This species, which is widely disseminated throughout 
tropical South America, is considered by Schlechtendahl and 
others as identical with the three following; but as it differs in 
many respects, I have kept it distinct. The leaves are more

The leaves are 54 in. long and 14 in. broad, on a petiole 1 in. long, with 
many divergent parallel veins. The stalk of the umbel does not exceed 
3 lin., the calyx 3 lin., on a pedicel of 9 lin. long ; the corolla seems of a 
crimson colour, the tube slightly curved, about 14 in, long and 4 lin. broad ; 
the filaments are adnate to the base of the corolla for the length of 6 lin. 
where they are tomentous; they then become free, are pubescent below, 
slender and glabrous upwards, and of a crimson colour; the anthers are 
half exserted.
