cujus tantum summitates allatm. Rami brevissime. appresso- 
pilosuli, glabrescentes. Folia caulina superiora uncialia vel bre- 
viora, mox glabrgta. Flores in quovis fasciculo sspe quatuor. 
Bractez involucrantes foliis floralibus parvulis longiores et acu- 
tiores, plures quidem sed haud numerose, 3-2" longe, rigidulse. 
Bracteole bracteis similes, nisi minores, quibuscum persistentes. 
Calyces circiter 3" longi, basi tenus fissi, scabriusculi. Corolla 
circiter pollicaris, statu saltem sicco rosea, extus sparse et perbre- 
viter pilosula, intus superne glabra; tubus lobis szturate punctatis 
duplo longior, inferne cylindricus, superne gradate ampliatus. 
Filamenta glabra, infra medium tubi inserta, e quo breviter 
emersa, longiuscule adnata. Ramulus connectivi alter descendens ; 
loculi ambo fere securiformes, pallidi, antice bivalves, circiter 
$'" longi. Stylus pollice paulo brevior, inferme breviter 
pubescens. Discus cupularis. Capsula 3-3" longa, basi tenus 
dissiliens, extus scabrido-pilosula ; pars inferior stipitiformis, septo 
contrarie compressa; pars superior subito dilatata, septum versus 
compressa, apice acutiuscula. Septum perbreve.  Retinacula - 
subulata, arcuato-curvata, adscendentia. Semina cordato-orbicü- 
lata, murieulato-scabra, fusco-nigra, fere sesquilineam metientia. 
Thunbergia fragrans (J. G. Koenig in Roxb. Pl. of Coromand. 
i. 47 t. 67) vel species finitima profertur ad flumen Endeavour-River 
(Persieh). Folia ibidem ovato- vel oblongo-lanceolata, apicem 
versus sensim angustata, basi perbreviter bilobata, passim hastata 
(ut in stirpe typica forsan fragrantia). Calycis parce sericei 
dentes subulati, breves. Corolla alba; tubus semipollicem vix 
excedens, tenui-cylindricus, limbo zquilongus, ad insertionem 
staminum conspicue barbatus.  Anthere omnes imberbes et 
 ecalearatm. Stigmatis lobi 2 semi-orbiculares. Fructus ignotus.— 
Utrum specifice distincta, an varietas sit, observationes ulteriores
