The leaves of tbis plant are described by Scblechtendal as being 

 from 4 to 6 inches long and from 2 to 3 inches broad, upon a 

 very short petiole of only 3 or 6 lines in length; the calyx is 

 1| inch long, increasing to 1^ inch ; the corolla is 1^ inch long, 

 the filaments being 9 lines and the anthers 5 lines in length. 



Linden's plant above quoted, I have presumed to be the same 

 species : here the leaves are thick and coriaceous, quite smooth 

 above, clothed below with yellowish stellate down; they are broadly 

 ovate, shortly and suddenly attenuated at the obtuse emarginated 

 apex, 51 inches long, 3^ inches broad, on a thick channeled pe- 

 tiole of ^ to f inch in length ; the inflorescence is much longer 

 than in any other species, each dichotomous branch forming a 

 distinct raceme of 4^ inches in length, bearing the articulations 

 of several flowers towards their apex, which have all fallen oiF.

The leaves of this species are 5|^ inches long, 21 inches broad 

 on a petiole of l to | inch in length ; the terminal inflorescence 

 branches mto two or three very short few-flowered racemes, the 

 pedicels being 2 lines in length ; the thick fleshy sepals are of an 

 orange colour, 1^ to If inch long, f inch broad, forming by their 

 conmvent edges a long and somewhat ventricose pentangular tube 

 the angles appearing in some degree winged and undulating- 

 the tube of the corolla is If inch long, 4 lines in diameter, very 

 thick and fleshy, of a deep orange colour, externally clothed with 

 fine floccose down, and smooth within, the segments of the bor^ 

 der being rounded, barely 3 lines long, and 21 lines broad ; the 

 stamens are fixed m the contracted portion of the tube, 3 lines 

 above the base, and are pilose at their origin, quite smooth and
