FLORA OF SOUTH AMERICA. 363 



lanceolatis integerrimis acuminatis corolke tubo triplo brevio- 

 ribus. — British Guiana, Schomburgk, 2d coll. n. 125 (78) and 

 843 (1425). 



Folia petiolata, 3-5-pollicaria, cujusve paris seepe insequa- 

 lia, membranacea, crenata. Pedunculi communes 1-6 lin. 

 longi, 1-7-flori. Pedicelli semi-pollicares, bracteis brevibus 

 linearibus subtensi. Calycis segmenta viridia, ovato-lanceo- 

 lata, acute acuminata, 5-7 lin. longa. Corollce tubus 15 lin. 

 longus, extus pilosiusculus, medio parum ventricosus, ad 

 faucem leviter contractus; lobi 5, patentes, rotundati, inee- 

 quales, sed in flore unico a me examinato partim destructi. 

 Stamina 2 prope basin tubi, 2 altius inserta, filamentis om- 

 nino liberis ; quinti rudimentum nullum. Glandulee desunt. 

 Fructus globosus, vix carnosus, extus villosus, bivalvis, 

 valvulis integris medio placentiferis ; placentae latae, dorso 

 affixae, utrinque seminiferee. Semina creberrima, fusiformia, 

 funiculo longo subdilatato appensa, testa crassa spiraliter 

 fibrosa, albumine parco v. nullo. In most respects this plant 

 appears to agree with the Besleria Guadalupensis of De Can- 

 dolle, which is most probably also an Episcia.

 limbus patens subeequaliter 5-lobus. Stamina supra basin
