throat and lobes, slightly 
curved ; lobes half an inch long and broad, bifid, spreading. 
Filaments slender ; anthers hardly exserted, of two narrow 
sausage-shaped divaricate cells, the very small connective 
produced into a short dorsal spur. Disk annular, thick, 
raised. Ovary ovoid, tomentose ; style slender, puberulous ; 
lobes of stigma narrowly ellipsoid. J. D. H.
