0:2-0:3 em. long, and the smaller corollas, never more than 0:9 em. long. instead of 1:2- 
1:3 em. Since, however, Pohl’s no. 845, referred by Mueller Arg. to Psychotria subcrocea, 
has long-petioled leaves, and Blanchet's no. 2699, which Mueller names P. subcrocea, var. 
confusa, has short corollas, I have decided to refrain from adding another to the long list of 
species ranged under this troublesome genus.  [ Bras. Or., Goyaz. |
