shortly acuminate, base cuneate, minutely scabrid above, fla- 
vescent beneath and with a pubescent conspicuous reticula- 
tion, lateral nerves approximate: peduncles 4-6, alternate at 
leafless summitof stem, linear-bracted; umbels many-flowered, 
. pedicels exceeding flowers: calyx-segments linear-lanceolate 
(1), pilose on back, margins scarious: corolla-segments four 
times longer, oblong, spreading, yellow: anthers equalling 
staminal column (11; coronal scales as long, white, cylindri- 
cal by involution of margins, rugulose, appendaged below sin- 
uate apex with an as long incurved-subulate ligule: ovaries 
glabrous: follicles not seen. —The flowers of A. ovata Mart. 
et Gal., which may perhaps best be comparted with the above, 
differ by reflexed corolla, shorter pollinia and appendage of an- 
"ther, conduplicate broad coronal scales ligulate from near 
base.—Santiago, alt. 6,500", 1891, Rosalió Gómez, (ex Pl. 
cit. 809). ; 
. Dietyanthus ceratopetala.—Hispid with spreading articu- 
lated hairs bulbous at base: leaves cordate-ovate (2-3 x 1-13"), 
about a half longer than petioles, acutely acuminated, min- 
utely scabrid above, punctulate beneath and nearly glabrate 
except ferruginous nerves, margin ciliate: pedicels 2—8-fascic- 
ulate, 4-bracteolate, tetragonal, short, with peduncle added 
not equalling petiole and usually not exceeding calyx, flowers 
in anthesis single and aboutan inch long: calyx-segments 
lanceolate (6): corolla glabrous, whole interior marked with 
elevated red-purple reticulations; tube semiglobose, a little ex- 
ceeding calyx; limb divided nearly to tube; segments triangu- 
lar, elongated (5-6), obtuse, margins revolute: fruit not seen. 
—Of the other species with reticulated corollas, D. refica- 
latus Benth. et Hook. and D. parviflorus Hemsl., the former 
is the more nearly related, differing as briefly described by 
peduncles nearly as long as petioles and 1-flowered, ovate 
calyx-segments, twice larger flowers. — Plain of Santa Rosa,

ing petioles : cymes subequalling leaves, pedicels distant and 
shorter than peduncle: calyx-segments subglabrate except 
margins, membranaceous, lanceolate, acute: corolla-segments 
broader and longer, apex apiculate and laterally erose: 
tube of corona short (2), pilose; the exterior border nar- 
row, entire, fimbriate ; the interior fringeless, appendaged ex-
