main branches, about equalling them on the branchlets, mostly ad- 
pressed, 1-2 lin. long, linear, acute, slender, glabrous; flowers 
axillary and terminal, usually 1-3 (rarely 4-6) together, pedicellate ; 
pedicels 1-1 lin. long, glabrous; calyx 4 lin. long, truncate at the

deltoid or the longer one somewhat linear, acute ; corolla } lin. long, 
campanulate, glabrous, thin, greenish ; lobes about 3 as long as the 
tube, deltoid-ovate, very obtuse or rounded, ineurved ; stamens 4—6 ; 
- filaments 2 as long as the anthers, broad, connate for nearly half 
their length, torn asunder by the enlargement of the ovary ; anthers 
included, 2 lin. long, oblong, bifid, connate for half their length ; 
ovary ovoid, conically tapering into the short style, with several

ciliate ; corolla 1—2 lin. long, } lin. in diam., pear-shaped, glabrous, 
4-lobed, about as long as the calyx, with the very short rounded 
suberect lobes exserted when fully developed, not hyaline, drying 
brown ; stamens 4, included, adhesive to the corolla ; filaments free,
