112 ILLUSTRATIONS OF 
the tube of the corolla is nearly cylindrical, 5 lines long, 
yellow, and marked outside with 5 purplish lines, the border 
is cleft into 5 rather equal roundish segments, each with a 
purplish central line and a mucronulate apex, it is of a lilac 
colour, and somewhat oblique, the upper lobe being more erect, 
and the lower ones somewhat more reflected, the throat, of a 
deep lilac hue, is compressed and hollowed imward on the front 
side, in a somewhat personate form ; the stamens are unequal, 
the 5 filaments arising from the contraction above the base 
of the tube, are white and compressed, the short sterile 
stamen is seen below the ringent compression of the tube, 
between the front and longer pair, while the upper pair is 
somewhat shorter, the fertile anthers, which approach each 
other by the inflection of the filaments, are 2-celled, ovate, 
the 5th sterile one being smaller, erect and castrate. The 
evarium is oblong and ‘smooth, 2-celled, laterally grooved on 
each side, and seated on a somewhat 2-lobed, annular, fleshy 
disc, the lobes corresponding with the grooves and the 
edges of the dissepiment; the style is slender, greenish, 
2-grooved and compressed at the summit, where it is de- 
flected towards the upper pair of anthersin the mouth of the 
tube, the stigma is somewhat clavate, or rather 2-labiate, 
with a thin expanded margin, enclosing 2 large papillose 
viscid glands. The capsule is small, obovate, smooth, en- 
elosed within the persistent calyx, 2-celled, 2-valved, with a 
notch in the apex of each valve, where it splits half way 
down by pressure, The seeds are attached by a point on 
their ventral face to the thickened portion of the dissepiment 
that becomes free and is parallel with the valves : they are 
numerous, light brown, and oval, the surface being divided 
into rather large, deep areoles, separated by straight prominent 
ridges. The embryo is cylindrical, slightly curved, the radicle 
is somewhat thick in proportion to its length, the cotyledons, 
scarcely broader than the radicle and half its length, are some- 
what compressed and ovate.*
