bris, stipulis triangularibus breve cuspidatis, panicula terminali tri- 
chotoma parva laxa peduneulum semipedalem nudum terminante, in- 
florescentiæ ramis bracteis subulatis suffultis. 
Folia 5 poll. longa, 2 poll. lata. Calyx basi bibracteolatus, puberulus, 
dentibu striangularibus obtusiusculis, post anthesin patentibus. Co- 
rolle tubus 3} lin. longus; limbi segmenta ovato-oblonga, acuta, 14 
lin. longa, sub anthesi reflexa. Filamenta crassa, brevissima ; anthera 
basi sagittatæ, apice acuminatæ, laciniis corollinis breviores. Stigma 
claviforme, exsertum. Fructus glaber, leviter bilobatus.—Crescit in 
montibus Syhadree, prope Parwarghat ; floret Feb. 
Readily distinguished from all other species, by having the inflores- 
cence on a long bare peduncle, twice the length of the last pair of 
leaves; the flowers are pretty numerous, small, and pink.
