74 BOTANY OF THE VOYAGE OF THE SULPHUR. 
TRIGONIACEE. 
94. Triconia rugosa, sp. n., foliis petiolatis ovato-oblongis sublanceolatisve acuminatis basi 
rotundatis subrugosis supra glabris subtus niveo-tomentosis, floribus secus ramos paucos panicule 
congestis, capsulis ovatis——Columbia. 
Ramuli novelli subflavido-tomentosi, rami lana nivea laxa detergibili vestiti, demum glabrati. Folia 
3-5-pollicaria, bullato-rugosa, petiolo 3-4 lin. longo. Flores quam in 7’. vi//osa multo minores, majores tamen 
quam in 7. crotoncide. Sepala extus nivea. Stamina antherifera 5, sterilia 4-5. Glandule 2, obtuse. 
Capsula latitudine vix duplo longior, in speciminibus 8-9 lin. longa sed nondum matura. 
A very distinct species, allied on the one hand to 7’. nivea, and on the other 
to TZ’. crotonoides. 
MALPIGHIACER. 
95. Maurieuta retusa, sp. n., foliis brevibus ovatis ellipticisve obtusis vel emarginatis inte- 
gerrimis utrinque pilis malpighiaceis pubescentibus, umbellis paucifloris, calyce 7-8-glanduloso.—Isle 
of Puna, near Guayaquil. 
Species paucis notis differt a descriptione Jussiceana M. Galeottiane. Rami juniores pilis adpressis sericeis 
obtecti, subflavicantes, adulti glabrati. Folia majora 9-10 lin, longa, 5-7 lin. lata, omnia obtusa et seepius emar- 
ginata, pilis utrinque sparsis tenuibus medifixis raro simplicibus, in pagina superiore densioribus quam in infe- 
riore; glandulze nulle ; petiolus 1 lin. longus, dense pubescens ; stipulee minute setacee. Umbelle 2-4 flora. 
Pedunculi diversorum ordinum adpresso-pilosi, communis brevissimus subnullus, floriferi 1-13 lin. longi, cum 
pedicello 1-2 lin. longo articulati. Bracteee et bracteole minute. Calycis lacinize ovato-lanceolate, obtusius- 
cule, extus tomentose, 2 vel 3 basi biglandulose, 3 vel 2 uniglandulose. Petala calyce plus duplo longiora, 
suborbiculata, in floribus tamen examinatis a vermibus partim destructa. Stamina glabra, basi brevissime 
wate 3 antheree ovato-cordate. Ovaria in unicum glabrum coalita, singula dorso obscure costata. Styli 
ovario longiores, glabri, apice truncato dilatato triquetroque stigmatiferi. Fructus non suppetit. 
96. SticMarnyLivw ellipticum, Ad. Juss.? Malp. p. 125.—Panama to Guayaquil. 
There are a number of specimens in different states which may possibly 
belong to more than one species, but they are not sufficient to show any distinctive 
characters which are not very variable in this genus. The Panama specimens (in 
flower only) agree well with Kunth’s description. of the foliage and inflorescence, 
and with Jussieu’s notes on the flower. Among those from Guayaquil (in flower 
also), some are like the Panama ones, others have many-flowered umbels, the 
middle one sessile, the two lateral pedicellate, and the floral leaves like those of 
the stem. Others, again, from the Gulf of Fonseca in flower, and from Atacames 
in fruit, have the same many-flowered inflorescence, but the stem leaves are 
me more pointed, coriaceous, and shining. In all, the flowers appear to be 
arge.
