SOUTH AMERICAN BOTANY. 355 
with a smaller and very rotate corolla of much thinner texture. 
The leaves from the figure above quoted, are two inches and a 
quarter long, one inch and five-eighths broad, with a petiole about 
three lines in length; the peduncle is about one inch and a 
quarter long: the corolla is one inch in length, and one inch and 
a half broad across the margin.

pulverulenta. — Prov. Chachapoyas Peruviæ. v. s. in herb. meo 
(Mathews). 
Although intermediate with the foregoing and following 
species, it is manifestly distinct from both. Its leaves are three 
inches and a quarter long by one inch and a quarter broad, with 
a petiole three quarters of an inch long. About six or eight 
flowers are closely aggregated on the very short, young branchlets, 
and are mixed with young leaves: the peduncles are nine lines 
long, and are much thickened at the apex: the calyx is short, 
tubular, smooth, and with the peduncle, is of a dark, red colour, 
its margin being membranaceous, and unequally split into five, 
short, rounded teeth. The corolla is one inch long, and nine or © | 
ten lines in diameter on the ciliate margin, which is sinuately 
five-angular, very slightly pulverulent, and nearly glabrous out- 
side; almost smooth within the mouth, but pubescent in the 
lower and more contracted portion: the filaments are slightly 
pubescent, with long, spreading, articulate hairs, are somewhat 
unequal in length, scarcely more than half the length of the 
corolla, and are slightly dilated at base. The ovarium and style 
are glabrous, the latter being the length of the stamens: the 
stigma is clavately bilobed.
