No. 1209. '* Climbing shrub ; swamp. Corolla purplish-red, 

 darkest inside." 



Allied apparently to A. Millenii, this species is characterized by 

 the narrow leaves, with truncate or subcordate base, the colour and 

 size of the flowers, and the habitat. Leaves 9-12 cm. X 3-5 cm., with 

 stalk barely 8 mm. at longest ; stipules about 1 cm. long at the time 

 of fall. The calyx-iwhe forms a shallow basin about 3 mm. in depth, 

 and nearly 1*5 cm. in diameter just below the lobes, which are I'o cm. 

 long by 8 mm. wide. Corolla-t\x\>Q 3-5 cm. deep, and over 2-5 cm. 

 wide at the mouth ; lobes about 1 cm. long- and the same in width at 

 the middle. Ovary nearly 1 cm. long.

 characters of leaf and petiole. Leaves ^11-14 cm. X 6*3-8 cm., the 

 stalk not longer than 1*5 cm. ; stipules barely 15 cm. long, 5 mm. 

 broad. The bracteolar involucel, which encloses the short pedicel, 

 does not exceed 5 or 6 mm. in depth. Ovary 5-7 mm. long, widened 

 gradually from the base to 4-6 mm. at the well-marked junction with 

 the tube of the calyx; the latter is but 5 mm. deep, and nearly 

 1*5 cm. in diameter at the base of the lobes, which are 1'3 cm. long
