ALABASTRA DIVERSA 307 



antherarum loculi oblongi, utrinque obtusi, 4 mm. long, Stami- 

 nodia segre 2-5 mm. long., pubescentia apice glabra. Ovarium 

 oblongo-ovoideum, vix 3 mm. long. Stylus glaber, circa 3 mm. 

 long. Capsula 2 cm. long. ; semina duo 5 mm. diam., duo 3 mm. ; 

 retinacula superne incurvo-rostrata, acuminata. 



Distinguished from B. violascens S. Moore by the indumentum, 

 the anticous segment of the calyx toothed only instead of being 

 markedly 2-lobed, the acute not acuminate lateral segments of the 

 calyx, the larger corolla white throughout with larger anthers, &c. 



The dimensions of the calyx-segments above given are those 

 of no. 4251 ; the other specimens have these organs somewhat 

 smaller.

Folia summum 11 x aegre 4 cm., modica 8-9 x 2-5-3 cm., in 

 sicco glauco-virentia, pag. sup. fusciora. Inflorescentia corollis 

 exemptis 5-6 x 5 cm. Bracteolae 28-30 mm. long. Flores albi. 

 Calycis segmentum posticum usque ad 33 x 17 mm. ; anticum 

 30 X 18 mm. ; segmenta lateralia 12 mm. long. Corolla tota 

 circa 4 cm. long. ; tubus 17 mm. long., inferne 5 mm. superne 

 10 mm. lat. ; lobi circa 25 mm. long., summum fere 20 mm. lat, 

 Filamenta crassa, 9 mm. long. ; antherarum loculi oblongi, obtusi, 

 3-5 mm. long. Ovarium 4 mm., stylus 19 mm. long. Capsula 

 18 mm. long., rostrum solum 7 mm. 



Nearest B. Wehvitschii S. Moore, and much like it in habit 

 and foliage. The much larger bracteoles, calyx-segments, and 

 corolla afford an easy means of distinguishing it.
