 motely shallowly serrate, base cuneate or rounded ; petiole 0-§- in. Peduncle ^| in., 

 densely covered with bracts ; pedicels ^-1 in. ; bracts ^iu., lanceolate. Corolla slightly 

 wider in the middle, vermilion (Griffith), no transverse bars visible in the dried 

 plants nor suggested in Griffith's picture ; lobes J in., triangular. Fruit not seen.

Khasia Mts., Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3476).

 linear. Corolla tubular, 5-angled, red, with transverse V-shaped bars ; lobes ^-J in. ; 

 triangular. Fruit not seen. — This seems closely allied to A. miniata, but the petioles,

 I in. ; apex conspicuously cupped ; bracts i in. ; corymb erect, lax, whole height

 pedicel ; bracts ^ in. Corolla cylindric, slightly campanulate upwards, bright red, 

 transverse bars very obscure in the dried examples ; teeth ^-J in., triangular. Fruit 

 not seen. — Nffar A. salicifolia (n. 6), but the leaves are distinctly petioled and wider, 

 the pedicels longer, the flowers larger.
