Mr. J. Miers on the genus J vanulloa. 189 
The leaves of this plant are described by Schlechtendal as being 
from 4 to 6 inches long and from 2 to 3 inches broad, upon a 
very short petiole of only 3 or 6 lines in length; the calyx is 
14 inch long, increasing to 1} inch; the corolla i is a inch long, 
the filaments beng 9 lines and the anthers 5 lines in length. 
Linden’s plant above quoted, I have presumed to be the same 
species : here the leaves are thick and coriaceous, quite smooth 
above, clothed below with yellowish stellate down; they are broadly 
ovate, shortly and suddenly attenuated at the obtuse emargimated 
apex, 51 inches long, 33 inches broad, on a thick channeled pe- 
tiole of 3 to $= inch in length ; the imflorescence is much longer 
than in any other species, each dichotomous branch forming a 
distinct raceme of 42 inches in length, bearing the articulations 
of several flowers towards their apex, which have all fallen off.

The leaves of this species are 53 inches long, 22 inches broad, 
on a petiole of 3 to $ mch in length ; the terminal inflorescence 
branches into two or three very short few-flowered racemes, the 
pedicels being 2 lines in length ; the thick fleshy sepals are of an 
orange colour, 14 to 13 inch long, ¢ inch broad, forming by their 
connivent edges a ‘long and somewhat ventricose pentangular ae 
the angles appearing in some degree winged and undulating 
the tube of the corolla is 13 inch long, 4 lines in diameter, very 
thick and fleshy, of a deep orange colour, externally clothed with 
fine floccose down, and smooth within, the segments of the bor- 
der being rounded, barely 3 lines long, and 2} lines broad; the 
stamens are fixed in the contracted portion of the tube, 3 lines 
above the base, and are pilose at their origin, quite smooth and 
terete above, erect, 11 lines long; the anthers, with somewhat 
mucronate apex, are 4: lines loxg, 1 line broad, adnate to a linear 
dorsal connective continuous with the filament ; the ovarium is 
conical, seated upon a thick fleshy five-lobed gland, with emar-
