they are broader and more or less deéply divided in two to five 
lesser segments or lobes, which are also much acuminated ; the 
cauline leaves are few, gradually smaller upwards, with shorter 
petioles, fewer segments, at length gradually passing into the 
simple, sessile, lanceolate dracts of the terminal panicle. This 
panicle (a compound raceme) is elongated, bearing many large 
exceedingly showy flowers, on long erect pedicels, which have a 
pair of opposite subulate dracts, and are pubescent. Sowers 
slightly drooping, nearly two inches long, including the spur, of 
a rich scarlet colour, except the petals, which are partially deep 
yellow. Sepals five, broad-ovate, very obtuse; spur as long as 
the flower, gradually tapering and slightly ascending, scarlet to. 
the tip. Inner petals with appendages or spurs of the same 
shape, running down into the spur of the calyx; the /imdé, as 
well as that of the lesser petals, pilose. Stamens numerous ; 
anthers oblong, bright yellow. Ovaries three, erect, glabrous, 
tapering into short subulate s¢y/es.
