bud, e-striate, limb about one third of the length of the tube ; the lobes 

 6, linear, sub-spathulate, thickened at the tips, reflexed ; anther linear, 

 about half as long as the lobes, basifixed ; style filiform, as long as the 

 stamens ; stigma small, globular. 



Collected only once by the late Father Scortechini, the exact loca-

 corolla, which is moreover wider and of a different colour from that of 

 curvatus ; also with narrower and more irregularly disposed leaves than 

 in that species. Named after Mr. J. F. Duthie, Superintendent of the 

 Botanic Garden, Saharunpore.
