Specimens of this plant exist in the herbarium of Sir William Hooker, 
collected by Professor Jameson on the Western side of the Volcano of 
Pichincha, at an altitude of 13,000 feet ; by Colonel Hall, in the Valley of 
Lloa, who describes it as a large shrub ; and again by Professor Jameson 
in Columbia (n. 195); and by Goudot, at Bogota in New Granada. The 
leaves are 3 inches long, and 14 inch broad, on a petiole 3 inch long; pe- 
duncle 1-2 flowered, the calyx is somewhat pentagonous, and deeply cleft 
into 5 thin greenish triangular segments, with ciliate margins; the corolla 
is slightly pubescent ; the filaments are wholly free to the base, where they 
have a short triangular dilatation, which is ciliate, above this they are 
slender and quite glabrous; the anthers are cordate at base, apiculate at 
summit.
