pedunculatis; corollis pubescentibus, staminibus breviter 
exsertis.—Rio de Janeiro et in Insulis Antillanis. 
This species, which is widely disseminated throughout 
tropical South America, is considered by Schlechtendahl and 
_ others as identical with the three following; but as it differs in 
. many respects, I have kept it distinct. The leaves are more 
ginibus floccosis; antheris lineari-oblongis, subinclusis,—Paramo de 
Quindui, Nova Granada (Goudot), v. s. in Herb. Hooker. 
The leaves are 54 in. long and 14 in. broad, on a petiole 1 in. long, with 
many divergent parallel veins. The stalk of the umbel does not exceed 
3 lin., the calyx 3 lin., on a pedicel of 9 lin. long ; the corolla seems of a 
crimson colour, the tube slightly curved, about 14 in. long and 4 lin, broad ; 
the filaments are adnate to the base of the corolla for the length of 6 lin. 
where they are tomentous ; they then become free, are pubescent below, 
slender and glabrous upwards, and of a crimson colour; the anthers are 
half exserted. T : i

‘With Sir Wm. Hooker's kind permission I add here a new species of 
Mr. Bentham's beautiful genus lochroma, in addition to the three species 
enumerated in the Bot, Reg. 1845, tab. 20. 
4. Iochroma macrocalyz (sp. nov.) ; Suffruticosa ; foliis rhomboideo-ovatis, 
utrinque molliter pubescentibus, subtus pallidis; floribus umbellato- 
fasciculatis ; calyce tubo magno, ventricoso, ore constricto, 5-dentato, 
2-lobo, lobo altero 3-dentato ; corolla magna, speciosa, cyanza, hirtella, 
staminibus inclusis. (Tas. XIII, XIV).— Quito, in vallem Lloz (Hali). 
v. 8. in herb. Hooker. 
This is a very handsome species, with large elliptic leaves, of a some- 
what rhomboidal form, broader above the middle, and tapering gradually - 
to the petiole, which is 1 inch long; they are 54 in. long and 3 in. broad, 
.  Winutely punctulate above, with a few scattered downy hairs on each side ; 
. the umbels are sessile in flower, pedunculated in fruit ; the calyx is 13 in. 
long, 5 lines in diameter in the mouth, and swelling in the middle to 9 lin. ; 
the corolla is long, tubular, and somewhat curved, 2$ to 25 in. long, of a 
`“ dark purple colour,” its border is much expanded, its 5 lobes having floc- 
cose and ciliato-erose margins, with a broad intervening plicature between 
_ tach, which is a character common to the other species, Another feature 
. Seems to belong to all the species of this genus, the upper surface of the 
leaves is covered with very minute raised dots,
