MM. Triana and Planchon refer this to P. tomentosa of 
Lamarck, the T. tomentosa of Jussieu, which they further cite as 
synonymous with the P. tomentosa of Cavaniiles, the latter being 
rather referable to P. mixta. Thetrue T. tomentosa of Jussieu is 
a native of Peru, and, like T. mollissima, has terete stems; but 
the leaves are more nearly orbicular in outline, and less deeply 
divided, the central lobe not being greatly, if at all, longer 
than the lateral ones; moreover the flower-tube is downy. For 
the present, then, it seems preferable to retain the Peruvian T. 
tomentosa as distinct from the more northern 7. mollissima. T. 
speciosa, H. B. K., although previously referred by me to T. mista 
as a variety, and considered synonymous with that species by 
Triana and Planchon, is probably better referred to T. mollissima, 
of which it has the terete stems and the relatively more divided 
leaves. The species are, however, so variable and so difficult to 
define in the herbarium, that there are abundant grounds for dif- 
ferences of opinion. In all probability the species intercross 
freely in their native country.

This is no doubt the plant called by Humboldtand Bonpland 
P. glauca; but Aiton's, or rather Solander's P. g/auca dates from 
1789. Of this latter the type specimen exists in the Banksian 
herbarium. It corresponds with Jacquin’s figure, and has nothing
