Owing to the presence of a double faucial corona in this plant, 
I separated it as a distinct species from T. mixta; but MM. 
Triana and Planchon are probably correct in referring it to T. 
mixta, of which, however, it may form a variety. 
In the ‘ Flora Brasiliensis’ and elsewhere I have included 7. 
speciosa, H. B. K., under T. mixta as a variety ; and Triana and 
Planchon also rank Humboldt & Bonpland's speciosa as synony- 
mous with T. mixta; but the terete stems and less-divided leaves 
are reasons why it might preferably be ranked with T. mollissima, 
or in close alliance to it.
