Allied to H, olenotriclia Hiern, from which it differs especially 

 in the relative lengths of corolla-tube and limb-diameter, and in the 

 leaf-apex. 



Leaves about 10 cm. X 5 cm., with petiole not more than 7 mm. 

 long ; stipules 8-9 mm. long and 2-3 mm. broad at base. Thyrsus 

 about 16 cm. long, measuring from the last foliage-leaf, and 14-

No. 1197. Like its ally F. hispida Hiern, from which it differs 

 in the structure and indumentum of the corolla, this species bears some 

 resemblance to some species of Pavetta. Leaves 10-12 cm. X 5-7 cm., 

 witli petiole ±8 mm. long ; stipules, the ovate basal j)ai't about 



5 mm. long, the seta 1 cm. or longer. Primary peduncles (3 in each 

 inflorescence), ±1*2 cm. long. Bracts, from the constricted base to 

 tip of lateral lobes, 3 mm. ; total length, from base to tip of median 

 lobe, 1 cm. ; pedicel about "5 mm. long, bearing 3 hracteoles, each 



6 mm. long, and passing into a pyriform ovary 1 mm. in height. 

 Calyx-inhe "4 mm., lobes 1 mm. long. Corolla-iuhe 1"4 mm., lobes 

 6 mm. long. Filaments exserted 1 mm., anthers 4 mm. long. Style 

 exserted about 9 mm.
