Gen. Char. Calyx (fig. 1.) monosepalous (of 1 sepal), inferior, 
somewhat bell-shaped, a little unequal, tumid at the base, the limb 
deeply divided into 5 pointed segments. Corolla (fisj. 2.) mono- 
petalous (of 1 petal), ringent (gaping) ; lube cylindrical, short, 
curved upwards ; upper lip apparently wanting, being divided to 
the very base into 2 distant, egg-shaped, oblong, ascending, lateral 
lobes ; lower lip spreading, 3-lobed, the central lobe the largest, 
flat or concave, undivided or cloven. Filaments (fig. 3.) 4, 2 longer 
than the other 2 (didynamous) , awl-shaped, much longer than the 
upper lip of the corolla, and projecting between its segments, as- 
cending, incurved. Germen (fig. 4.) superior, 4-cleft. Style (fig. 4.) 
incurved. Stic/ma in 2 pointed, spreading segments. Seeds 4, 
oblong, rounded, wrinkled, in the bottom of the permanent calyx. 
The upper lip of the corolla, in two very deep, remote, lateral 
lobes, will distinguish this from other genera with a nearly regular, 
5-cleft calyx, in the same class and order.
