 papillose within, cream-coloured, lobes spreading, subacute. Coronal-processes white,

Stem slender. Leaves often subfascicled, 1-1^- in. broad, very variable, acute at

 glabrous. Corolla ^-\ in. diam., pale straw-coloured ; lobes broad acute. Coronal- 

 processes ovate, obtuse, broader end inwards, concave above, inner angle cuspidate. 

 Follicles 5-6 in., very slender, curved, pericarp thin. The arching nerves, flat leaf- 

 margins and large corona distinguish this from H. Wightii.
