racemo e bifurcatione, folio breviori, floribus secundis,

A species closely allied to P. pendula, and very near P. 
betacea, but with much smaller leaves: the larger ones mea- 
sure 7 inches in length, and are 54 in. broad, on a petiole 13 
in.: the smaller being 43 in. long, and 3} in. broad, on a - 
petiole of the same length of the basal lobes 1 in. long: the 
calyx is pubescent, 5-angular, and somewhat campanulate, 
with 5 short lobes: the corolla is tomentous outside, with 
woolly margins: the stamens are somewhat long, with 4 
thickened fleshy, somewhat scabrid connective: the style is 
considerably swollen in the middle, and the stigma cup- 
shaped: the berry is of the size of that of P. betacea.

mss :—tota pubescens: fruticosa, foliis geminis, altero 
minori, 5-nerviis, cordato-ovatis: racemis folio multo 
longioribus, pedicellis articulatis, deciduis.—Brazilia in

In habit this species much resembles P. floribunda; but 
the leaves and stems are covered with long close hairs: the. 
larger leaves are 34 to 4 in. long, and 24 to 23 in. broad, on 4 
petiole 1 in. to 13 in. long: the smaller leaves measure 24; by 
2 in. on a petiole 1 in. long: the raceme is 4i in. long: it 
probably belongs to this section. >
