In describing from a dried native sample, Sir James 
Smith has viewed the corolla as smooth, though in fact it 
is manifestly villous, The flowers are cernuous, about 4+ of 
an inch long and bellshaped, and of a subscariose sub- 
stance that feels like paper, dry and stiff. They are smooth 
on the inside. The petals ave cuneately oblong, of the 
_ same length as the segments of the calyx but much broader; 
_the jags become finally twisted. The fleshy hypogynous 
ring is yellow. The anthers are scariose, rougiily villous, 
and from cream-coloured fade to brown. 
Introduced in 1803. Drawn this summer at the Nur- 
sery of Messrs. Colvill, where it is cultivated in the green- 
house. Grows to a pretty large stout upright shrub. 
The figure of the fruit is done from a native sample ; 
it has sometimes, however, we believe, ripened in this — 
country.
