114 STUDIES IN INDIAN TOBACCOS. 



white ; length about 45 mm. Calyx globular, inflated, less than 

 one-third the length of the corolla ; teeth short and acute. 

 Corolla with a wide orifice 11 mm. in diameter and a very broad 

 tube, the transition between the tube and the dilated 

 portion very abrupt ; limb entire but indented and somewhat 

 folded at the junctions of the lobes ; apical points very short. 

 Capsule longer than the persistent calyx, conical ; apex pointed. 



In the bud before the corolla expands the anthers are found 

 just above the stigma and burst while in this position before the 

 bud opens. In the fully open flower the burst anthers are 

 about 5 mm. above the stigma and project from the orifice of the 

 corolla. 



This type has an exceedingly good texture, the leaves are 

 much thinner than in the ordinary Indian tobaccos. It has the 

 great disadvantage, however, that the leaves are much exposed 

 to the wind and do not protect each other as in the more bushy 

 types. For this reason they are often badly torn before they 

 ripen.
