lobe is a little shorter, the two lower lobes are a trifle the longest 

 of all, and upon this side are placed the two longer stamens, 

 which are nearly the length of the tube, with a short rudimentary 

 filament betw^een them; the stamens are quite glabrous; the 

 anthers are 2-lobed, bursting extrorsely.

This species is very distinct from the former, its perfectly' 

 glabrous leaves being narrower_, more thick and fleshy than in 

 the former species; they are 1^ inch Jong, 4 to 6 lines broad. 

 The young axillary branchlets are floriferous^ producing fresh 

 flowers as they become elongated^ from 6 lines or an inch in 



fruit

lines in length, becoming thickened in fruit, and 6 lines long ; 

 the calyx, 3 lines in length (including the linear fleshy segments 

 of 2 lines), is 5-keeled; the corolla is 8-9 lines in length, of a 

 sulphur-yellow colour, smooth outside; the tube is 3 lines long, 

 sparsely clothed inside with pulverulent glandular down, the seg- 

 ments of the border are very narrow and acute, 5-6 lines in 

 length, expanded, each with a rounded intervening sinus: the 

 capsule, somewhat rostrated, supported by the persistent calyx, 

 is 4-7 lines long, and contains numerous oblong seeds ; it is 2- 

 valved, somewhat fleshy, the valves being thick and coriaceous, 

 completely septicidal below, and introflexed on their margins 

 above, the placentiferous column, which is adnate below, free 

 above, and split at its apex, remaining in the central space; the 

 seeds ai-e small and deeply scrobiculate ; the embryo as above 

 described,
