spreading- towards the mouth, laclnite obtuse, rather erect. 

 Anthers naked, dirty-purple, nearly enclosed. Germen top- 

 shaped, smooth : style longer than stamens : stigma exserted, 

 capitate, green. 



This plant, which was raised from Cape seeds, by Messrs. 

 Loddiges and Sous, and communicated by them in September 

 1815, differs so little from the Jiava of Andrews, except in 

 the leaves being much more crowded together, and growing 

 six instead of three in a whorl, that we can only consider it 

 as a variety of that species. The tube of the corolla is so 

 little contracted upwards, that we hesitated whether to seek 

 for our plant in division B. or D. of the fifth section in the late 

 Mr. Dryander's excellent arrangement of the species. In the 

 latter division, it would stand next to jilamentosa, a change 

 in the character of which would be necessary, to distinguish 

 it from Jiava. 



Propagated by cuttings. Flowers in September. Re- 

 quires the protection of a greenhouse.
