pedicels 0—1 in. ; bracts 4 in., and bracteoles 4 in. ovate-lanceolate, the latter close 
to the ovary or more distant in the lower longer pedicels. Calyw-teeth is in., usually 
acute in fruit. Corolla 1 by } in., widely tubular, nearly glabrous without, green, 
green-yellow or whitish. Anther-cells each with 2 terminal bristles, Fruit i in, 
diam., brown hairy, surrounded by the deep-blue enlarged calyx.—Dimorphie flowers 
oceur, with short stamens and anthers not produced upwards nor horned; see Wight's 
figures quoted above. 
Var. racemosa, Hook. f.; leaves lanceolate narrowed at both ends, racemes 
numerous 4—5 in. flexuose.—Sikkim, J. D. H.—Leaves 44 by } in., racemes very 
narrow, the uppermost pedicels 1 in. with the bracteoles hardly above the middle, 
Var. hirsuta, Gardner ms. (sp.); branches bristly, leaves elliptic obtuse or 
rounded at both ends often bristly beneath.—Ceylon, alt. 6-7000 ft. ; Gardner,

middle of the pedicel. Calyx nearly or quite glabrous, Corolla and fruit as in G. 
Sragrantissima (Hooker, however, denotes the flowers as “pink and white ”).—This 
may be an alpine form of G. fragrantissima, analogous to var. hirsuta, of that species ; 
but the bracteate racemes give it a different aspect. 
Var. angustifolia ; leaves lanceolate 2t by 3 in. narrowed at both ends.—Sikkim; 
Yakla, alt. 9-10,000 ft., C. B. Clarke.

(provisionally attached to the genus here) is at least semi-adnate in the young 
flower.
