ciosis, pedicellatis ; calyce tubuloso breviter 4-dentato, pedicello 3plo longiore, 
ferrugineo-hirto, demum in fructu aucto; сого tubo calyce 3plo longiore, striato, 
hirto, limbi rotati laciniis 14—15, oblongis, acutis; staminibus 10, omnino inclusis, 
supra medium tubi insertis; ovario ovato, disco insito; stylo tenui corolle longi- 
tudine: drupa oblonga, acuta, subcarnosa, imo disco crasso stipitata, apice stylo 
recurvulo apiculata, calyce aucto incrassato inclusa; pyrene valde exsculpto abortu 
2-loculari, loculis monospermis. In Ins. Cuba (пов vidi). 
Its stout branchlets have their axils 3-4 lines apart; the leaves are 31-5 in. long, 
21-3 in. broad, on petioles 9-11 lines long; the panicle is 31 in. long, the peduncle 
2 lines long, the ramifications 4 lines long, the ultimate pedicels 2 lines long; the calyx 
is 5-7 lines long, 3 lines broad; tube of corolla 12 in. long, contracted at its base for the 
length of 5 lines, where it is 2 lines broad, gradually enlarging towards the mouth, which 
is 6 lines broad; the horizontally expanded segments of the border are equally 4 lines 
long. 2 lines broad; the filaments are inserted about 2 lines above the middle of the 
tube alternately a little above the others; the filaments 21 lines long, the anthers 
15 line long; the ovary 2 lines long, on a disk 1 line high; the style 17 lines long, its 
4 recurved branches 2-3 lines long ; the enlarged calyx is 12 lines long, encloses a drupe, 
which, with its discal support, is 10 lines long, 5 lines broad. А drawing of this plant, 
with its analytical details, copied from Richard's figures, is given in Plate VIII. of the 
present memoir.

. A transverse section of the 4-celled ovary: all equally magnified. | 
. The persistent calyx, now grown to 30 times Из, former length, becoming a reticulated bladder- 
like envelope, deeply 5-angled, narrowed by 5 teeth 1 in the mouth, and NY cordate at 
the base.
