I am not entirely satisfied with my diagnosis, the material being rather 
poor. The plant is apparently rather attractive, and the flowers apparently 
expand at intervals, in the axils of the crowded leaves. The flowers, for 
a dwarfed plant, are large. The leaves are dark-green with a bluish tinge 
on the upper surface and decorated with a network of brownish veins on 
the lower surface. I have not seen the fruit, nor was the disk examined 
on account of the paucity of flowers for study.

3 cm longa. Folia in apice caulis congesta ad 8, internodiis ibi

Corolla per duas tertias tenui-cylindracea, deinde sensim paulum
