of Santarem, resembles much in foliage what I take to be the T. levis, 
Aubl., but the branches of the panicle are very much longer, and the 
flowers several together in clusters growing out into little racemes, 
and no larger than in 7. crotonoides. Like most other species, it is a 
shrub with more or less twining branches. I have it also from Guiana, 
being n. 981 of Sir Robert Schomburgk’s second journey, or n. 1251 
of Richard Schomburgk, although apparently overlooked by Grisebach, 
in his account of the tropical American Trigoniæ of the Berlin herba- 
rium, in the Linnea, vol. xxii. : 
Trigonia parviflora, sp. n.; folis ovali-ellipticis oblongisve adultis 
utrinque glabris nitidulis, panicule terminalis tomentose ramulis 
elongatis, floribus parvis numerosis, fasciculis demum racemiformibus, 
capsula oboyoideo-triquetra.—Frutex biorgyalis, ramulis plus minus 
scandentibus, novellis tomentosis mox glabratis. Folia 2—3-polli- 
caria, pleraque breviter acuminata, obtusa v. acutiuscula, novella 
interdum lana parcissima hine inde conspersa, et ad venas pilis 
paucis hirtella, adulta glabra, tenuiter coriacea, nitidula, penninervia 
et reticulato-venosa. Petioli 1-2 lin. longi, linea transversa con- 
nexi Stipule parvæ, subulatæ, caducissimæ. Panicula terminalis, — 
sspe pedalis, basi foliata, ramis 3-6-pollicaribus, fere a basi flori- 
bundis.  asciculi v. racemuli 3-10-florij axi demum 2-4 lin. | 
longa. Bractee acute, pedicello lineari breviores. Flores vix linea 
longiores, iis Z. crotonoidis simillimi nisi minores. Petalum tamen 
anticum ad marginem sacci non ciliatum ut in icone (Fl. Bras. Mer. 
- t. 105) depictum, et placentatio mihi videtur potius parietalis quam 
axilis dicenda. Ovwla enim non angulo ipso centrali loculorum 
inserta, sed juxta angulum eentralem ad latera placentarum (dis- | 
sepimenta constituentium), in axi vix cohserentium. Capsula 4lin. — 
longa, extus tomentella, apice truncata et late triangulata, fere - 
triloba. ; A 
The Malvaceæ are but few. Among them is a single specimen of a 
narrow-leaved very hairy variety of Pavonia cancellata, Cav., very 
different in aspect from the two or three specimens distributed from 
Pará, which are intermediate, as it were, between the commoner forms 
and the P. modesta, Mart. ; and a few specimens of a variety of Wissa- — 
dula parviflora, with golden yellow flowers. This is the Abutilon par- — 
viflorum, B luteum, A. St. Hil., and is closely allied to #7. hirsuta, :
