SOLANACER. 
129. Soranum (Leprophora) Hindsianum, sp. n., undique tomento denso stellato subleproso 
flavicans, aculeis rectis, foliis ovato-vel oblongo-lanceolatis obtusis integerrimis, pedunculis lateralibus 
brevibus 1-3-floris, corolle extus floccoso-tomentose lobis latissime ovatis——Bay of Magdalena. 
Frutex divaricatus, ramulis teretibus. Aculei sparsi, recti, acerosi, in ramulis seepe 2-3 lin, longi, in 
petiolis calycibusque parvi, rari. omentum oculo nudo subleprosum, sub lente stellatum, multo densius quam 
in S. elwagnifolio et S. leproso, in ramulis rufescenti-flavicans, in foliorum pagina inferiore albido-flavescens, 
interdum micans, in pagina superiore laxius, viridi-flavescens, in floribus subfloccosum. Folia longiuscule petio- 
lata, pleraque 1}-2-poll. longa, prope basin 6-9 lin. lata, margine plana, integra, basi rotundata truncata 
vel rarius subcordata seepe ineequalia, juniora in axillis breviora obtusiora. Peduculi laterales, brevissimi, 
vulgo triflori. Pedicelli floriferi 2-3 lin. longi. Calyx turbinato-campanulatus, 5-angulatus, dentibus 
acuminatis mollibus tubo suo per anthesin brevioribus, post anthesin acutis. Corolla circa pollicem diametro ; 
laciniz. vix ad medium limbi separate, 6 lin. late, obtusee cum mucronula parva. Pedicelli fructiferi paullo 
elongati. Calycis fructiferi lacinie lanceolate, 5-6 lin. longee. Bacca globosa, 4-5 lin. diametro, Semina 
orbiculata, plana, nitida, immarginata. 
Allied on the one hand to the Peruvian and Chilian S. leprosum and eleagni- 
folium, but with a coarse and thicker tomentum, and differently formed leaves and 
corolla, and on the other to a Texas plant (n. 266 of Drummond’s 2nd Collection), 
which is probably as yet unpublished, but this appears to be scarcely shrubby, it 
is almost unarmed, has the leaves sharper and usually undulate or sinuate, the 
peduncles longer, &c., than in our plant. The S. obtusifolium of Humb. and 
Kunth, a Mexican species unknown to me, is also probably nearly allied, but the 
description does not quite agree with ours in several respects, especially as to the 
form of the corolla.
