2 lin. longee, interiores paullo minores. Calyx per anthesin 3 lin. longus, lobis divergehtibus acutiusculis raro 
bidentatis, carinis dorso longiuscule et dense pilosis, demum bipartitus, undique puberulus. Corolle infundi-

712. Lrppra myriocephala, Cham. Schl.—Walp. Rep. 4. p. 52.—Consul’s garden at Puna, near 
Guayaquil. 
This is the same form as Galeotti’s Vera Cruz specimens, n. 775. The speci- 
mens referred to this species by Hooker and Arnott, Bot. Beech., p. 305, belong 
to a very distinct and probably unpublished species. 
713. Lantana salviefolia, Jacq.?—Walp.? Rep. 4. p. 64.—Consul’s garden, Puna, near 
Guayaquil. 
714. Lanrana, near L. érifolia, Linn. and L. celtidifolia, Humb. et Kunth, but less hairy with 
larger bracts.—Realejo. 
715. Camara vulgaris.—Lantana camara, Linn.—Acapulco, Realejo. 
716. Camara tiliefolia— Lantana tiliefolia, Cham. Schl. Linnea, 7. p. 122.—Guayaquil. 
717, 718. Camara, sp. from Tepic, and another from the Gulf of Fonseca, neither in a state 
to determine accurately. 
719, Duranta Plumieri, Jacq.—Walp. Rep. 4. p. 79.—Tumaco, Salango, Atacames.—Several 
varieties, especially as to the form of the leaf, but the specimens mostly very much injured.

Pedro.

rotundatis, cymis in capitula confertis in axillis superioribus subsessilibus, calyce obovoideo apice 
breviter fisso quam corolla paullo breviore.—Salango. 
Rami teretes vel ad nodos compressi, pube subferruginea dense vestiti. Folia breviter petiolata, 8-10 poll. 
longa, subcaudato-acuminata, integerrima, infra medium 3-33 poll. lata, utrinque molliter villosa, superiora 
minora angustiora densius lanato-villosa. Pedunculi axillares, oppositi, 1-2 lin. longi; cyme multiflore 
eapitula formant subglobosa. Bractew subulate, calyces gequantes vel exteriores longiores. Calyces in 
cyma subsessiles, 2-23 lin. longi, basi contracti, superne inflati, dense villosi, apice in dentes 2-4 irregulariter 
et breviter fissi. Corolla vix calycem excedens, infundibuliformis, tubo brevi intus extusque tomentoso, 
limbo campanulato glabro semi-4-fido, lobis oblongis obtusis, estivatione valde imbricatis, uno exteriore.
