Thin-Flower False Eranthemum is apparently a large
shrub, with hairless round branches. It looks rather different from
other related species. Flowers are borne in elongated, many-flowered,
hairless racemes, 12-22 cm long. Racemes are 1 to 5, borne at branch
ends, nearly simple. Flowers are pink, rather slender, with a 6-8 mm
long, linear curved, tube, with an inflated base, with 5 nearly equally
petals. Sepals are 3 mm, linear-lanceshaped. Stamens are 2, with 2
minute linear rudiments, anthers oblong, style 4-5 mm. Flower-stalks
are unusually long, upper ones often reaching 4 mm. Leaves are elliptic
long-pointed, narrowed at base, 12-22 x 3.5-9 cm, nerves 11-16 pairs,
stalk 2.5-3.7 cm. Capsule is 3-3.5 cm long. Thin-Flower False
Eranthemum is native to East Himalaya, restricted to Arunchal Pradesh
and Myanmar.
