cuneate and entire at the base, smooth, except at the 
axillee of the veins on the under side, where are tufts of 
hair, just as in Fraxinus ornus, to the foliage of which 
this bears great resemblance; petiole slightly winged. 
Flowers in dense racemes, on a long peduncle. Pedicels 
filiform, longer than the bractez. Calyx short, campanu- 
late, somewhat truncate, 5-toothed, the lowermost teeth 
being obsolete. Corolla orange red, about two inches 
long, with a long arcuate tube, which is villous inside at 
the base; limb spreading, oblique, four-parted, with nearly 
equal segments, the upper of which is emarginate; throat 
veiny. laments longer than the corolla, pilose at base. 
Anthers divaricating at the base, smoothish. Style fili- 
form, smooth. Stigma with two lamelliform lobes. Cap- 
sule shaped like a siliqua, two-celled, with the dissepiment 
contrary to the valves. Seeds with a membranous margin.
