8—15 cm. long, 2—6 cm. broad; midrib slender, raised on both 
surfaces ; main nerves 4—6 pairs, irregular, oblique, slightly raised 
above; reticulation also slightly raised when dry, areolate; petiole 
rather slender, 4—6 mm. Jong. Flowers in pairs in the excavations 
of a very short peduncle, each with an ovate-acute bract 2 mm. long 
at the base; bracteoles united in a thick cup 2—3 mm. long, cleft at 
the outer margin opposite the bract and embracing the base of the 
calyx-tube. Calyz-tube smooth, cylindric, the limb short, truncate. 
Corolla deep red, curved, narrowly tubular, inflated and boldly 
6-angled just under the limb, clavate in bud, 5 cm. long; lobes 6, 
twisted, reflexed, oblanceolate, 2 cm. long, thickened within in a

of a short thick axillary peduncle, each flower subtended by a broadly 
ovate horizontal bract 3°5 mm. long; bracteoles united in a thick

bract and embracing the calyx-tube; peduncle 3 mm. long, thick. 
Calyz-tube smooth, cylindric, 3—4 mm. long, the limb also cylindric,
