and reticulate veins. Panicle terminal, much-branched, 

 spreading, many-flowered. Peduncles, pedicels, and calyces 

 ferruginous, densely villous with stellated hairs. The Jloivers 

 smaller than those of L. Regince, but more numerous, and in 

 much larger panicles, pale rose-coloured on first expansion, 

 and passing through various gradations of intensity till they 

 become at last nearly purple. Calyx covered with ferru- 

 ginous wool, turbinate, regularly marked with many deep 

 longitudinal furrows or ribs, giving it a fluted appearance; 

 limb spreading, 6-parted. Before expansion, the calyx is 

 obconical, and nearly flat at top. 'Corolla 6-petaled, spread- 

 ing; petals inserted by short ungues alternately with the 

 segments of the calyx, ovate, not much undulated. Stamens 

 red, numerous, inserted on the calyx, 6 longer, thicker and 

 more conspicuous than the rest. Ovary thickly clothed with 

 white hair, 6-celled, many-seeded. Style erect. Stigma clavate. 

 Obs. This beautiful and splendid species may be readily 

 known from L. Regince by the greater size of its panicles 

 and their ferruginous colour. The flower-buds in that 

 species represent somewhat a double cone, in this a sinole 

 inverted cone, being flat and even depressed at top. L. hir- 

 suta. Lam. is also quite distinct, having hirsute leaves.
