furfuraceous, terete. Pedice/s about an inch long, supported by 
an ovate, acuminate, concave, membranaceous éractea, ciliated 
at the edge, and about equal to the pedicel in length. Mowers 
pendent, large. Calya of three, long, slightly twisted, linear- 
oblong, attenuated, deeply canaliculate sepals, broader and red 
at the base, the rest full yellow, and everywhere clothed (except 
at the membranous overlapping edges) with soft, copious, spine- 
like, horizontal processes, uncinate at the apex: the shortest and 
least uncinate are at the base of the sepals, those at the extremity 
are tipped with a pencil of hairs. Petals white or cream-colour, 
more than half as long again as the sepals, slightly twisted, 
linéar-subspathulate, slightly concave below the point, with no 
internal scale at the base. Stamens included, a little shorter 
_ than the petals. Ovary pyramidal, three-furrowed. Style as 
large as the stamens. Stigmas three, spirally twisted. :
