densely pilose, and adhering beneath to the petiole. Bracts 
linear, two, alternate on each peduncle. Calyz five-parted, 
hairy, reddish; laciniæ erect, linear, acute, the upper one 
smaller. Corolla white, tinged with purple externally, much 
longer than the calyx, infundibuliform; tube somewhat 
gibbous at the base, incurved, expanding above; limb sub-

internally streaked with yellow; all the segments roundish,
