round, scarcely channelled above, twisting. Peduncles 
axillary, solitary, single-flowered, ebracteate, as long as 
the petioles, erect, straight, green, villous. Flowers spread- 
ing horizontally. Calyx foliaceous, five-parted, persistent, 
segments (one inch long, half an inch broad,) subequal, 
the upper rather the shortest and broadest, ovate, acute, 
prominent at the edges, veined, pubescent within and 
without, sometimes becoming purple, entire or rarely auri- 
cled at the base. Corolla (nearly three inches long, two 
inches across, ) rose-coloured, pubescent everywhere on the 
outside, campanulate, slightly turgid below ; tube elongated, 
somewhat curved downwards, dilated, nectariferous, and 
nearly colourless at the base, darkish on the upper side, 
within freckled with rose colour, and having yellow pubes- 
cence towards the insertion of the stamens ; Limb spreading, 
ed segments rounded, subequal, the lowest the 
smallest, the two upper ones the largest : from the base of 
the lower segment upon each side, a straight ridge, covered 
with erect, yellow hairs, extends to the insertion of the two 
longer stamens. Stamens four, didynamous, as long as the 
tube, from the base of which they arise ; filaments com- 
pressed and adhering for a little way to the corolla and 
there closing the tube, coarsely pubescent where they be- 
come free, at this part purple on the back, beautifully 
sprinkled with rose-coloured spots or streaks, from which 
springs a glandular pubescence, especially on the sides of 
their upper half, straight, diverging slightly, connivent to- 
wards their extremities ; anthers large, bilobular, glabrous, 
lobes parallel in the bud, afterwards divaricated, bursting 
along their sides. Pollen white, granules small. There is 
a mimute, abortive, fifth stamen, between the two shorter 
perfect ones, at their origin. Pistil as long as the stamens ; | 
_ stigma simple, bent nearly at a right angle with the style, 
colourless, pointed ; style straight, filiform, smooth above, 
sparingly provided with glandular pubescence, in its lower 
half, base persisting ; germen seated upon a prominent, 
white, glabrous, and shining receptacle, (gland) densely 
covered with erect, colourless, glandular hairs, bilocular. 
Unripe Capsule crown-shaped, green, colourless at the 
ise, somewhat compressed and furrowed laterally, covered 
with glandular pubescence, undulate, terminated with the 
persistent base of the style, included within the calyx. 
vules numerous, imbricated, tubercled, stipitate, erect, on 
two large, central receptacles, winged all round ; wing radi- 
ated, emarginate, somewhat ragged at its edge; nucleus,
