1. 8. carneus (Klotzsch in Linnea, xii. 236); more than 1 ft.

compact, minutely subtomentose-puberulous, greyish ; leaves 3-nate, 
erect, imbricate or shorter than the internodes, 2—11 lin, long, linear 
to oblong-lanceolate, subacute, puberulous all over, with a tuft of 
much longer hairs at the tips when young; flowers subsessile, 2-6 
together, terminal on short branchlets; bracts 3, subequal or un- 
equal, the middle one about as long as or exceeding the calyx-tube, 
linear, subacute, ciliate with hairs and subsessile glands and tipped 
with a tuft of hairs ; calyx 4 lin. long, thinly coriaceous, tubular- 
campanulate; tube sharply 4-angled, glabrous or very slightly pubes- 
cent ; teeth opposite the angles, as long as the tube, lanceolate, acute, 
ciliate with hairs and glands and tipped with a tuft of hairs; corolla 
about 1 lin. long, campanulate-funnel-shaped, contracted near. the 
base, straight, glabrous (pink ex Klotzsch); lobes about twice as 
broad as long, broadly rounded, incurved in the dried flowers but 
perhaps erect when living; anthers exserted, basilixed, } lin. long, 
cuneate from a slight divergence of the cells, spurred at the base ; 
spurs nearly half as long as the cells, slighty flattened, linear-lanceo- 
late or sublanceolate, very acute; ovary compressed, obovoid,
