Resembling &. andina Mitt. in its secund leaves, but when 
compared with Spruce no. 429 from Pichincha they are quite dis- 
tinct, our species belonging to the section with 2. arcuata and B. 
scoparia, but agreeing with neither. The absence of fruit prevents 
the determination of its closest alliance.
