lightly channeled, on the upper surface, the principal veins 
about 13 to 15 on each side, lightly falcate and anastomosing 
close to the margin. icle terminal, stoutly peduncled,

cending, densely flowered, the flowers sessile, 4 cm. long. C 
2-bracted, the bracts broadly ovate, nearly as long as the calyx, 
which is 12 mm. long, and strongly 10-nerved, divided nearly 
to the'base, the larger lobes ovate, acute, the 3 smaller lance- 
olate, acute, all of about the same length. Upper lip of corolla 
about 13 mm. long, erect, entire, obtuse, the lower slightly 
longer, strongly recurved, its middle lobe about 12 mm. lon 
and about half as broad, with rounded summit, the lateral a 
shorter than the stamens. Disk annular, much thickened, 2

the bracts minute, subulate. Calyx 10 mm. long, the lobes 
lanceolate, acuminate, acutish. Corolla-tube 15 mm. long, 
nearly straight, dilating very near the summit, the lobes partially 
destroyed by insects in my specimen. The short stamens 
equalling the corolla tube, the longer ones exserted, the lower 
anther cell with about two-thirds of its length below the base of 
the upper, which is short mucronate. Style not equalling the 
longer stamens, stout, sharply declined above.
