calyx, thicker, each with two lanceolately linear herbaceous 
upright opposite bractes at the base. Flowers small for the 
genus, white: calyx funnelform, green; J/eaflets of one 
length, obovately oblong, taper-pointed, fringed at the 
upper part, two inner ones narrower than the rest. Corolla 
subrotate, rather deeply 5-lobed, lobes rounded, slightly 
furred on the outside. Stamens considerably shorter than 
the corolla: filaments widest at the base, adhering to the 
very shortly contracted yellow disk of the corolla, smooth. 
Style white, upright, 2-3 times shorter than the stigmas: 
stigmas 2, filiform, thickish, upright, whitish. Germen 
pale, nearly round. Capsule globular: seeds 3, roundish, 
rough. 
Seeds freely. Of the easiest propagation and culture. 
Differs from siculus by peduncles which are longer, not 
shorter than the leaves, by narrow bractes at a distance 
from the calyx, not broad ones close to the calyx; also in 
the colour of the corolla, and the comparative bareness of 
the calyx.
