SCHOMBURGk'S GUIANA PLANTS. 131 



with the flowers, stamens, and styles of M. vestita, of which it 

 appears to be a variety. 



TlMACE^. 



674. CorchoYus argutus, Huinb. et Kunth DC. Frodr. v. i. 



p. 50t Moist savannahs, British Guiana; Schomburgk, 



n. 675. 



Gardner's n. 936, from Pernambuco, is C. tortipes, St Hil. 

 My specimens of his n. 935, from Pernambuco, and n. 1475, 

 from Ceara, both belonging to Corchorus, are too young to 

 determine the species. 



675. Triumfetta eriocarpa, St Hil. Fl. Bras. Merid. v. i. 

 p. 288.— British Guiana; Schomhurgk, n. 271. Rio Janeiro; 

 Gardner, n. li. Bahia; Salzmann. — The plant appears to 

 be sufFrutescent. 



676. Luhea ni/escens, St Hil. Fl. Bras. Merid. v. i. 

 p. 293, t, 58. — Anna-y, British Guiana; Schomhurgk. — This 

 answers in every respect to St Hilaire's figure and descrip- 

 tion, except that the pedicels are not so long, and the fim- 

 briate appendages of the staminal tube are rather shorter 

 even than in the figure. These appendages are stated in the 

 text to be an inch and a half long ; but from the figure it is 

 evident, that by a misprint, the word is sesquipollicarem, in- 

 stead of semipollicarem. Martius's L. grandijiora has the 

 foliage and habit of this species; but is at once known by the 

 cordate leaflets of the external calyx. 



Gardner's n. 1477, from Ceara, is L. paniculata, Mart.: 

 and n. 2490, from Piauhy, is a species very closely allied to 

 it, if not the same. 



677. Mollia speciosa. Mart. Nov. Gen. el Sp. — British Gui- 

 ana ; Schomhurgk, n. 566, in the later sets. 



678. M. glahrescens (sp. n.); foliis ovali-ellipticis acumi- 

 natis leviter serrato-crenatis utrinque ramulisque glabris, 

 ovario oblongo in stylum acuminato. — Arbor 40 — 50-pedalis. 

 Folia minora tenulora quam in M. speciosa, 3 — 4-pollicaria, 

 basi rotundata, trinervia, reticulata, venosa, subtus in axillis 

 venarum hinc inde barbellata. Pedicelli e tuberculo axillari
