130 BOTANY OF THE VOYAGE OF THE SULPHUR. 
Ramuli levissime striati, nequaquam angulati, pube brevissima sparsa subglandulosa. _Petioli communes 
2-3-pollicares, minute puberuli, plerique cirrho elongato simplici vel apice trifido terminati ; petioluli 1-1}-polli- 
cares. Foliola 3-4 poll. longa, circa 2 poll. lata, crassiuscule membranacea vel subcoriacea, venis subtus promi- 
nentibus reticulatis. Racemi in specimine folio breviores, 6-12-flori, rhachi flexuosa subglabra, bracteis minutis. 
Pedicelli 3-4 lin. longi, flexuoso-reflexi vel divaricati. Calyx 5 lin. longus, tubuloso-campanulatus, versus basin 
leviter canescens, apice submembranaceus, irregulariter fissus in labia duo quorum alterum latum obtusum, 
alterum bifidum lobis latis obtusis. Corolla sesquipollicaris, glabra, tubo basi tenui, mox in faucem campanu- 
latam ampliato, lobis 5 latis rotundatis. Stamina ad basin faucis inserta, corolla breviora, didynama absque 
rudimento quinti; antherarum loculi divaricati glabri. Discus hypogynus pulviniformis, latus. Ovarium 
oblongum glaberrimum. Stylus apice spathulato-dilatatus, bilamellatus, lamellis acutis intus stigmatosis. 
The specimens from Surinam, n. 334 of Hostmann’s collection, appear to 
belong to the same species, although the leaves are less cordate. 
531. Tasesura rosea, DC.? Prod. v. 9. p. 215.—Rami crassi et inflorescentia ZT’. fluviatilis ; 
foliola multo majora, crasso-coriacea, subtus lepidoto-punctata, glaucescentia. Corolle amplee, 
similis iis Tecome speciose, que verosimiliter cum pluribus Tecomis digitatifoliis, congener est 
Tabebuie fluviatilis —Nicoya. 
532. Tecoma Gaudichaudi, DC. Prod. v. 9. p. 223.—Guayaquil. 
533. Tecoma stans, Juss.—DC. Prod. v. 9. p. 224.—Acapulco, Panama. 
534, Crescentia cuneifolia, Gardn.—DC. Prod. v. 9. p. 246.—Columbia, probably cultivated. 
The specimens agree in every respect with those described by Gardner, from Brazil, where also it 
is cultivated only. 
535. CrEescENTIA obovata, sp. n., (Plate XLVI.) glabra, foliis alternis obovatis coriaceis, calyce 
tubuloso bifido superne extus impresse glandulifero, corolla limbo suberecto crenato vix lobato.— 
Isle of Gorgona, and island off the coast of Veragua. 
. Frutex elata. Rami crassiusculi, teretes vel primum obtuse angulati, cortice albido, ad basin innovationum 
squamulis numerosis brevibus acutis persistentibus instructi. Folia semipedalia, 3-4 poll. lata, brevissime 
acuminata, basi cuneata, subsessilia vel brevissime petiolata, crasso-coriacea, nitidula, costa media venisque 
primariis utrinsecus 10-12 subtus prominentibus. Pedicelli ad apices ramulorum 1-3 (vel plures ?), sesquipol- 
licares, erecti. Flores nutantes. Calyx 1} poll. longus, tubulosus, supra medium dilatatus, ante anthesin 
clavatus et clausus, per anthesin usque ad medium (vel rarius hine fere ad basin) in labia duo patentia fissus, 
coriaceus, glaber sed supra medium presertim in labio inferiore glandulis numerosis impressis notatus eas Adeno- 
calymne fere referentibus. Corolla 23-pollicaris, glabra, tubo elongato superne ampliato, limbo campanulato 
rarius breviter Jobato, sed (in floribus suppetentibus) crenis numerosis excisa. Stamina corolla breviora, 
didynama cum rudimento quinti. Antherarum loculi lineari-oblongi, divergentes. Discus hypogynus, crassus, 
pulviniformis. Ovarium oblongum, obtusum, bisulcatum, uniloculare, placentis 2 tenuibus parietalibus multi- 
ovulatis. Stylus apice clavatus, concavus, brevissime bilobus, intus stigmatosus. 
This fine species differs somewhat from other Crescentie in the form both of 
the calyx and corolla, but not sufficiently so to warrant the establishing it as a 
distinct species, especially as the calyx appears to be sometimes divided nearly 
to the base, as in other Crescentigz, and the stamens and ovary are precisely the 
same.
