Dicnorisanpra is a genus that was established upon the 
D. thyrsiflora, by Mrxan, in his Delectus Flora et Faune 
Brasiliensis ; and three more, D. gracilis, radicalis, and pu- 
berula, were afterwards, together with an amended charac- 
ter of the genus, published by Dr. Nes and Dr. Martius, 
in the llth vol. of the Nov. Act. Nat. Cur. From all 
these our plant is sufficiently distinct in the form of its 
petals.
