very rarely here and there divided, the furrows between them very narrow. 
Corolla-tube glabrous, 4 to 5 lines long, bent near the top ; the upper lip much 
shorter than the lower one. — Campuleia coccinea, Hook. Exot. FI. t. 203. 
Hab.: Burdekin River, Bowman. 
Frequent in tropical Asia, extending westward into Africa, eastward to the Archipelago, and 
northward to S. China. — Benth. 
2. S. parviflora (small flowered), Benth. in Comp. Bot. Mag. and in DC. 
Prod. x. 501 ; FI. Austr. iv. 516. A very scabrous, erect, simple or slightly 
branched annual of 6 to 9in. Leaves linear, usually short, the floral ones very 
narrow. Flowers small, blue, in more or less interrupted terminal spikes. 
Calyx 1 to lj line long, with 5 very scabrous and prominent ribs, and smooth 
between them and here and there with an imperfect row of minute prickles. 
Corolla scarcely 8 lines long, the tube bent near the top, the lobes all very short, 
but the upper lip more than half as long as the lower one. Capsule broad. —

3. S. curviflora (corolla-tube curved), Benth. in Comp. Bot. Mag. and in DC. 
Prod. x. 501 ; Ft. Austr. iv. 517. Usually a much taller and stouter plant than 
S. parviflora, many of the specimens above 1ft. high, simple and slightly 
branched and very scabrous. Leaves linear, the lower ones above lin. high. 
Flowers purplish in terminal interrupted spikes. Calyx 3 lines long or more, 
with long subulate-acuminate teeth, the tube with 5 prominent scabrous ribs, 
and smooth between them. Corolla pubescent, the tube 4 to 5 lines long, bent 
near the top, the lobes of the lower lip 3 to 4 lines long, the upper lip slightly 
notched, only 1 to line long, usually somewhat recurved. — Buclmera curviflora, 
R. Br. Prod. 438.

25. RHAMPHICARPA, Benth. 
(From rhamphos, a beak, and karpos, fruit ; capsule beaked.) 
Calyx campanulate, 5 lobed. Corolla tube long and slender, straight or 
slightly curved ; lobes 5, obovote, nearly equal or the two upper (inside in the 
bud) rather smaller. Stamens 4, in pairs ; anthers 1-celled, vertical, obtuse. 
Capsule ovate, compressed or turgid, acuminate, with a straight or oblique beak, 
opening loculicidally in 2 valves. — Erect branching glabrous herbs, drying black, 
perhaps parasitical. Lower leaves opposite, upper ones alternate, entire or 
the lower ones pinnately divided. Flowers in terminal racemes, usually 
without bracteoles. 
A small genus, chiefly African, with one Asiatic species, the same as the Australian one. 
1. longiflora (long flowers), Benth. in Comp. Bot. Mag. and in DC. Prod. 
x. 504 ; FI. Austr. iv. 518. An erect slender but rigid branching annual, more 
or less scabrous, from under 6in. to nearly 1ft. high. Leaves pinnately divided 
into linear-subulate segments, rather short and distant, or sometimes again 
toothed or pinnate, the whole leaf usually above lin. long. Flowers in the 
upper axils, on pedicels from \ to lin., without bracteoles. Calyx broadly cam- 
panulate, 2 to 3 lines long, the lobes ending in fine points. Corolla-tube 
slender, about lin. long when perfect, with a campanulate throat, the lobes 
broad, varying in size, but always 2 or 3 times shorter than the tube. Capsule
