The flowers are developed on the top of the stem, and are about 4 in. in diameter, with a thick tube; the petals are spreading, bright yellow in colour, and arranged in a regular, bell-like whorl.

It was you yourself who told me that Gungadhura has lots of children, who all stand between you and the throne. Do you mean ?" Again the bell-like laugh announced utter enjoyment of Tess's bewilderment. "No, I will kill nobody. I will not even send snakes in a basket to Gungadhura.
