apice densissime glanduloso-pubescens ; ovula in quoque loculo 10, 
biseriata.— OC. venusto affine, sed differt foliis glabris, bracteis corol-

1. B. Gidsoni ; suffruticosa, diandra, tota glaberrima, staminibus effeetis 
3 anantheris squamiformibus, foliis ellipticis utrinque acutis subtus 
glaucis margine setulis minutis ciliolatis, floribus spicatis, spicis ter- 
minalibus brevibus solitariis, bracteis parvis foliaceis anguste ovatis 
obtuse acuminatis, bracteolis linearibus acutis, calycis laciniis majori- 
bus ovalibus subzequalibus integerrimis. 
Spica 1-2 poll. longa, pallida: flores quadrifariam imbricati, pauci. 
Folia breve petiolata, 4—7 poll. longa, 11—3 poll. lata, reflexa, arcuata, 
subcomplicata, supra lineolata. Bractee 4—5 lin. longe, penninerves, 
calycis laciniis majoribus dimidio breviores. Bracteole 3 lin. longe, 
bracteis paulo breviores, lineares, acutæ, complicate, margine cilio- 
late. Calycis lacinie majores 9 lin. long, 5 lin. late, palmatim 
9-10-nerves, herbacez, flavo-virentes. Corolla bipollicaris, pallide 
rosea: tubus parte inferiore purpureus, limbi lacinize cuneatz, obovate, 
duo superiores basi purpureo-maculatz, inferior paulo brevior. Sfa- 
minum sterilium rudimenta squamzeformia, longe setaceo-acuminata, 
glandulosa. Stigma iruncatum, purpureum. Capsula calyce paulo 
brevior, glaberrima, cuspidata, basi vix attenuata, tetrasperma. Se- 
mina fusca, glabra, vix compressa. Fl. temp. frigido.— This species 
was grown from seeds sent by Dr. Gibson, the superintendent of 
the Honourable Company's Botanical Garden; but of the original 
locality I am ignorant. It is one of the prettiest species I have seen.

breve pedicellatis, bracteis in pedicelli medio insertis brevibus subu-

bris palmatim 10—12-nervibus, inferiore apice interdum bidenticulato, 
laciniis minoribus angustis subulatis duplo brevioribus, staminum 
breviorum filamentis anantheris rudimento quinti. 
Rami glabri, ad nodos tantum tomentosi. Folia 5-6 poll. longa, 13-
