 Filaments much exserted, glandular-hairy. Capsule 8 by in. Seed ^ in., oblong,

Sect. 2. Diplotrichium. Seeds with two hairs near the hilum, one at 

 the npex. Seeds in n. 2 unknown, in nn. 3, 7 require verification : nn. 4, 



5, 6 are perhaps but one species.

Glabrous except the inflorescence. Branches very thick. Leaves 5 by 1 in., acute ; 

 petiole j|-^ in., very thick. Pedicels ^ in., nearly glabrous. Calyx narrowly tubular ; 

 teeth -13- 1- in., triangular. Corolla narrow tubular-funnel-shaped, scarlet, mouth 

 orange purple-marked. Filaments far exserted, nearly glabrous. Seeds unknown. 

 Broun assumed the seed to har but one hair at the hilar end, and placed this 

 species (doubtfully) in sect. Solocalt/x, which the inflorescence and stout stem do 

 not suit. 



3. IE. Hookeri, Clarke ; glabrous except the corolla, leaves lanceolate, 

 pedicels terminal umbelled, calyx tubular scarlet very shortly obtusely lobed.

Stem branched, terete. Leaves 3| by 1 in., acuminate, base cuneate, fleshy, mid- 

 rib beneath broad, nerves obscure ; petiole ^ in. Pedicels 3-8, g in. ; bracts \ in., 

 narrowly oblong ; branch after flowering often growing on through the umbel. 

 Calyx-tube nearly 5 in., teeth |-^ in. Corolla more than 1 in., curved, hairy with- 

 out, orange-red, the lobes orange black-spotted. Filaments far exserted, glandular- 

 hairy ; anthers in., narrowly oblong. Ovary glabrous ; style glandular-hairy. 

 Capsule and seeds not now at hand ; but the species seems very near J2. grandiflora, 

 and (it is believed) was ascertained to belong to sect. Diplotrichium.

Stem terete, branched. Leaves 4 by 1 in., narrowed at both ends, often sinuate;

 Calyx herbaceous; lobes variable, sometimes very short obtuse as in Roxburgh's type,
