 and longer sepals and the larger utricle.

 late to elliptic-spatulate, 4-11 mm. long: sepals ovate, becoming fully 1 mm. long, 

 glabrous: utricle included. — Differs from A. Baldivinii in glabrous and larger calyx 

 with its scarcely cuspidate sepals and the eciliate leaf -blades.

 sometimes arborescent and becoming 6 or 7 m. tall, the stem and branches greenish- 

 purple: leaf -blades lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, 7-34 cm. long: berries 10-12 mm. 

 wide, their length greater than the length of their stalks. — Differs from P. decandra 

 in the permanently erect panicles and the short flower-stalks.
