TYDsEAS. 
BIGLANDULARIA CONSPICUA. 
This is the representative of an entirely new genus of Gesnerace®, with the habit of Seheeria and 
Locheria, nevertheless not belonging to the Achimenes tribe, but to the Ligeriese. It is olosely 
allied to Sinningia ( A T ees ) and Ligeria {Done), having a tuberous rhizome, and a similarly-shaped 
corolla, but both these genera have five perigynous glands, whilst Biglandularia has only two, in 
which respect it differs also from every other known genus of the order. 
It has been introduced from the tropical part of Brazil. The plant grows about a foot high, is 
hirsute, the leaves opposite, ovate-oblong, and with a short acumen, dentated at the edge, and 
slightly cordate at the base. The flowers, which appear on long axillary pedunoles— making it a 
free-flowering species — are yellow, paler on the outside than the inside, and the lower part of the 
tube inside is marked with elegant purple lines and dots. 2s. G>d. and 3s. 6 d.
