(1.) Loasa triloba, Juss.—Valparaiso, Matthews (N.

breve petiolatis, inferioribus parvis hastato-triangulari- 
bus grosse dentatis floralibus inferioribus subreniformi- 
orbiculatis 5-lobis lobis subaequalibus 1-2-dentatis, 
superioribus 5-lobislobis 1-9-dentatis medio productiore, * 
pedunculo foliis longiore in dichotomia, lobis calycinis 
oblongo-lanceolatis petala subzequantibus, fructibus 
conico-hemisphzericis, petalis dentes calycinos sequanti- 
bus.— Valparaiso? Cuming (N. 669.) Los Ojos de
