corollse tubo calyce longiore, lobis ovalibus, imo auriculatis; 

 filamentis medio tubi insertis, parce scabridule pilosulis, 

 exsertis ; antheris coriaceis, fuscis, rugosis, submucronatis, 

 oscillatoriis ; stylo pro tertia parte bifido. — In Antillis : v. s. 

 in herb. Hook., Jamaica (Dr. Alex. Prior). 



The branches are 1 or 2 lines in thickness, their axils are 

 -|-f inch apart ; the leaves are 3 j-3f inches long, 2 inches 

 broad, on a petiole 5-10 lines long. The terminal, very- 

 spreading panicle is 5 inches long (including the peduncle of 

 If inches) and equal in breadth: the flowers are in bud, the
