longer than the leaves, villous, as well as the pedicles, fili- 
form. Calyx herbaceous, furred on both sides, several 
times shorter than the corolla, small, crosswisely 4-cleft ; 
segments broadly ovate, pointed, flat. Corolla the size of 
a large pea, yellow, distended, nearly globular, attached 
by the base to the semisuperior germen, minutely furred on 
the outside, open at the upper side at the base: upper lip 
lidshaped, of the same form as the lower but much smaller, 
covering the aperture, convex, nearly orbicular, attached 
to the calyx by the edge of its base as by a hinge, concrete © 
with the half-covered germen and conjoined at the base 
with the lower lip. Stamens standing across and inclosed 
within the upper lip, inserted between the two lips of these 
at their union with the germen, bending towards the style ; 
filaments longer than the anthers. Anthers balancing, reni- 
formly bilobular before they shed their pollen, purple and 
shrunk after that. Style bristle-shaped with a simple point. 
_ Germen ovate, transparently frosted.
