The pubescence on the corolla-lobes can rarely be seen on dried specimens, 
except by turning back the lobe in water and viewing the edge against the light. 
XXVIII EMPLECTANTHUS, N. E. Br. 
Calyx 5-partite. Corolla deeply 5-lobed, the united part forming 
a broad shallow cupular tube ; lobes valvate in bud. Corona double, 
arising from the staminal column ; outer 5-lobed ; lobes small, pouch- 
like, spreading, alternating with the anthers ; inner of 5 simple lobes, 
more or less adnate to the stamens, with free tips, and dorsally 
connected with the base of the outer corona-lobes. Stamens united 
into a tube around the ovary and adnate to the enlarged part of the 
style ; anthers erect or incurved-ascending, applied to the sides of or 
sub-incumbent upon the small truncate style-apex, without a mem- 
branous appendage. Pollen-masses minute, subquadrate with a pellucid 
margin on one side, erect, solitary in each anther-cell, attached in 
pairs to the exceedingly minute pollen-carriers by extremely short 
caudicles.  Follicles only seen in an immature state, long and 
slender, linear-terete, perhaps slightly constricted between the seeds 
when ripe. 
Herbaceous twiners with the habit and general appearance of T'ylophora ; leaves 
opposite, long-petioled, cordate ; peduncles lateral at the nodes, bearing 1 or 
more fascicles of flowers.
