 2 oblanceolate, deciduous, *5 in. long, pedicels below bracteoles *3 in. 

 long. Calyx yellow at length becoming red, tube *8 iti. long, less than 

 twice as long as limb of 4 oblong sepals, *5 in. long. Petals 0. Stamens 

 4 with a rudimentary filament, the filaments slender throughout ; 

 anthers nearly twice as long as broad ; filaments twice as long as 

 sepals* Ovary stalked, puberulous along sutures, elsewhere glabrous,
