Gev. Char. Calyx (fig. 1.) inferior, of one sepal, tubular, bell- 
shaped, permanent, with 5 spreading, unequal, spinous-pointed 
teeth, shorter than the tube ; the upper one upright, at some dis- 
tance from the rest. Corolla (fig. 2.) of one petal, ringent ; tube 
cylindrical, the length of the calyx ; upper lip oval, incurved, arched, 
entire; lower lip shorter, in 3 oblong, pointed, rather unequal, 
undivided segments, the middle one longest. Filaments (fig. 3, d.) 4, 
2 longer than the other 2 (didynamous), awl-shaped, covered by 
the upper lip of the corolla. Anthers (fig. 4.) of 2 roundish lobes. 
Germen (fig. 3, a.) superior, 4-lobed. Style (fig. 3, b ) thread- 
shaped, the length of the stamens. Stigmas (fig. 3, c.) in 2 acute, 
spreading segments. Seeds (figs. 6 & 7.) 4, short, triangular, blunt, 
in the bottom of the open-mouthed calyx, (see fig. 5). 
The lower lip of the corolla in 3 acute, undivided, nearly equal 
segments, will distinguish this from other genera, with a nearly 
regular, 5-cleft calyx, in the same class and order. 
Only one species known.
