In the gapo of the Eio Negro, near Barra ; aromatic when bruised. 

 It is evidently allied to C. suavis, H.B.K., but readily distinguished 

 by the long hairs with which it is clothed, besides the narrower leaves, 

 etc.

On the Lago de Quiriquiry, near Obidos. It is called Cajttcara by 

 the Brazilians. I have not seen Klotzsch's Cleodora Sellowiana, but 

 the generic characters appear to be applicable to the present species.
