This name has often been misapplied to cultivated V. brachysiphon. True V. traversii, which has certainly been in cultivation, is easily distinguishable by its very slender corolla-tubes and, in fruit, by its capsules being about four times as long as the calyx-lobes. The inflorescences are of the same length as in H. brachysiphon, the leaves of similar dimensions but more oblong.
