Near Tovar, Venezuela, Fendler, no. 651 (hb. Gray); Mariara, 
Venezuela, 800 m alt., Aug. 1899, Preuss, no. 1508 (hb. Berol.); Ocaña, 
Prov. Ocaña, Colombia, Schlim, no. 178 (hb. Kew.). 
The Fendler specimen was taken to Geneva and carefully compared 
with the type of T. podocarpa Sch. Bip. (Kuhnia podocarpa DC.) and it 
was found to be clearly a distinct species, differing in various ways but 
most strikingly in its densely tomentose corollas. In the type of T. podo- 
carpa the corollas are covered on the outside by large scattered waxy 
atoms but are other-wise glabrous. From T. campestris Gardn., T. rha- 
dinocarpa differs in its much broader leaves, longer and more tapering 
achenes, etc.
