to do with Humboldt’s plant. Nor is it the same as A. P. 
De Candolle, Triana, Planchon, and others have assumed as the 
P. stipulata of Aublet. Specimens from v. Rohr in the Britis 
Museum correspond exactly with Aublet's figure, as also, but 
less closely, does a specimen of Dr. Haucock's from Demerara 
and contained in the Kew herbarium. 
2. P. MACROPHYLLA, sp. n. (§ Astrophea), Mast. ex Spruce in 
herb.—P. arborea, Spreng., Mast. l. c. pro parte. 
Arborea ecirrosa ; foliis amplissimis usque ad 75 em. longis et 
ultra, glaberrimis, cordato-subpeltatis, versus basin eglandulosis 
vel glandulis paucis preeditis, ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis, petiolo 
crasso 33 em. ; cymis peduneulatis dichotomis, pedunculis petiolo 
multo longioribus; floribus diametro 6-73 cm., tubo elongato 
(12 mm. et ultra) eylindrato glabro basi haud intruso; sepalis 
oblongis obtusis subcoriaceis tubo duplo longioribus; petalis con- 
formibus tenuioribus brevioribus albidis; coronsz faucialis bise- 
rialis filis. extimis liguliformibus tenuibus quam petala parum 
brevioribus, filis intimis brevissimis carnosulis oblongis sursum 
flexis; corona media e tubo versus basin emergente tubulato- 
membranacea, apice in filas breves erectas divisa ; urceolo tubi 
infra coronam membranaceam crasso albido.

Daule, Ecuador: arbor 3-4 met. alt. ramis depauperatis, flor. extus

In the ‘Flora Brasiliensis’? I have treated this as a form of 
P. arborea. M. André's specimens, however, having afforded 
ample means of examining the flowers, I am disposed to consider 
the present, as Spruce also did, a distinct species, and to adopt the 
characteristic name indicated by that traveller. 
In addition to the relatively gigantic leaves, the present species 
differs from its allies in its longer peduncles, larger flowers, the 
tube of which is nearly cylindrical, in the long, flat, thin faucial 
coronal threads (not thickened and hatchet-shaped as in P. ar- 
borea), in the longer membranous corona, the thickened urceolus, 
and the slender gynophore.
