$ to 1 inch long, and 4 to 9 lines wide; the petiole is nearly 
as long as the leaf, slender, and caniculate; the internodes 
are about the length of the leaves; the flowers are solitary 
and lateral; the corolla about ten lines long, tubular, of a 
greenish yellow colour, glabrous, having oblong obtuse lobes, 
with floccose margins; the oval berry is terminated by the 
persistent glabrous style. Andes of Peru (M*Lean), where the 
leaves are more ovate, nearly glabrous above, pubescent 
beneath, the margins being somewhat crenate. Andes of 
Quito (Jameson, n. 125), of more stunted growth, a flexuose 
stem, presenting many short knotty leafless internodes; 
leaves ternate, barely 3 to 4 lines long, 2 to 3 lines broad, 
petiole 3 to 5 lines long. Bogota (Goudot), very near the last; 
the branches are somewhat more divaricate, and of a darker 
reddish colour.

A very distinct species, both in the form of the leaf and the 
shape of the corolla; the leaves are 13 inch long, 7 to 9 lines 
broad, the petiole, which is slender and caniculate, being 
I inch long; the lobes of the calyx are narrow, almost linear, 
and.slightly hairy; the berry is red, of an oval shape, $ inch 
long, £ inch in diameter; the seeds are flattened, with a hairy 
testa resembling that recorded in the following section.
