1-flowered, erect, as long as the leaves, pilose, furnished with 
2 bracts near the summit. Calyx 5-parted, with erect, acute — 
lacinie, the uppermost smaller. Corolla white, infundibuli- _ 
form, bilabiate, similar to that of D. crinita, but smaller, as _ 
is the whole plant. Stamens 2 fertile, conniving above, 
2 sterile. Anthers approximate, reniform, 2-celled. Nectary 
surrounding the base of the ovarium, obsoletely 5-toothed at 
the margin. Style equal to the stamens. Stigma simple. 
Capsule long, straight, silique-shaped, pseudo-4-locular, as in 
the genus. Seeds numerous, naked. 
DIDYMOCARPUS CORNICULATA. W. J. 
Erecta, foliis alternis obovatis acuminatis serratis, floribus 
diandris fasciculatis secundis super pedunculum axillarem 
elongatum, 
Found at Tapanooly in Sumatra.—Stem nearly erect, 1-2 
feet high, herbaceous or somewhat shrubby, villous. Leaves 
alternate, petiolate, obovate, acuminate, narrowing to the 
base, serrated, pilose above, villous below. Peduncles axil- 
lary, solitary, elongated, bearing several dense fascicles of 
flowers, all turned to one side, depressed, or bent at an angle 
to the peduncle, and spreading in a kind of half-circle, some- 
what in the manner of Lotus corniculatus. Flowers many; 
white; pedicels articulate below the calyx, covered, as well 
as the calyx, with glandular hairs. Bracts linear, acute. 
Calyx 5-parted, segments linear. Corolla white, much longer 
than the calyx, infundibuliform, wide at the faux; limb some- 
what oblique, bilabiate, the lower lip longer, 3-lobed. Stamens 
2, connected above by their anthers, whose lobes are trans- 
verse. Style as long as the stamens. Stigma capitate. Cap- 
sule silique-shaped, 2-celled; cells bipartite, (as if 4-locular;) 
2-valved, generally bursting at one side, many-seeded, Seeds 
naked, 
The disposition of the flowers and fruit is peculiar; the 
capsules spreading horizontally, like radii, in a sort of semi- 
circle, of which the peduncle is the axis.
