Sect. 2. Diplotrichium. Seeds witli two tairs near the hilum, one at 

 the apex. — Seeds in n. 2 unknown, in nn. 3, 7 require verification : nn. 4, 

 6, 6 are perhaps but one species.

Glabrous except the inflorescence. Branches very thick. Leaves 5 by 1 in., acute j 

 petiole J-4 in., very thick. Pedicels ^ in., nearly glabrous. CoZ^ii; narrowly tubular; 

 teeth T^-^ in., triangular. Corolla narrow tubular-funnel-shaped, scarlet, mouth 

 orange purple-marked. Filaments far exserted, nearly glabrous. Seeds unknown. — 

 Brown assumed the seed to har= but one hair at the hilar end, and placed this 

 species (doubtfully) in sect. Solocalyx, which the inflorescence and stout stem do 

 not suit.

 Capsule and seeds not now at hand ; but the species seems very near ^. grandiflora, 

 and (it is believed) was ascertained to belong to sect. Diplotrichium.

 Calyx herbaceous ; lobes variable, sometimes very short obtuse as in Roxburgh's type,
