number. 
Duscr. A climbing shrub, everywhere glabrous. Leaves op- 
posite, on short petioles, between ovate and elliptical, submem- 
branaceous, shortly acuminate, penninerved and reticulated, the 
base cordate. Where the petioles are inserted upon the branch 
are two, fleshy, laciniated, somewhat stellated, conspicuous, sti- 
pulaceous scales. Raceme subpaniculate, in the only specimen 
we have seen terminal, many-flowered ; pedicels curving up- 
wards, at length spirally twisted. Flowers very large, fine deep 
rose-colour, streaked with deeper red at the faux. Calyx cut to 
the base into five, long, straight, erecto-patent, subulate Jacinie, 
half as long as the contracted portion of the tube of the corolla. 
Corolla green in the bud, very large when fully expanded. The 
‘ube infundibuliform, campanulate in the upper half, and con- 
tracted and cylindrical and white in the lower half: Zimd full 
four inches across: the does spreading horizontally, oblique, 
subrotund, but tapering into a long acumen. Stamens inserted 
at the summit of the contracted portion of the tube, and sheath- 
ing the stigma and top of the style. Filaments very short. An- 
thers linear, glabrous. Ovaries two, with an obtuse, fleshy 
gland, on each side at the base. Style united, filiform. Stigma 
conical, five-lobed.
