SAFFORD—CLASSIFICATION OF ANNONA. 63 
mm. long, ferrugineous-hirtellous, with a bracteole a little below the middle 
and another at the base; bracteoles small, ovate-lanceolate, ferrugineous-hirtel- 
lous; flowers (staminate only observed) 6-petaled, the 3 exterior petals ovate- 
lanceolate to linear, ferrugineous-sericeous on the outside, 8 to 22 mm. long; 
inner petals much smaller, ovate, acute, 3 to 4 mm. long, connivent over the 
andreecium, at length with their margins revolute; torus conoid; andrecium 
composed of many closely crowded stamens 0.6 to 0.7 mm. long, the filament 
about equal in length to the pollen sacs, minutely appressed-puberulent, the con- 
nective not expanded above the pollen sacs nor swollen at the apex but termi- 
nating in a few minute hairs; pistillate flowers not observed; fruit bacciform, 
of the size of an apricot, with its surface 
scarcely reticulate; seeds about 20 to 25, 
ovoid-trigonal, olivaceous-brown, 8 mm. 
long. (PrLate 40. Figure 72.) 
Type collected by Humboldt and Bon- 
pland. “Crescit in Andibus Quinduen- 
sibus, alt. 1,200 hex.,” Province of New 
xrenada (Colombia). 
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the 
type locality and from Copo, in the Andes 
of Bogota, altitude 1,000—2,000 meters. 
SPECIMENS EXAMINED: 
CoLoMBIA: Copo, Andes of Bogota, 
Triana (Herb. De Candolle). 
Ecuapor: “ In Huayaquil, 1800,” Ruiz 
(Berlin Herb., type of Annona 
conica Ruiz & Pav.).

and Copo, Colombia). 
The close affinity of this plant with 
Raimondia monoica Safford is apparent 
on comparing the two species; yet the two 
differ widely in the indument and shape 
of the leaves and in the size and form of Fia, 72.—Raimondia quinduensis. a, In-

nona conica Ruiz & Pay. with Raimondia 
quinduensis was proved conclusively by a careful study of type material of that 
species from the Berlin Herbarium, collected at Guayaquil by Ruiz in 1800. 
Allied to the present species, also, is the plant described by Martius as Annona 
tenuiflora.” It has similarly a few fine hairs at the apex of the connective, and 
its peculiar stamens show that it can not possibly be included in the genus 
Annona. It differs, however, from the genus Raimondia as defined by the author 
in the form of its flowers, in which the inner and outer petals are subequal. 
The fruit of this species is desired.
