great breadth of the lobes of the corolla and their acute apices, 
constitute the chief specific distinction. In those particulars I 
can find none to accord with it. It flowers in July in our stoves. 
Descr. Our plant is not more than four feet high, branched 
above, the stem and éranches woody. Leaves mostly confined to 
the apex of the branches, large, broad-oblong, on rather long 
nearly terete petioles (furrowed on the upper side), attenuated at 
the base, acuminated at the extremity, penninerved, the zerves 
parallel and approximate, dark green above, paler beneath and 
reticulated between the nerves. Peduncle terminal, a span and 
more long, erect, firm, stout, terete, bearing at the extremity a 
cyme of many compact flowers. Pedicels articulated, red (some- 
times partly green). Calyx small, of five short, rounded, erect 
lobes, ved, tipped with green. Corolla large, hypocrateriform. 
Tube \ong, narrow, yellow, deeply tinged with red. Limd of 
five, large, spreading and moderately oblique, rich yellow (slightly 
tinged with red), acute segments. Mouth of the corolla red. 
Stamens inserted at the base of the tube of the corolla. Axthers 
sagittate, nearly sessile. Ovaries two, united in the style. Stg-
