Ceratostemma (?) spectabilis sp. nov. 
Pubescent throughout, including the outside of the corolla ; 
branches elongated, stout, densely leafy; petioles 2 mm. long, 
broad; blades 1.5—3 cm. long, 0.75-1 cm. broad, ovate, blunt, pale- 
ae obscurely 3-nerved, the midrib very prominent underneath, 
the venation indistinct ; flowers sees in the axils; bracts at the 
base the pedicels 3-5 m ong, ovate, acuminate and almost 
pungent; pedicels es cm. long, stoutish; calyx-tube 5 mm. 
long and broad, campanulate, purple-green, the lobes 5 mm. long, 
broadly ovate, abruptly and acutely short-pointed; corolla 3-4 cm. 
long, infundibular, deep scarlet-red, the lobes erect, 5 mm. long, 
triangular-ovate, acute; filaments 3 mm. long, pilose, flattened, 
lightly coherent at the base; anthers 5 mm. long, dark, the thecae 
spurred at the base, the spurs 1 mm. long, dilated and incurved, 
laterally compressed and sulcate, rounded and notched at the base; 
awns exceeding the corolla-tube, shorter than the lobes, bright- 
yellow, the upper eu a ; style about equaling the stamens; 
disk annular, adnate - long. (Vo. 2605.) 
This differs from ee genus to which it is referred in the form of 
the anther-spurs and especially in its axillary and solitary flowers, 
yet its affinities seem clearly to be here.
