A very distinct species, if the petals of the other American species have been cor- 
rectly described. In other characters it approaches very closely to A. acuminata, which 
has yellowish branches, thicker leaves, shorter and stouter petioles, and the lateral veins 
distinctly run together, and the stipes of the carpels is stouter. ‘

This genus, according to Bentham and Hooker, Gen. Plant. i. p. 24, is confined to
