BALFOUR—NEW SPECIES OF RHODODENDRON. 85 
bases of fallen setulose gland-hairs from the primary veins, the 
under surface showing depressions beneath the glands of the 
upper side and traces of a few glands also; petiole about 
I-1.5 cm. long grooved above puberulous and gland-setulose. 
Flowers solitary axillary clustered at top of twigs each with 
its pedicel enclosed at base by the persistent bracts; flower- 
buds fusiform narrow-pointed about 6 mm. long and 2.5 mm. 
in diameter ; bracts crustaceous outside, and inside grey with 
silky pubescence, ciliate and with a few sessile marginal glands, 
outer bracts small broadly ovate or rounded keeled and mucro- 
nate 2-3 cm. long, inner oblong oval acute convolute about 1 cm. 
long and 4 mm. broad; bracteoles unknown; pedicels about 
I cm. long pubescent with short curved hairs and glandular the 
glands oblong red with long setulose stalks. Calyx membranous 
about 6 mm. long cut to near the base into 5 lobes; cup gland- 
ular and pubescent outside like the pedicels; lobes elliptic or 
oblong about 3 mm. broad obtuse or rounded at apex glabrous 
outside finely hair-ciliate. Corolla deep-rose with crimson spots 
on the back subrotate slightly oblique about 2 cm. long; tube 
somewhat thick slightly expanding upwards densely puberu- 
lous inside about 1 cm. long glabrous outside ; lobes 5 subequal 
(posterior a little larger) equalling in length or very slightly 
longer than tube, reflexing, posterior lobe about I cm. broad 
the others slightly narrower, emarginate slightly crenulate. 
Stamens 5 unequal shorter than corolla, 3 longer about 1.8 cm. 
long, 2 shorter about 1.4 cm., anther about 3 mm. long ; fila- 
ments widened to base, from the base to middle and beyond 
densely villous with long vesicular-pointed hairs many of them 
glandular. Disk glabrous. Gynaeceum about 2.2 cm. long 
slightly longer than corolla; ovary very small barely 2 mm. 
long dome-shaped grooved densely clad with ascending long- 
stalked very viscid glands; style glabrous thin not swollen 
below the discoid broader lobulate lipped stigma. Capsule 
shortly globular ovate about 6 mm. in diameter completely 
enclosed by the slightly accrescent calyx dark brown or black 
sticky with remains of ovary glands, splitting by 5 lobes to 
about middle. Seeds small about 1 mm. long brown-yellow 
fusiform or narrowly pyriform or curved and with the chalazal 
end sharply bent, without wing or other aril, only slightly 
fringed at funicular end. Seedling with red stem glandular- 
setose over a pubescence of short hook-hairs ; leaves not red 
on under surface, upper surface with pubescent midrib and 
scattered setulose glands over the surface each on a raised foot, 
under surface with depressions under the glands of upper 
surface, paler green with midrib similarly clothed and also a 
few setulose glands on midrib and primary veins.
