27. GESNERA vestita. 
Bentham in litt. 
G. vestita ; fruticosa ramis pilosis, foliis ternatim verticillatis petiolatis ovato- 
oblongis basi angustatis supra dense hirsutis subtus molliter villosissimis 
canescentibus, pedunculis axillaribus brevissimis in pedicellos 3 unifloros 
elongatos partitis, calycis lobis lineari-subulatis, corolla cylindracea basi 
contracta lobis 5 rotundatis æqualibus. G.molli, H.B.K. proxima.—G. B. 
A shrubby Gesneria, raised from seeds collected by Mr. 
Hartweg near the village of Tena, in the province of Bogota. 
'The flowers are orange, mottled on the lobes of the corolla, 
and appear to be produced more abundantly in their wild 
state than at present under cultivation. It is not by any 
means a showy species, but is a very distinct one. 
98. HYPOCYRTA discolor. 
H. discolor; foliis ovalibus longè petiolatis glabriusculis integerrimis basi 
obliquis, floribus solitariis, calycis laciniis ovatis imbricatis discoloribus, 
corolla villosá dupló longiore limbo parvo erecto, glandulá maxima an- 
nulo nullo. 
^ This plant was exhibited the other day at the meeting of 
the Horticultural Society, by T. G. Loraine, Esq., under the 
name of Columnea zebrina, a’ name which I cannot find in 
books, and which cannot possibly relate to it. ‘The genus to 
which it belongs is Hypocyrta, and it is in fact closely allied 
to H. aggregata, from which it differs in its smooth long- 
stalked leaves, large calyx, and smaller solitary flowers. 
The latter are shaggy with hair, dull yellow, and about twice 
as long as the dark purple calyx. 
29. BROWNEA Ariza. 
Bentham in litt. 
B. Ariza; “foliis 6-8-jugis (v. numerosioribus ?) oblongo-lanceolatis longe 
cuspidatis basi plerique angustatis, jugorum infimorum brevioribus basi 
cordatis floribus dense capitato-spicatis, bracteolis connatis extus tomen- 
tosis calycis tubum subtriplo superantibus, staminibus 11 corollam vix 
æquantibus a basi liberis." 
« Near Brownea grandiceps, but the bracts, as well as 
the individual flowers, are larger ; the proportion of the parts 
is different, and the stamens are entirely free.' X. B:
