and reticulate veins. Panicle terminal, much-branched, 
spreading, many-flowered. Peduncles, pedicels, and calyces 
ferruginous, densely villous with stellated hairs. The flowers 
smaller than those of L. Regine, but more numerous, and in 
much larger panicles, pale rose-coloured on first expansion, 
and passing through various gradations of intensity till they 
become at last nearly purple. Calyx covered with ferru- 
ginous wool, turbinate, regularly marked with many deep 
longitudinal furrows or ribs, giving it a fluted appearance; 
limb spreading, 6-parted. Before expansion, the calyx is 
obconical, and nearly flat at top. Corolla 6-petaled, spread- 
ing; petals inserted by short ungues alternately with the 
segments of the calyx, ovate, not much undulated. Stamens 
red, numerous, inserted on the calyx, 6 longer, thicker and 
more conspicuous than the rest. Ovary thickly clothed with 
white hair, 6-celled, many-seeded. Style erect. Stigma clavatg. 
Oss. This beautiful and splendid species may be readily 
known from L. Regine by the greater size of its panicles 
and their ferruginous colour. The flower-buds in that 
species represent somewhat a double cone, in this a single 
inverted cone, being flat and even depressed at top. L. hir- 
suta, Lam. is also quite distinct, having hirsute leaves.
