winged ; wings decurrent. FI. numerous opening 1-2 or 3 to- 
gether in succession scentless. Cal. like st. hr. and pedic. 
densely viscido-pubescent, the teeth short rather shallow acute, 
their points a little spreading. Cor. 1| in. long, oblageniform 
like a very long-necked inverted flask or bottle ; inflated upper

times the length of cal. pale gr., paler upwards; limb dull p. or

The damp air of Mad. is unfavourable for the manufacture of 
this pi. into tobacco &c. ; and indeed, even whilst growing, it is 
apt to be infested with mildew or Oidium. Still I have occa- 
sionally seen some tolerable cigars made under specially favour- 
able conditions for the drying of the leaves. Formerly its 
cultivation was prohibited on account of a monopoly now 
abolished. 
The subarboreous N. glauca Grah. (in EM. t. 2837 ; Dun. in DC. 
xiii. 1. 562), altogether smooth, with slender trunk, glaucous 
young shoots and poplar-like 1. (the latter cordate and long- 
petioled) and v. fh, — so widely naturalized in the Canaries and 
Cape Verdes, — occurs, but has not yet at all established itself 
in Mad.
