168 BOTANY OF THE VOYAGE OF THE SULPHUR. 
culatis densissimis, bracteis apice subpeltatis glabriusculis, stigmatibus staminibusque tribus.— 
Isle of Gorgona. 
Ramuli obsolete trigoni. Folia 10 poll. longa, 5 poll. lata, petiolo crasso vix 3 lin. longo; coste fere 
omnes infra medium folii a costa media divergentes, subtus valde prominentes. Punctz pellucide: subtilissime. 
Amenta florifera vix semipollicaria, floribus confertissimis annulatim simulque spiraliter dispositis. Stigmata 
recurva, 
This species is very distinct from any I am acquainted with, and is allied on 
the one hand to Miquel’s section Churumayu, on the other to Hemipodium. 
Plate LIV. fig. 1. section of the flowering spike ; fig. 2. flower and bract ; fig. 3. section of the 
ovary; fig. 4. side view of a portion of the spike in fruit; fig. 5. bract and berry; all magnified. 
The fruit represented in the two last figures is not yet ripe, but appears to have attained nearly its 
full size. 
JULIFLORE. 
816. Myriocarpa stipitata, gen. nov. Urticacearum (Plate LV.)—Tumaco. 
Cuar. Gen. Flores dioici. Masculi ignoti. Foeminei: Perigonium bifoliolatum, foliolis parvis 
patentibus vel interdum (additis 2 foliolis minutis) 4-partitam, Ovarium compressum. Stylus 
unicus, simplex, ab apice ultra medium hine crasse papilloso-stigmatosus. Achznium lenticulare, 
marginatum, stylo coronatum. Semen erectum. Albumen parcum. Cotyledones ovate. Radi- 
cula brevis, supera.—Arbores. Folia alterna ovata, basi trinervia et pennivenia, supra pilis appressis 
eleganter stellato-radiantibus vix nisi sub lente conspicuis obtecta. Cymz axillares, dichotome, 
pedunculo communi brevi, ramulis paucis ultimis simplicibus longissimis pendulis, floribus nume- 
rosissimis secus ramos ultimos laxe spicatis. 
M. stipitata, foliis subtus glabriusculis, ovario acheenioque longiuscule stipitatis—Ramuli crassiusculi, 
pube brevissima canescentes, mox glabrati. Squame gemmas obtegentes (an stipule?) lanceolate, 4-5 lin. 
longe, rufescentes, extus canescentes, cito deciduz. Folia petiolata, ovata, semipedalia, 3-4 poll. lata, supra 
demum bullato-rugosula, breviter acuminata, margine grosse crenata, basi rotundata ; costa media et vene 
primarie utrinsecus 4-5 (quarum 2 inferiores opposite validiores) subtus prominentes, hinc inde sparse hirtelle ; 
venule transverse anastomosantes et hinc inde in punctas pellucidas convergentes; pili brevissimi nonnisi 
ope lentis conspicui, in pagina inferiore rari sparsi, In pagina superiore ereberrimi, arcte appressi et a punctis 
pellucidis hine inde stellato-radiantes, Pedunculi communes 1-8 lin. longi, bis terve 2-3-chotomi; rami 
primarii breves, ultimi sepe pedales secus totam longitudinem floribus parvis creberrimis onusti. Perigonii 
foliola (seu bractew ?) minima, lineari-lanceolata, patentia, apice recurva, sub fructu persistentia et immutata, 
sepius 2 subequalia, additis interdum 2 multo minoribus. Ovarium stipite suo subbrevius, pilis paucis 
marginalibus hispidum. Stylus ovario longior, a tertio circiter parte usque ad apicem crasse papillosum. 
Acheenium cum stipite suo vix semilinea longius, lenticulare, marginibus incrassatis et pilis paucis hispidis 
a faciebus glabris chartaceis facile secedentibus, stylo persistente terminatis. Semen minutum, ovatum, 
compressum.
