 motely shallowly serrate, base cuneate or rounded ; petiole 0- in. Peduncle ^-\ in., 

 densely covered with bracts; pedicels -1 in. ; bracts in., lanceolate. Corolla slightly 

 wider in the middle, vermilion (Griffith), no transverse bars visible in the dried 

 plants nor suggested in Griffith's picture ; lobes in., triangular. Fruit not seen. 



8. A. macrophylla, Clarke ; leaves petioled broadly lanceolate, corymbs 

 glabrous, calyx-teeth ^ in. narrowly lanceolate, corolla 1 in. 



KHASIA MTS., Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3476). 



Branches thick, rounded, smooth. Leaves 11 by 3^ in., acuminate, cuneate or

 exceedingly thick. Peduncle -2 in. ; pedicels -l in. ; bracts \ in., lanceolate- 

 linear. Corolla tubular, 5-angled, red, with transverse V-shaped bars ; lobes - in. ; 

 triangular. Fruit not seen. This seems closely allied to A. mmiata, but the petioles,

 on the upper surface ; petiole j in. Peduncle from below the leaves l in. ; pedicels 

 1 in. ; apex conspicuously cupped ; bracts ~j in. ; corymb erect, lax, whole height 

 4 in. Corolla narrowly tubular, straight ; lobes \ in., linear-lanceolate (appears in
