surface mat not glossy, olivaceous, midrib grooved the 

 groove more or less filled with withered greasy hairs and 

 glands, primary veins about 16 pairs not prominent, sur- 

 face elsewhere flat and at first glance very glabrous but 

 minutely punctulate bj^ the red bases of glands or floccose 

 hairs, some setiform glands may be seen about the 

 midrib towards the base ; under surface tawny somewhat 

 glossy the midrib and primary veins raised and reddening 

 covered throughout by red setiform glands and greasy 

 white or red floccose hairs or by their vestiges, network 

 of the ultimate veins slightly conspicuous and sparingly 

 punctulate; petiole reaching 1'5 cm. in length thick, clad 

 throughout with long red glandular blackening setae. 

 Flowers shortly racemose-umbellate about 8 in each 

 terminal truss, axis of inflorescence about 1 cm. long 

 glandular setose ; sterile bracts rounded crustaceously 

 coriaceous, more or less sericeo-puberulous inside, thinner 

 at the margin, fertile bracts broadly obovate about 2 cm. 

 long 1 cm. broad, outside and inside sericeous eglandular, 

 margin and apex fimbriate with red hairs ; bracteoles linear 

 almost equalling the pedicels one-nerved with adpressed 

 long hairs ; pedicels reaching 2 cm. long thick, oblique under 

 the flower, very densely gland-setose the glands having red 

 stalks some long some short. Calyx small about 2 mm. 

 long cupular iiosliy, the cup densely gland-setose with red 

 glands, lobes deltoid purple glabrous. Corolla purple-rose 

 openly campanulate about 3'8 cm. long, glabrous both out- 

 side and inside marked at the base inside by a crimson

 sul)crenulate. Stamens 10 unetjual, the longest about 8 cm. 

 long the shortest about r5 cm. long; anthers 4 nun. long 

 brown ; filaments widening to the base and from tliere to 

 the top of the ovary puberulous. Disk whitoly pubescent, 

 Gynaeceum a])Out 38 cm. long ; ovary about 5 mm. long 

 cylindric dee])ly grooved blackening covered with many red 

 loDg-stalked setulosc glands and with a smaller number of 

 long setae (as much as 4 mm. long) which are sebaceous
