Hab. Central Province, at an elevation of 4000 to 6000 feet. 



My specimens differ from the description of ^. Perrottetvi principally in the 

 leaves being narrower, and acute at the base, and in the corolla being externally 

 sprinkled with glandular hairs.

Hab. Common in damp, rocky places in the Central Province and 

 elsewhere, up to an elevation of 5000 feet. 



This is a most variable species, and there appears to me to be no permanent cha- 

 racter to distinguish B. primidiefolia from D, Humboldtiana ; and I think it is not 

 improbable that D, tomentosa, D, ovalifolia, and D. Eottleriana, are some or all of 

 them, varieties of the present plant.

Hab. Dolosbage, in tlie Central Province, at an elevation of 2000 feet. 



Flores pallide purpurci, C-7 lin. in eip. 



This is principally distinguished from the preceding by the different character of 

 its pubescence, its larger foliage, more compact cymes, and the more contracted 

 throat of the corolla.
