 afterward glabrous dark-colouied and striate. Leaves membranous, 

 elliptic, rarely elliptic-oblong, slightly unequilateral, shortly caudate-

 rous ; pedicels 'S in. long, clustei'cd near the apex, bracteolate above 

 the middle. Flowers "5 in long. Sepals smaller than the outer petals, 

 spreading, dotted, conjoined at the base, slightly tubercular outside,

 recurved. Staminodes 0. Stamens 12, in 2 rows ; the connective rather 

 narrow, prolonged beyond the apices of the large, broad, dorsal anthers.
