292 NOTES ON THE GENERA 
they had not however, like most of the specimens of that collection, any 
label indicative of the station, and may possibly have been from tropi- 
cal America. The leaf is much broader than in T. Guianensis, and the 
flowers are of the shape and size of those of T. ciliata, but borne on 
pedicels usually half a line long and much less hairy than in that spe- 
cies. The lobes of the corolla are all contracted at the base into claws 
nearly as long as themselves, the broad inner emarginate bicucullate 
petals are like those of 7. Guianensis, the narrow outer ones free, as low 
as the inner ones, shaped as in 7. ciliata, but the laminz broader at the 
base. The dise is unilateral and entire, but smaller than in Z. ciliata. 
3. T. ciliata, Gardn. in Hook. Ic. t. 466; foliis oblongis obovatisve 
obtusis supra glabris subtus presertim ad margines costamque dense 
sericeo-villosis, floribus subsessilibus, coroll lobis subeequilongis vix 
brevissime unguiculatis, exterioribus lanceolato-linearibus. : 
Found by Mr. Gardner in the province of Goyaz in Brazil. His 
specimens (n. 3087) are very satisfactory, and have enabled me to dis- 
sect more flowers than of any other species of the genus. I find the 
details given in the above-quoted plate very correct, except perhaps 
that the narrow entire lobes are abruptly narrowed at the base, espe- 
cially on one side, and the calycine lobes are more unequal than they 
are represented in the plate. : 
4. T. cucullata, sp. n.; foliis elongato-oblongis acuminatis glabris, 
floribus sessilibus, corolla tubo brevissimo, lobis subzequilongis - 
silibus, exterioribus lanceolato-oblongis.— Arbor gracilis, 20-pedalis. 
Folia 6-8 poll. longa, 2 poll. lata, oblique et obtuse acuminata, co- 
riacea, reticulato-venosa, glabra, petiolo 4—6 lin. longo. Flores ad 
apicem petioli densissime glomerati, sessiles, puberuli, virides, brac- 
teis parvis intermixti, in specimine vix perfecte evoluti. Sepala in- 
sequalia, interiora corollam eequantia. Corolle tubus brevior et lobi 
Superiores profundius bifidi evidentiusque cucullati quam in ceteris 
speciebus, sed forte in flore perfectiore congeneribus similiores eva- 
dunt. Stamina basi breviter monadelpha, coroll brevissime tantum 
adnata. Discus unilateralis, integer, ovario equilongus. Styli lobi 
3 reflexi. 
A slender tree found by Mr. Spruce in the forest near San Gabriel 
on the Rio Negro. The leaves and inflorescence very much resemble 
those of Stephanopodium Peruvianum as figured by Pæppig, but the 
structure of the flowers is totally different.
