1:0-3:0 em. long. validi, facie superiore anguste canaliculati, obsolete puberuli. 
Stipule ovato-oblongze, obtus:ze, pleræque 2:0 em. long. Inflorescentia tempore 
florendi non ultra 10:0 em. long. et 6:0 em. diam. ; rhachis tetragona, rufo-tomentella, 
mox puberula. Bractez usque ad 0'3 em. long., lanceolato- vel triangulari-subu- 
latee ; bracteole vix 0-1 cm. long. Ovarium, sub flore aperiente, 0*4 cm. long. Calyx 
0:32 cm. long., 0:35 cm. diam., intus obsolete puberulus. Floris aperientis corolla 
2:3 em. long. alba; tubus 1°5 cm. long. et vix 0°2 em. diam.; limbi lobi 0°8 cm. 
long., vix 0'1 em. lat., intus rufulo-puberuli. Stamina 0°25 cm. supra basin affixa ; 
antherz 0:35 cm. long. et 0:07 cm. lat. Stigmata 0:3 cm. long. Capsule plerseque 
40-5:0 em. long., vix usque ad 0:5 em. diam., calyce persistente connate. Semina 
1:0-1:4 cm. long.; nucleus 0°25 em. long., 0°13 em. lat. 
Accedit ad Ladenbergiam magnifoliam, Klotzsch, sed plane abhorret foliis minoribus, 
inflorescentiá abbreviatà subthyrsoideà, calycibus plane majoribus segmentis latioribus 
obtusissimis, alabastris diversiformibus, corollz lobis disparibus elongatis, antheris multo 
brevioribus, disco altiore, capsulis angustioribus plerumque uno latere dehiscentibus. 
Propius etiam videtur plante Venezueliane (Moritz, n. 965 in Herb. Brit. Mus.), cujus 
capsule iis stirpis nostree simillimee, sed flores ante-oculos non habui et folia indumento 
et nervatione dispari gaudent, bracteas insuper multo majores ostendit. 
The habit of the capsules of splitting usually down one side only is very peculiar, and 
were it universal might well justify the making of a new genus. But I find that one of 
my eapsules has split in the regulation way, and, as all the other characters are those 
of Ladenbergia, Y have decided upon describing my plant as a member of that genus.

plerumque gradatim acuminatis, puberulis, usque ad 10-0 cm. long. et 4°0 em. lat., 
plerisque vero minoribus; petiolis pubescentibus usque ad 3:0 em. long., superne 
paullo ampliatis ; pedunculis pubescentibus; calycis laciniis linearibus, 0:2 cm. long. 
Nec flores expansi nec fructus suppetebant. Flores, ex schedis meis, coccinei.

I have named this plant as above in deference to Dr. K. Schumann, who unites several 
forms which, at first sight, look very distinct. My specimens agree fairly well with 
Spruce's, except in the uniformly smaller size of their parts. [Amer. Austr. Trop. |
