Var. 8, LATIFLORA : flowers rather larger, 14-1} lines long, 
petals spreading, scales often larger, styles longer; fruit not 
seen. Some of Peppig’s plants approach the original spe- 
cimens by their small flowers and crenulate lacinie. 
** Flowers pedicelled, disposed in rather loose paniculate cymes, which 
often at last become crowded ; withered corolla usually enveloping the 
capsule or covering its top, in the three last species investing only its base. 
+ Lobes of corolla acute or rarely obtuse, inflexed or corniculate at the 
apex. 
50. C, pEcora, Choisy, under the name of indecora ; 
Choisy saw only a very poor blackened specimen, such as 
long, obliquely ovate, rostrate, rough, with a yery short, ob- 
long, transverse hilum. The following varieties may be dis- 
inguished.
