I have already described in the eee page the peculiar 
habit of this species ; the leaves are 14 inch long, 8 lines broad, 
on a narrow channeled petiole of 4 (apse above they are deeply 
furrowed at the nervures with prominent reticulate veins, hispidly 
pubescent below, scabrido-hispid above, of a very dark green 
colour, opake and brittle when dried; the peduncles are 4 “lines 
long ; the calyx of equal length is 13 ‘line in diameter, somewhat 
contracted in the middle, 8 Almas lanceolate acute erect teeth ; 
the corolla is 1 inch in length, the tube at base only a line in dia- 
meter, swelling to a dimaeten of 4 lines at the mouth, the border 
being about 8 lines in diameter ; externally it is softly pubescent 
and almost smooth within. The lower pair of stamens have their 
origin somewhat fornicated, about 2 lines above the base of the 
tube, opposite the reflexed broader lobe of the border, are about 
6 lines in length, quite smooth at base, minutely pubescent 
above; the upper shorter pair are inserted at 7 lines from the 
base and below the mouth of the tube, which is here slightly 
pubescent ; they are all stiff and rigid, and want that peculiar 
arching expansion with long glandular hairs that forms so pecu- 
liar a character in Browallia. The style is about 7 lines in 
length, with a broadly expanded stigma, which is quite bilabiate 
and of a distinctly different form from that of the very remarkable 
stigma of Browallia. The pedicel and calyx do not sensibly en- 
large im size; the capsule, which is wholly inclosed within the 
calyx, is quite smooth, but in other respects like that of Browallia 
and Petunia*. 
* This species will be figured in plate 55 of the ‘ Ill. South Amer. Plants.’
