of the corolla. Corolla large, shewy, red; tube cylindrical, 
nearly an inch long; Jdimé half the length, divided into 
5 laciniz, rolled hack. Stamens 10, exserted: filaments pass 
through a hairy ring, near the bottom of the tube ; anthers, 
before the flower opens, upright, with four grooves. Styles 
» 5, rather longer than stamens: stigmas lobular, villous. 
Nectaries 5 concave scales, one at the base of each germen. 
There can be no doubt, after an inspection of the Flora 
Capensis of Thunberg, that his Cotyledon papillaris is a 
species altogether distinct from this.
