tered, large, five to six inches long (some of our native specimens 
measure nearly a foot), ovate, much and gradually acuminated, 
pilose on both sides, dark green above, paler beneath, closely 
penninerved; the margin everywhere serrated, the serratures 
mucronate ; at the base the margin is fringed with long soft 
bristles, tipped with a gland, and is gradually attenuated into 
the long, stout, bright red /eaf-stalk upon which are a few 
scattered glandular sete. Peduncles axillary, aggregated (often 
densely crowded), much shorter than the petioles, single-flowered, 
having minute dracteas at the base. Flowers small for the size 
of the plant, deep tawny orange, stained with red. The upper 
sepal is oblong, convex, red, terminated with a long claw-like 
point. The lower one, or /adellum, is cucullate, the mouth ending 
in a sharp recurved acuminated point, like the mouth of a ewer: 
' the spur is short, hispid, with a few long bristles, singularly in- 
curved, almost upon itself, and swollen and didymous at the . 
apex.
