erect and straight, or incurved, more rarely spreading, linear or 
linear-oblong, obtuse, sulcate, glabrous, ciliolate or naked, dry or 
viscidulous, sometimes wrinkled, 1-2 lin. long ; flowers scarcely or 
seldom clustered, calycine; pedicels 1-14 lin. long; bracts and

at the throat, white, 1 lin. or a little less long ; segments erect, 
rounded, 3-2 the length of the tube; filaments rather narrow ; 
anthers subexserted never entirely beyond the corolla, sublateral, 
otherwise as in H. lasciva, but a little smaller ; stigma simple at the 
end of the dilated truncate style. ; 
Var. 8, subviscidula (Bolus) ; all parts viscidulous; branches denser ; leaves 
more spreading, more distinctly wrinkled at the sides, glandular-ciliolate ; sepals 
lanceolate, ciliate, subviscidulous, 1-1} lin. long; corolla suburceolate ; seg- 
ments ovate, more tapering to the apex but scarcely acute and a little longer;

toothed ; stigma subpeltate, 4-punctate, smaller than in the type.

keeled or subtrigonous, suleate, glabrous, 2—4 lin. long; flowers on 
short lateral branchlets, often cernuous, not very dense, varying 
from calyeine to subcorolline ; pedicels pubescent, 111 lin. long; 
bracts sepal-like, }—2 the length of the sepals ; sepals from lanceolate 
to elliptical, oblong-obovate or broad-obovate, acuminate, acute or 
subobiuse, keeled or only keel-tipped, cartilaginous or glumaceous, 
in some specimens (Burchell’s) drying dark, in others nearly white, 
13-2 lin. long, or from 3 the length of the corolla to equalling it ; 
corolla urceolate-cyathiform, or ovoid-eyathiform, apparently white,

brown, about 3—% lin. long, decurrent-aristate ; pore } the length of the 
cell; appendage hirsute, in length from 1~—1 of the cell, free portion 
spreading, of variable length ; stigma either cyathiform with or with-
