filiform, measuring sixteen lines, and the peduncle eight lines, 
the calyx four lines, the tube of the corolla sixteen lines, with five 
reflexed, short, ovate segments of one line and a half; the berry 
is about seven lines long and four lines diameter.*

The above named plants are those which I had referred, on the 
occasion before quoted, to the species last described, they will, 
however, be seen to be evidently difierent : their leaves measure 
nine lines in length, seven lines in breadth, the petiole being 
about four lines, the peduncle and calyx each three lines, the tube 
of the corolla six lines, and its border about two lines.t 
6. Salpichroma #istis, (n. sp.): humilis, suffruticosa, ramis 
flexuosis, subdichotomis, nudis, striato-rugosis, ramulis tenuis- 
simis, brevibus; foliis geminatis minoribus, obovatis, apice sub- 
acutis, basi obtusatis, in petiolum planum caniculatum decurren- 
tibus, carnosulis, eveniis, utrinque glanduloso-pubescentibus ; 
floribus solitariis, pedicellatis, nutantibus : calyce subglabro pro- 
funde 5-partito, laciniis lineari-subulatis, acutis; corolla tubulosa, 
tubo imo latiore glabro, staminibus styloque inclusis glabris.

Having seen other specimens of the above plant, I am now 
enabled to offer it as a very distinct species. Tt appears to be a 
very diminutive shrub, of stunted Alpine growth, with short tor-
