4. DIDYMOCARPUS CORNICULATA. Mal. Misc. vol. i. 
D. erecta, foliis alternis obovatis acuminatis serratis, floribus 
fastigiatis secundis, pedunculo axillari elongato. 
Found at Tappanooly in Sumatra. 
The stem is nearly erect, from one to two feet in height, herba- 
ceous or somewhat shrubby, villous. Leaves alternate, pe- 
tiolate, obovate, acuminate, narrowing to the base, ser- 
rated, pilose above, villous below.  Peduncles axillary, so- 
litary, elongated, bearing several dense fascicles of flowers, 
all turned to one side, déesse or bent at an angle to the 
peduncle, and spreading in a kind of half-circle, somewhat 
in the manner of the Lotus corniculatus. Flowers many, 
white; pedicels articulate below the calyx, covered as well 
as the calyx with glandular hairs. Bracts linear, acute. 
Calyx five-parted ; segments linear. Corolla white, much 
longer than the calyx, infundibuliform, wide at the faux ; 
linb somewhat oblique, bilabiate, the lower lip longer, 
three-lobed. Stamina two fertile, connected above by their 
anthers, whose lobes are transverse. Style as long as the 
stamina. Stigma capitate. Capsule silique-shaped, two- 
celled ; cells bipartite (as if four-locular), two-valved, gene- 
rally 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 semicircle, of 
which the peduncle is the axis.
