 A. DC. Prod. ]. c.) a plant differing from Lehmann's type onlj 

 in having leaves "twice or four times as long/' My specimens 

 vary very much in this respect, and I doubt whether the name 

 E. Walpersii should be retained even for a variety. Lehmanu 

 founded his description on specimens contained in Willdenow's 

 herbarium, to which the latter had given, in manuscript, the names 

 Anchusa linifolia and A. Iciicantha ; Eoemer and Schultes declare 

 this to have been an error on Lehmann's part, and that instead 

 of one species with two names, there existed in AVilldenow^s her- 

 barium two different species both labelled Anchusa linifolia, 



Eritrichium: Mandonii, n. sp. Chicla! 



Ijienne ? caule e basi ramoso, ramis adscendentibus, foliaceis,

 sessilibus, semiamplexicaulibus, oblongis, apice sensim acutatis ; 

 floribus subsessilibus in cymam densam congestis, uno alterove 

 axillari remotiusculo ; calycis segmentis in fi-uctu elongatis, 

 linearibus ; corolla parva, ochroleuca ; nuculis corrugato-lacunosi^. 



My specimens, from which the description is taken, agree with 

 No. 378 of Mandon's ' Plants of Bolivia.' In appearance the plant 

 recalls AmsincJcia angustifolia^ Lehm.

SoLANUM TUBEROSUM, Z. ? Growing among dense bushes 

 beside the torrent a few hundred feet above Chicla! I was un-- 

 able to obtain the root of this plant, and I do not feel certain as 

 to its identity. In spite of the assistance derived from Mr. 

 Baker's careful investigation of this group of Solanum, I find it
