118 REPORT ON THE PLANTS 
longifolia (Nov. Gen. et. Spec. vol. iii. p. 64, t. 271.) is said to have 
plaited wings to the fruit, and would, therefore, prove most probably 
to be a second species of — 
Lindackeria latifolia, sp. n.; glabra, foliis longe petiolatis late ovatis 
acuminatis integerrimis, racemis petiolo brevioribus  plurifloris, 
sepalis ovalibus, petalis (9) calycem subæquantibus caducissimis, 
filamentis hirtellis anthera longioribus.—Frutex 15-pedalis, ramis 
foliisque siccitate pallentibus. Folia 6—8-pollicaria, 4-5 poll. lata, 
petiolo 2-3-pollicari, tenuiter coriacea, concoloria, penninervia et 
reticulato-venosa. Racemi axillares, axi brevi a basi flgrifera. Bracteæ 
minute. Pedicelli pollicares, ad 14 lin. a basi artieulati. Alabastra 
clavata. Sepala 3, ovali-oblonga, concava, alba, patentia v. reflexa, 
diu persistentia, 5—6 lin. longa. Petala in alabastro a me aperto 
novem vidi, in floribus apertis fere omnia jam delapsa; alba, tenuia, 
oblique oblonga, obtusa, sepalis subbreviora. Stamina numerosa, 
toro dilatato inserta, in floribus masculis totum torum vestientia. 
Filamenta erecta, arcte approximata, columnam simulantia at non vere 
cohærentia, 2-21 lin. longa, pube brevi villosula. duthere lineares, 
1-11 lin. longæ, loculis summo apice discretis breviter bifidæ, basi 
et apice hirtellæ et ad rimas loculorum plus minus ciliolate. Ovarium 
in floribus hermaphroditis sessile, ovoideum, verrucosum et mox 
echinatum, glabrum, intus uniloculare, apice desinens in stylum - 
flexuosum staminibus longiorem leviter puberulum summo apice 
expansum in stigma minute 6-lobum. Placente in ovario tres, pa- 
rietales, ovulis numerosis. Fructus junior globosus, aculeis longis 
mollibus pyramidatis undique echinatus; maturum non vidi. 
. Among the Pará plants was a single specimen of the following 
additional and very distinct large-flowered species of the same genus: 
it was gathered at Tanaü in September 1849 :— 
Lindackeria pauciflora, sp. n.; glabriuscula, folis breviter petiolatis 
ovali- v. oblongo-elliptieis acuminatis, racemis 2-3-floris, pedicellis 
petiolum longe superantibus, sepalis orbiculatis, petalis (9) calycem 
superantibus, filamentis anthera multo brevioribus.—Frutex glaber 
v. partibus novellis minute puberulis. Folia majora, semipedalia, 
24 poll. lata, acumine abrupto angusto longiusculo, petiolo rarius 
semipollicem excedente. Racemorum axis brevis; pedicelli ultra- 
pollicares, prope basin articulati. Sepala alba, 5 lin. longa. Petala 
alba, anguste et oblique oblonga, pleraque acutiuscula, 6 lin. longa.
