 ceous; corolla an inch long, funnelform to salverform, orange 

 colored, tube slender, thrice the calyx; stamens inserted some- 

 what irregularly above the middle of the tube, of unequal length, 

 some included, others exserted; anthers small, round, blue; 

 capsule equalling the calyx tube in length but not distending it,
