Matteo, by Matthews, and near Quito by Professor Jameson ; 
and there are specimens in the Herbaria which were culti- 
vated many years ago from Messrs. Veitch’s garden (probably 
then at Exeter). I suspect that C. cerasifolia, Benth., C. 
involuta, Ruiz and Pavon, and C. viscosa, R. and P. are 
all forms of one plant, which in this case extends from New 
Granada to Peru. ©. stricta, H. B. & K., differs in its larger 
leaves, more narrowed into the petiole; and @. tetragona, 
Benth., in the entire larger more elliptic leaves and large 
calyx. I should mention that, in identifying the plants of 
Ruiz and Pavon by those authors’ plates, much allowance 
must be made for these being often made by very inferior 
artists from very incomplete specimens, and these always 
a dried state. 
. _ @. defleea was introduced into cultivation by Messrs. 
Rodger M‘Clelland and Co., of Newry, and the figure here 
given was taken partly from specimens kindly communicated 
by W. T. Gumbleton, Esq., in March last, and partly from 
one that flowered at Kew at the same time. : 
Duscr. A slender glabrous undershrub ; stem and branches 
round or obscurely four-angled; leaves above, and panicle 
more or less viscid. Leaves two to two and a half inches 
long, ovate-lanceolate, acute, unequally toothed or serrate, 
rounded acute or subcordate at the base, dark green above, 
whitish beneath ; petiole one quarter to half an inch long. 
Panicle large, effuse, with small opposite lanceolate leaves at 
the forks. //owers drooping, on slender pedicels. Calyx-lobes 
triangular-ovate, one-third of an inch long, acute. Corolla 
one inch across the lobes, sulphur-yellow; lips subequal, 
upper orbicular-reniform, compressed from back to front, 
crenate; lower rather larger, inflated, incurved and rounded ; 
mouth subquadrate, villous, exposing the stamens and ovary. 
Ovary conical, glabrous ; style short-—J. D. H.
