BIGLANDULARIA CONSPICUA. 
This is the represontativo of an entirely new genus of Gesneraocm, with the habit of Scheeria and 
Locheria, nevertheless not belonging to the Achimones tribe, but to tho Ligeriese. It is closely 
allied to Siniiingia (^Need) and Ligeria {Dc7ie)y having a tuberous rhizome, and a similarly-shaped 
corolla, but both these genera have five porigynous 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. Tho plant grows about a foot high, is 
hirsute, the loaves opposite, ovate-oblong, and with a short acumen, dontated at the edge, and 
slightly cordate at the base. The flowers, which appear on long axillary peduncles — 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 linos and dots. 5s. and 7^. Gd.
