Flowers terminal, solitary or occasionally ternate ; pedicels 
filiform, thinly pubescent with spreading hairs, purplish, 
minutely 2-bracteolate near the middle when the flowers 
are solitary. Calya deeply 4-lobed, lobes wide ovate and 
minutely apiculate, sparingly hairy, 14-2 lin. long. Corolla 
inflated tubular, narrowed below and at the mouth, 4-toothed, 
nearly 1 in. long, 6 lin. wide at the middle, bright red, 
sparingly and finely glandular-pilose, the teeth wide ovate 
and somewhat obtuse. Stamens attached at the base of the 
corolla, the epipetalous filaments springing from a some- 
what cucullate (perhaps nectarial) base at a somewhat higher 
level than the rather shorter episepalous filaments, normally 
, but occasionally some of them abortive. Disk-scales 
linear-oblong, 2-toothed. Curpels almost free, connivent 
in flower, narrowly lanceolate, 3-4 lin. long; styles about 
6 lin. long. follicles diverging upwards, 4-5 lin. long.
