Perennial, 10-55 cm. in height ; rhizome short or narrow. Stem very 

 slender, weak, subflexuous, glabrous, ramose into flowering branches above 

 or simple and uniflorous in depauperated state. Leaves loose, sparse, short- 

 ly petiolate, membranaceous, thinly puberulent towards the margin above, 

 glabrous beneath, linear, but lato-linear in the ]ower ones and angustato- 

 linear in the superior ones, long-acuminate, attenuated below, apartly ser- 

 rulate, 3-J-16 cm. long, 2-10 mm. broad, the primordial ones long-petiolate, 

 orbicular to lanceolate, dentato-serrate or duplicately serrato-dentate, obtuse 

 or acute at the apex. Flowering branches short, capillary, glabrous, very 

 loosely 1-3-flowered ; bracts small, filiform, glabrous, 1-12 mm. long. Flower 

 cernuous, pedicellate ; pedicel capillary, usually longer or sometimes shorter 

 than the flower, glabrous. Calyx-lobes spreading, filiform," suboallose- 

 tipped, pauci-serrulate, glabrous, green, 4-10 mm. long. Corolla cam- 

 panulate, about 21cm. long, about 1-Jcm. across in the middle part, 

 glabrous, 5— fid, violaceo-camileous ; segment ovato-deltoid, mucronato-acute, 

 about -J as long as the tube. Stamens 5, included, much shorter than 

 the style, about 10 mm. long ; filament filiform and nearly glabrous, but 

 the lower portion much dilated ovato-lanceolate densely ciliated and shorter 

 than the filiform portion ; anther linear, 4 mm. long. Style included 

 but a little longer than the corolla-tube, puberulent above ; stigma 3-fid, 

 arms patent-recurved, narrowly oblong, obtuse, pubescent dorsally but dense- 

 ly and minutely papilloso-pubescent on face. Disk conspicuous, tubuloso- 

 cupuliform, erect, thick, 1 mm. long, orange-coloured. Ovary shortly ob- 

 conical, glabrous, green, 3 mm. long, 3-celled, with thin carpel and many 

 oblong ovules.
