very fleshy, lightly triquetrous, narrowed from about the 
middle into a slender suleate petiole. Peduncles one or 
two in the axil of the leaf, up to 8 cm. long including 
the raceme,emerging from a scarious conduplicate sheath, 
bearing about two tubular bracts below the lowermost 
flower. Raceme 1.5-2 em. long, loosely flowered. Bracts 
of the raceme about 2 mm. apart, infundibuliform, 0.5
