long; the calyx of equal length is 1| line in diameter, somewhat 

 contracted in the middle, with almost lanceolate acute erect teeth ; 

 the corolla is 1 inch in length, the tube at base only a line in dia- 

 meter, swelling to a diameter of 4 lines at the mouth, the border 

 being about 8 lines in diameter; externally it is softly pubescent 

 and almost smooth within. The lower pair of stamens have their 

 origin somewhat fornicated, about 2 lines above the base of the 

 tube, opposite the reflexed broader lobe of the border, are about 

 6 hues in length, quite smooth at base, minutely pubescent 

 above ; the upper shorter pair are inserted at 7 lines from the 

 base and below the mouth of the tube, which is here slightly 

 pubescent ; they are all stiff and rigid, and want that peculiar 

 arching expansion with long glandular hairs that forms so pecu- 

 liar a character in BrowalUa. The style is about 7 lines in 

 length, with a broadly expanded stigma, which is quite bilabiate 

 and of a distinctly different form from that of the very remarkable 

 stigma, of BrowalUa, The pedicel and calyx do not sensibly en- 

 large in size ; the capsule, which is wholly inclosed within the 

 calyx, is quite smooth, but in other respects like that of BrowalUa 

 and Petunia*.

I have seen only a single and very meagre specimen of this 

 " small shrub," which has few flowers : the leaves are of the 

 same shape but somewhat smaller than in the foregoing species, 

 much smoother and of a lighter colour ; the flower is about the 

 size of that of S. Jamesoni ; the calyx is however larger, wider 

 with much broader and more obtuse segments ; it increases some- 

 what in fruit to a length of 6 hnes and a diameter of nearly 3 

 lines, and conceals the capsule, which is about 3 hnes long ; it has 

 four thick coriaceous valves, is seated upon its stipitate support, 

 and encircled at base by the induvial remains of the corolla.
