(Dimorphsinthera, Moorhousiana.) 
Branch lets beset with dark short spreading hairs ; leaves on 
short stalks, ovate-lanceolar, eiitire, acuminate, flat, glabrous 
except at the base, paler beneath, two of the longitudinal nerves 
on each side of the midrib more prominent beneath, main areoles 
of veins largo ; pedicels about as long as the flowers, thinly fili- 
form, glabrous, bearing two minute bracteoles above the base ; 
calyx small, its tube hemispheric, not angular; limb entire, ex- 
panding ; corolla red, rather membranous, almost bell-shaped, 
outside slightly downy ; lobes nearly deltoid, much shorter than 
the tube ; stamens about three times shorter than the corolla, 
five larger, alternating with as many smaller, all in one row ; 
filaments closely approximated, but disconnected, flat, pubescent ; 
anthers hardly longer than the filaments, the large) 1 bifid to the 
middle and two-celled, the smaller undivided and one-celled, tho 
cells turgid, acute at the base and summit, each opening at its 
upper part anteriorly by a largo pore; style glabrous, about us 
long as the corolla; stigma truncated; epigenous disk annular 
velvety; ovary five-celled, with very numerous ovules in each 
cell.

Probably an epiphyte. Leaves (two only seen) about 3 inches 
long and nearly one inch broad, of chartaceous consistence when 
dry, die longitudinal nerves starting from the lower portion of 
the midrib. Flowers probably in fascicles, unless solitary. 
Stalklets of flowers about one inch long, jointed with the calyx. 
Bracteoles ovato-lauceolar. F! w big calyx not fully •} inch 
wide. -Corolla about inch glabrous inside. Filaments 
of the larger stamens considvrabiy b’oader than the other. 
Anthers towards their base urmfixed, yellowish, hardly J inch
