Stems glabrous, attaining a height of four to six inches and a 
thickness of an inch or more, the scars three or four times as 
broad as deep. Leaves twelve to twenty aggregated in a dense 
rosette, the largest four to five inches long by an inch broad at 
the middle, ligulate-oblong, acute, not at all spathulate down- 
wards, the face concave, both sides a glaucous-green much tinged 
with purple. Flowering branch, including the raceme, a foot and 
a half to two feet long, its leaves numerous and moderately close, 
gradually diminishing upwards. Jlowers twelve to twenty in a 
moderately dense equilateral raceme six to nine inches long. 
Bracts linear, the lower one half to five-eighths of an inch long, 
equalling the erecto-patent lanceolate pedicels. Sepals subequal, 
linear, glaucous, horizontally spreading or reflexed, about four 
lines long. Corolla bright red, yellowish within, nearly an inch 
deep, decidedly pentagonal.

20—30 in racemum laxum eequilaterale dispositis, bracteis lineari-

Not at all or very shortly caulescent, glabrous. The leaves in 
a dense rosette, obovate-spathulate, the largest in a dried speci- 
men two inches long by an inch broad two-thirds of the way up, 
acute, very glaucous. Flowers twenty to thirty in a lax erect 
equilateral raceme about a foot long. Bracts linear, exceeding 
the erecto-patent pedicels, which are a quarter to half an inch 
long. Sepals lanceolate, ascending, equal, a quarter of an inch 
long. Corolla reddish, half an inch long. 
We have not seen this living, but have examined a dried spe- 
cimen from the Cordilleras of Peru, Lechler, 1775.—J. G. B.
