1-12 lin, long, complicate and deeply lacerate, slightly connivent

obtuse, inflexed on and covering the truncate style-apex. Schlechter

I do not find the corolla-lobes “ very shortly puberulous ” on the inner face as 
described by Schlechter. The complicate lacerate appendage of this species 
distinguishes it from all others.

high, simple, slender, with 12-20 leafy nodes below the lowest 
flowering node, rather closely placed, minutely and more or less 
bifariously puberulous; leaves opposite or 3 in a whorl, erect, 3-14 
in, long, 3—8 lin. broad, linear, acute, with revolute margins, glabrous ; 
umbels sessile, 3-6-flowered; pedicels 3—4 lin. long, puberulous ;

almost glabrous; corolla-lobes apparently suberect, with a slight 
twist at the apical half, 2 lin. long, nearly 1 lin. broad, oblong-

inner face, otherwise glabrous, brown with a green basal part ; 
corona-lobes slightly exceeding the staminal column, erect, contiguous 
or slightly overlapping, 1 lin. long, 3 lin. broad, oblong, very obtuse, 
slightly notched on each side at the middle, with an appendage 
decurrent in 2 keels and a minute marginal tooth on each side at the 
notches on the inner face, apparently reddish or light purplish on 
the upper part; appendage 2-2 lin. long, very abruptly inflexed 
over the style-apex from the very apex of the lobe, which forms a 
mere marginal rim behind it, broadly linear, 3-toothed at the apex, 
channelled down the inner face ; staminal column nearly 1 lin. long ; 
anther-appendages ovate, subobtuse, with their tips inflexed on the
