vary) 3 mm., Calyx lobes(4 in number) about 1/0x2
mm. Corolla pure white with strong tuberose odor,
tube ± 5 cm., limb 4-parted, salverform, the elliptical

stigma 33 mm.(hence much shorter than corolla
tube) divided for about 9mm into 2 linear branches.
Ovary completely inferior, 2-celled, many seeded.

filaments hairy on inside at base and no fine glands
on calyx. x handles p.infl(SVN) Also Calyx lobes slight-
