is less curved: the filaments are expanded below, but are 
not auriculate: it has the fleshy perigynous ring, and the 
annular dise, as well as the short tubular broad style and 
stigma of P. floribunda. Its flowers are odorous, which I do 
not remember to have noticed in the Organ Mountain species, 
and the lobes of the corolla want the rostrate apical appen- 
dage so conspicuous in that species.

A very distinct species remarkable for the length of its 
articulate glandular hairs. It forms a shrub about 4 feet 
high : its larger leaves are 31 in. long and 2 in. broad on a 
petiole 14 in. in length, the smaller leaves are 24 in. long and 
1 in. broad on a petiole 3 in. The raceme is 7 in. long : the 
calyx is 5-angled with broadish deep segments, very pubes- 
cent, and somewhat membranaceous: the corolla is very 
pubescent outside, smooth within, its segments being broad 
and acute: the stamens and pistillum resemble those of P. 
floribunda.
