Nulli nisi Sipanee cane, Hook., affinis, sed multis signis ab illà discrepat, scilicet 
staturá humili, indumento, foliis disparibus, corolla, ete., toto ccelo diversa. [| Bras. Or., 
Goyaz, Peru.] 
Hujus forsan varietatem insequentem inveni ad Santa Gris mens. Dec. florentem, 
videlicet (n. 794): var. lanceolata, que a typo divergit ob staturam paullo elatiorem 
(25:0-80-0 cm. alt.), folia paullo majora supra parce villosulo-pilosa, in sicco nigri- 
cantia, stipulas lanceolatas, bracteas exteriores majores (0-6 cm. long.), corolla tubum 
longiorem (0:8 em. long.), stamina sub fauce inserta, antheras paullo longiores, angus- 
tiores, apice acuto, necnon stylum breviorem. 
This is probably the short-styled form, the other being the long-styled, but the 
variation in length of the styles and position of insertion of the stamens is accompanied 
by so much difference in the purely vegetative organs of the plant that this view must 
remain a mere surmise for the present.

There are two forms of this in the collection, one (no. 33, from the Chapada Plateau) 
has larger leaves and somewhat longer corollas than the other; its branches also are 
white, those of the other form being purplish. [Bras. Or., Goyaz, Amazonia, Guiana.]
