This is easily distinguished by the glabrous leaves, many-flowered 

 cymes, and the large corolla. 'Mrs. Talbot gives close details of 

 colour: the body of the tube is cream-yellow; the lobes have dark- 

 jjuri)lish to black s})ots. The calyx is' '• bronzy green, with greyish 

 'silk\" The "centre" (stigma and style) is' cieam-colomed, with 

 dark red lines. Leaves 12 cm. x 5 cm.-17 cm. X 8 cm.; petiole to 

 1 -5 cm., or rather longer ; stipules attain about I'O cm. X '5 cm. before 

 falling. The strongly-ribbed ovary is mm. long in the mature flower ; 

 rr//yj--limb 9 mm. C'oro//w-tube*exserted about 2 cm. from calyx; 

 IcjU's ca. G mm.x5 mm. Fruit about 3-5 cm. long, 17 cm. in 

 diameter, crowned by calyx little, if at all, accrescent.
