PALMERELLA: Calyx 5-parted 

 down to the turbinate tube, which is 

 wholly adnate to the ovary; the lobes 

 s'enderly linear-subulate. Corora with 

 its long- and straight narrow-cy.indvi- 

 cal tube, entire (at least the upper 

 part), not at all dilated at the throat; 

 the short lobes abruptly spreading; 2 

 smaller distinct, spatulate-linear and 

 turned backwards; the other 3 oblong, 

 united at the very base. Filaments 

 (more or less) adnate to near the 

 throat or the upper part of the tube of 

 the coro:la, then free or further adnate 

 to one side, and monadelphous: anthers 

 oblong-, united. 3 of them naked, 2 tip- 

 ped with a small tuft of very unequal 

 rigid bristles. Stigma, ovary, and ap- 

 parently capsule of Lobelia, of which 

 the plant has the habit, except in the 

 remarkably long tube of the corolla.
