similar to the leaves in consistence. Calyx of 5 leaflets: these are somewhat imbricated, erect, 
oval, often ahghtly crenulated towards the top which is rather tumid, quite smooth, nearly equal 
in size, persistent. Corolla white, fully 3 lines in length : Tube bowl-shaped : Limb slightly recurv- 
ed, divided to she base into 5 obovate very entire obtuse flattish divisions : smooth on both surfaces, 
eciduous. Filaments 5, white, terminating the tube between the divisons of the limb, broad, short, 
erect, eee narrower towards the top, quite smooth, hollowish. Anthers yellow, confluefit with 
the filaments, re use, didymous: lobes oblique, elliptical, 1-locular, 2-valved, splitting nis qa 
not much svasiid after the pollen is discharged. Pollen yellow. Peric carpium green e young 
hollow within the surrounding Torus upon which the calyx and corolla are inserted so as pa to be 
quite superior, almost globular, 3-celled: when fully grown oval, splitting in the middle of the 
cells: Cola, or receptacles of the seeds, retuse. Style pale yellow, reaching to about the height of
