brancheB below the leaves, in the axils of cicatrices ; in drooping feW-flbwered racemes 

 or panicles 2*5-4 in. long; peduncles glabrous as are the slender pedicels 'b-'l 

 in. long, bracts very minute and fugacious. Caiya? brownish-red, carapannlate, tube 

 very short '1 in. long, lobes 5, lanceolate acute *5 in. long ; finely pnberulons. Stamens 

 about 5, united in an erect crenate colnmn, about '2 in. long ; anthers 2-celled. 

 Ovary 4-5-celled, ovales many. Fruit of 4-5 purplish red or scarlet follicles, 4-5 in. 

 long, 1*5 in. wide. Seeds ovoid, '8 in. long '5 in. across, testa blue. 



Osmaston gives the vernacular name as Ghiuri pat. The species is nearly 

 related to 8. coccinea which is however easily distinguished by its narrower pilose 

 calyx-segments. It is also closely related to 8. laevis Wall., but is again very distinct 

 because the calyx-lobes are not bearded within. It has been sometimes confused 

 with S. Boxhurghii which haa however much smaller flowers.
