196 REPORT ON THE PLANTS 
cirrhously conjugate, and they are generally clothed with a soft retrorse 
pubescence. The inflorescence is panieulate and terminal in each of 
the upper branchlets, so that a branch thus forms a large pyramidal 
mass of handsome flowers, which, before expansion, are covered with a 
white tomentum, in form of a cap, as in Petastoma. The calyx 1s 
tubular, thick, somewhat cupular at base, generaliy with a glabrous 
membranaceous border, which is irregularly toothed, or erosely divided 
into short segments, The corolla is of a rich purple or rose colour, and 
sometimes ornamented inside with darker spotted bands; it is narrowly 
contracted at its base for nearly half the length of the tube, which 18. 
then suddenly expanded into a somewhat campanular form, a little 
ventricose on the side facing the axis of the inflorescence, and it has on 
the opposite side 2 long plicatures (as in Cydista), forming an elongated 
palate within the mouth of the tube; the border is somewhat bilabiate, 
one lip being divided nearly to its base into 3 oblong rounded lobes ; 
the other, not so deeply cleft, into 2 lobes. The capsule is silique- 
shaped; the seeds, uniserial on each margin of the dissepiment, have 
a broad hyaline wing, and a longitudinal hilum on one edge. The 
species are— т кез
