filaments pass through a hairy ring near the bottom of the 
tube: Anthers, before the flower opens, upright, with four 
grooves. Styles 5, rather longer than the stamens: stig- 
mas lobular, villous. Nectaries five concave scales, one— 
at the base of each germen. 
There can be no doubt but this is the CoryLepon papil-— 
laris of Haworra, but this author himself doubted of its 
being the papillaris of Tuunzere. At the time he wrote 
his Supplement, there was no possibility of coming to a_ 
certain decision in this respect, from the very insuflicient 
specific character given in the Prodromus ; but since the 
publication of the Flora Capensis, it is evident that our 
plant cannot belong to that species, which is there de- 
scribed, as having a herbaceous decumbent stem, and very 
much smaller leaves and flowers, with the limb of the corolla 
equal in length to the tube. Burman’s figure and descrip-| 
tion, quoted by Hawortu, however imperfect, evidently 
apply to our plant. And as this figure is not quoted to any 
other species, and the description of no recorded one cor- 
responds, we are constrained to apply to it a new specific 
name, that of papillaris being, as above-stated, already pre-- 
occupied. We have accordingly given one from the striking 
decussate position of the leaves. a
