" Calyce unibracteolato, ventricoso-tubuloso, spathaceo, antice usque ad basin fisso, postice acuto,. 

 margine integro. Corollse tubo cylindrico curvato, labio superiore reflexo fornicato integro 

 inferius sequante ; labio inferiore 3-lobo, lobis rectis lanceolatis. Staminibus 4 exsertis sub- 

 sequalibus stylo sequantibus vel parum brevioribus. Stigmate discoideo medio impresso. 

 " Planta 6-8-pollicaris. Caulis simplicissimus carnosus crassus fusco-brunneus, basin versus incras- 

 satus ibique squamis densissime imbricatis tectus, supra squamis majoribus sparsis obtectus y 

 spica 3-4-pollicaris, floribus sessilibus fuseo-flavescentibus. 

 " Habitat in alpe trachytio Tepeyecuapa prope oppidum Chinantla, Puebla, alt. 7000- 

 8000 ped., ad radices Pinorum. Floret Aprili. 



" Differt a Conoph. americana, Wallr., calyce unibracteolato, ad basin fisso, postice 

 non inciso ; corolla calyce duplo longiore, labio superiore reflexo integro lobos labii in- 

 ferioris non superante ; labii inferioris lobis brevioribus lanceolatis integris ; staminibus 

 longius exsertis ; stylo longitudinem staminum parum excedente angulato porrecto (non 

 reclinato) ; capsula apiculata (nee curvato-longirostrata), bractea breviore integra (nee 

 bifida) instructa." 



This probably corresponds to C. mexicana, A. Gr., as limited by Watson ; but the 

 differential characters given are not obvious.

 Am. Acad, xviii. p. 131. 



" Distinguished from C. americana by its longer and more rigid lanceolate acu- 

 minate scales, the calyx less deeply toothed, and the corolla larger (8 lines long). 



" The plant figured by Endlicher (Iconogr. t. 81) for C. americana is C. mewicana,, 

 probably from Andrieux's collection." 



As Watson observes, possibly from a memorandum by A. Gray, Endlicher's figure 

 was most likely made from Andrieux's collection, for there is a specimen in the Kew 

 Herbarium (formerly in Gay's herbarium) collected by Andrieux, which is so like the 

 figure that it may have been the one actually drawn.

" Calyce bibracteolato, ventricoso-tubuloso, spathaceo, antice ad medium fisso, postice bidentato.. 



Corollse tubo curvato basi ventricoso, labio superiore fornicato integro inferius superante, labio 



inferiore 3-lobo, lobis brevibus rectis obtusis. Staminibus 4-exsertis, subsequalibus stylum 



aequantibus. Stigmate capitato parum bisulco. 

 " Planta 7-9-pollicaris gracilescens. Caulis simplicissimus carnosus flaccido-fucescens, usque ad 



basin cylindricus, squamis imbricatis cartilaginosis lanceolatis flaccidis obtectus. Spica 5-7- 



pollicaris, floribus brevissime pedicellatis flavescentibus. 

 " Habitat in sylvis umbrosis ad radices Quercuum prope oppidum Totutla et prsedium 

 Hacienda de Mirador Dep. Vera Cruz, alt. 3000-4500 ped. Floret Febr.-Martio. 



" Differt a Conoph. americana, Wallr., gracilitate caulis ; calyce minore antice ad 

 medium fisso, postice bidentato (nee 4-dentato) ; corolla graciliore calyce duplo longiore,.
