In my former papers I had considered this a variety of P. 
alnifolia; but the examination of M. André’s specimens and 
analyses, and the absence of strictly intermediate forms, lead 
me to concur in the view of MM. Triana and Planchon, who 
retain it as a distinct species. It differs from P. alnifolia in its 
much denser, more velvety indumentum, in its shorter peduncles, 
in the outer threads of the faucial corona, which are capitate, 
not falcate at the end as they are in P. alnifolia. The character 
relied on by MM. Triana and Planchon, as to the double rim at 
the base of the flower-tube, is not to be found in all the spe- 
cimens of alnifolia.
