Warszewicz, and from Bolivia by Mr. Pentland. Mr. G, Don, 
and, following him, De Candolle, appear to have done rightly in 
placing it in Zecoma, though it does not answer to the character 
“ corolla tubo brevi.” 
Descr. Shrub of an erect habit; ranches rich purplish- 
brown, terete, glabrous, younger ones hairy. Leaves opposite, 
.in outline linear-oblong, petiolate, impari-pinnate, with about 
twelve, opposite, sessile, cuneate, grossly serrated, glabrous /eaflets, 
and a terminal one ; petiole slightly winged, contracted where the 
leaves are set on; rachis jointed, and each joint rather deeply — 
winged; the younger /eaves are slightly hairy. Racemes of 
flowers terminal, or on small axillary branches which arise from 
the upper leaves; the collective flowers constituting a rather 
large leafy cyme. Pedicels downy. Calyzx glabrous (hairy, Cav.), 
obovate, obscurely angled, cut into five, rather deep, trian- 
gular, acuminate, erect teeth. Corolla two inches long, red on 
the upper, tawny-yellow on the under side ; ¢uée cylindrical, but 
tapering much below and very slender, so as to be infundibuli- 
form, slightly curved ; the Zimé scarcely two-lipped, of five nearly 
equal, spreading, rounded lobes. Stamens four, included, didy- 
namous, inserted at the faux of the corolla; fi/aments short ; an- 
thers of two, oblong, slightly divaricated, one-celled lobes, and 
having a soft curved jnucro or spur terminating the connectivum ; 
there is a small fifth abortive stamen lower down the tube. Ovary 
elongated, surrounded by a thick glandular ring. Style longer 
than the corolla. Stigma large, two-lipped.
