is strongly reflexed almost to the base ; the white field is shaded 

 from light rose to begonia rose and more deeply colored with 

 carmine. There is a green stripe at the base of each segment 

 forming a star in the throat of the flower, and it has many conspic- 

 uous papillae, longer at the throat. The white filaments are grace- 

 fully recurving, with garnet brown anthers, and the green pistil 

 is also curved. The capsule is oblong, slightly ridged and with a 

 broad flat apex; large capsules are frequently three inches long 

 and one inch or more in diameter.
