ascending, long or short. Sepals linear-oblong, an inch 
long, pale yellow inside, with a round brown-black spot at 
the base. Petals cuneate, as broad as long, placed nearly 
edge to edge in the expanded flower, rounded to a minute 
cusp on the outer margin, bright scarlet with a dash of 
yellow, ciliated towards the base with a few large brown- 
black bristles ; claw brown-black with a very distinct 
densely hispid brown-black nectary in the middle. Stamens 
less than half as long as the petals; filaments much 
shorter than the pale yellow linear anthers. Ovary 
cylindrical-trigonous, narrowed to the base and apex; 
stigmas spreading, sessile.—J. G. Baker.
