DORYSTIGMA. 
I am indebted to the kindness of Dr. Lindley for allowing 
me to examine and define several of the following Solanaceous 
plants, and I take this opportunity (April, 1848,) of repeating 
my obligations to Sir William Hooker for his liberal and kind 
permission to describe the many following new species which, 
during the last twelve months, I have found in his rich and ex- 
tensive Herbarium. 
In the Jaborosa group, and belonging to the genus above 
mentioned, whose elements were defined in the London Journal 
of Botany, vol. iv. p. 347, I have now to add a third species. 
3. Dorystigma crispa, n. sp.; caulibus plurimis, cæspitosis ; 
folis subfasciculatis, glaberrimis, carnosulis, irregulariter pinnati- 
fido-laciniatis, in petiolum longum alatum decurrentibus, laciniis 
latis brevibus, mucronato et sinuoso-dentatis, uninerviis, eveniis, 
sinubus crispato-undulatis, margine subrevolutis; floribus cum 
folis in collum fasciculatis, bracteis parvis, subulatis; corolla 
extus imo glabra, superne pubescente, intus fauce lanuginosa, limbi 
laciniis oblongis, obtusis, staminibus fere exsertis. — Bolivia 
v. 8. in herb. Lindley. (Bridges, 1846.) 
. This plant has very much the habit of the two species formerly 
described, the leaves much resembling those of D. squarrosa, 
(Illustr. So. Am. Plants, plate 6), being nine lines broad, the 
petiole is one inch and a quarter, the blade one inch and three - 
quarters, altogether three inches long; the peduncles six lines, 
and the corolla six lines in length. 
| SALPICHROMA. 
In order to harmonize better with the names of the two ap- 
proximate genera, Jochroma and Pæcilochroma, Y propose to sub-
