flowered, ending in a short scattered cyme at the top, rather 
longer than the petiole, shorter than the leaf: pedicles short, 
with a small pointed bracte under each. Calyx short, 
suborbicular, as are its leaflets. Corolla very pale purple, 
its white ground being thickly streaked with fine purple 
lines; tube nearly twice the diameter of a common 
pen; limb flatly expanded, minutely wrinkled or rather: 
runipled, eroded at the edge, deeply indented at the ter- 
minations of the plaits.. In our sample one anther overtopped 
the stigma; but probably this is not a constant character.
