368 SOUTH AMERICAN BOTANY. 
This species, in the appearance of its leaves, has very much the 
habit of the genus Zycioplesium, but the flowers are much larger, 
and more showy. The leaves are one inch and a half long, ten 
lines broad, with a petiole three lines in length: the peduncle is 
one inch and a quarter long, drooping, slender at base, thickened 
at its summit; the calyx is two lines long, three lines broad, | 
somewhat pentangular, and five-nerved, the teeth being short, and 
rounded, with a mucronate apex: the corolla is large and hand- 
some, one inch and an eighth in length, and one inch anda 
quarter in diameter across the border : the stamens are glabrous, 
three quarters the length of the corolla, the style is somewhat 
longer, glabrous, slender, and the stigma clavately bilobed.

It possesses a habit very similar to the species before described, 
its leaves are one inch and an eighth long, five-eighths of an inch 
wide, tapering, with a very short petiole two lines in length: the 
axils are approximate, scarcely more than nine lines apart. The 
peduncle is nine lines long, the dark-red fleshy calyx splitting 
irregularly into three unequal triangular mucronate lobes with 
membranaceous edges, is three-eighths of an inch long, the corolla 
is large, broadly campanulate, one inch and a quarter long, one 
inch diameter in the mouth, the somewhat expanded, pentangular 
border, measuring one inch and a half in diameter.
