This is very similar in floral structure to T. JJ-- u "7/ la ■ > M. T. 

 Mast., figured on tab. 1484 of this work. But, besides the difference 

 in the leaves, the flowers are larger and the tube of the outer corona 

 longer in proportion to the fimbria?. The very distinct though short 

 ring which surrounds the staminal tube (and which is also present in 

 T. Eanningtoniana) is here regarded as the inner corona. — H. Bolus.
