Whole plant yellow. Stem 3-6 in. long, thick, obtusely angled. Scales J in. 

 Mowers 8-12; pedicels J-J in., angular, thick j bracteoles below the middle about 

 J in. long, acute, veined, toothed at the tip. Oal^x f in. long. Corolla 1 J in. long, 

 funnel-shaped ; lobes rounded, quite entire. Placentas in Wight's drawing of 

 Camph. cytittoides nearly meeting in the axis of the ovary, the flat opposed faces with- 

 out ovules. — Gardner described C. unicolor from a drawing of which I have seen no 

 copy. Except in the subexserted anthers and obtusely 5-lobed calyx, I do not see how 

 it differs by his description from C. neilgherrica. A drawing sent by Thwaites of 

 the plant he refers to C. unicolor has acute calyx-teeth. In Wight's Campb. 

 aurantiaca (referred here by Clarke) the corolla is represented as hairy on both 

 surfaces, as are the filament and style ; and the anthers are exserted ovate acute, and 

 2-celled. In Jiis Camph. oytinoides the anthers are also exserted ovate and acute, but 

 1-celIed. I find the corolla in Wight's specimens to be either perfectly glabrous or 

 pubescent, and the anthers to be ovoid acute 1-celled.

 glabrous, stem slender few-fld., scales few ovate acute, calyx 5-angled 

 narrow, lobes acute, corolla witli the upper lip blood-red, lower rose- 

 coloured, throat yellow, filaments glabrous. Thwaites JEnum. 222.

Stems more slender than in any of the preceding, 2-4 in. high. Scales about \ in. 

 Calyx J in. long. Corolla 2^ in. long, lobes denticulate. Stigma with the large lobe 

 orbicular. Placentas 2-partite, cordate in section, covered all over with ovules. — A 

 coloured figure apparently of this species in Jerdon's collection of drawings represents 

 the corolla as 3 in. long, with a violet upper Up, and pale rose lower one ; the calyx 

 pedicels and bracts are red-brown. 



Tab. grandiflora ; corolla larger pale rose-coloured. C. grandiflora, Gardn. I. u. 

 155; Thwaites I.e. 221.— Ceylon; Adam's Peak, 'alt. 5000 ft., Gardner. Gardner 

 gives no other characters but greater size and a uniform rose colour of the flower, 

 whereby to distinguish this from C. tricolor; for that of the sterile cell of tjie 

 anther being ascending (and not deflexed) is, as Thwaites' (who suggests grandiflora 

 being a variety), a fallacious one.

 the other species. Caiyx ^ in. long, pubescent, lobes very short, erose. Corolla
