The characters given above are taken from Gay’s manuscript monograph of the- 
order, now at Kew. Gay described the species from an imperfect specimen, pre- 
served in the Paris Herbarium. He does not quote any locality in the Annales des 
Sciences Naturelles, and in his manuscript he simply says “ Habitat in Brasilia.”
