Granada Agi, and in the province of Quito and Popaya Canela 
de Parama. Flowers white, rather larger than those of D. Win- 
tèri ; petals about 12. 
Var. a, campéstris (St. Hil. fl. bras. 1. p. 22. pl. usuell. bras. 
t. 26.) stem shrubby or arboreous ; leaves 2 or 3 inches long, 
obovate-oblong, very blunt; with the nerves rufescent on the 
under surface ; peduncles 3-5-cleft, but usually 4-cleft ; pedicels 
short, aggregate at the top of the branches rising from the axils 
of the caducous bracteas ; petals usually 10, oblong-linear, blunt.

Var. B, sylvatica (St. Hil. 1. c. pl. usu. bras. t. 27.) stem arbo- 
reous ; leaves 4-6 inches long, oblong, rather narrow and rather 
acute, hoary beneath with rufescent nerves ; peduncles umbel- 
late, 3-4, but usually 5-cleft, very numerous, crowded at the 
tops of the branches, rising from the axils of the caducous 
bracteas; pedicels slender, longer than the peduncles; petals 
5-7 lines long, linear, acute. Native of Brazil in woods, usually 
on the banks of rivulets. (f. 20.) 
Var. y, axillaris (St. Hil. 1. c.) stem arboreous ; branches 
glaucous ; leaves 2 or 3 inches long, full of pellucid dots ; hoary 
glaucous beneath, with reddish nerves; peduncles umbellate, 
3-4 cleft, but often 5-cleft, rising from the axils of the upper 
leaves; pedicels shorter than the peduncles ; petals usually 10, 
oblong-linear, narrowest at the base, rather acute at the apex. 
Native of Brazil on mountains near Villa Ricca. 
Var. ò montana (St. Hil. 1. c. pl. usu. bras. t. 28.) stem 
shrubby, a little branched; leaves crowded, 1 or 14 inches 
long, obovate oblong, obtuse, usually somewhat emarginate, 
hoary pubescent beneath; peduncles crowded, not numerous, 
usually lateral, rising from the axils of the caducous bracteas, 
simple, 1-flowered or divided, longer than the pedicels; flowers 
small; petals 12-15, oblong-linear, obtuse. Native of Brasil on 
the high mountains, commonly called Serra Negra. This variety 
is called in Brasil Casca d. Anta, signifying ecorse de taper. 
The bark of all the varieties is aromatic stimulating, and the inha- 
bitants in the provinces of the mines make much use of it. It is 
employed as a tonic to cure colics, and as a spice, and is much 
used by the inhabitants of Brasil to season their food, and there- 
fore the plant is considered of great importance by them.
