I have little doubt it will prove a new species, intermediate between G. pneumonanthe and G. ochroleuca. I describe it thus:
Stem erect, simple, terete, very smooth and firm, of a red colour; about one foot in height. Leaves about one inch in length, alternately opposite at intervals, oblong-lanceolate, of thick consistency, smooth, entire in margin and slightly undulate, obtuse, sessile and sub-amplexicaule or connate at base, with three nerves, the two lateral ones inconspicuous. The upper leaves forming a pseudo-involu-crum of ovate leaves, not exceeding the corollas in length. Involucrum and leaves sub-erect. Corollas campahulate, erect, sessile, terminal, fasciculate or single, sub-quinque-fid. Segments sub-connivent, the interior plait with a single tooth. Calyx very small in proportion to the flower, 5-fid.
Appears to have been bluish.
G. caule tereti glabro rubro: foliis oblongo-lanceolatis, trinerviis, obtusis. Corollis terminalibus fasciculatis ses-silibus, 5-fidis campanulatis non ventricosis, laciniis acutis conniventibus; plicis interiofibus unidentatis.
