THE FLORA OF SOUTH AMERICA. 361 
centi-mollibus, supra pilis articulatis sparse adspersis, 
pedunculis filiformibus, fructiferis deflexis.— Brasilia, Prov. 
Rio de Janeiro et Min. Geraes. 
I have this species from Cape Frio and Villa Ricca in the 
. province of Minas Geraes. Its leaves are nearly 6 inches 
. long and 2 inches broad; the racemes are pubescent and 
about as long as the leaf, with secund flowers, the pedicels 
being articulated a little above their base. The calyx is 
pubescent; but the corolla is glabrous, and of much more 
. Membranaceous structure than any of the former species 
. With lanceolate segments: the stamens are more slender, 
. Nearly straight; the filaments are united upon a somewhat 
. membranous perigynous ring, and although not figshy, are 
_ dilated and expanded in a bilobed form below the anthers: 
. the connective is thin, flat, tapering above; the anther cells 
are turgid, burst longitudinally, and as in P. floribunda are 
. constricted near the summit by a collar, which is surmounted 
_ by an emarginate globular apex, that opens by two distinct 
— pores. The ovarium is smaller, and together with the style 
. and stigma, is quite glabrous: the style is rather slender, 
. thickening toward the summit, and is as long as the stamens ; 
the stigma, though much smaller, resembles that of the 
. before-mentioned species.*

_ This species very closely resembles the last, but its leaves

: much smaller, pubescent on both sides, and nearly equi-
