terete above^ erect, 11 lines long; the anthers, with somewhat 



mucronate apex, are4hnes long, 1 line broad, adnate to a linear 



dorsal connective continuous with the filament ; the ovarium is 



conical, seated upon a thick fleshy five-lobed gland, with emar- 



ginated rounded lobes ; the style is erect, smooth, thickened and 



hollow towards the summit ; the stigma consists of two oblong, 



adpressed, semiterete fleshy lobes, lined inside with green viscous 

 glands.

This species bears much resemblance in the form and size of 

 its leaves to /. Hookeriana^ but its inflorescence is very different, 

 its calyx not half the size, the sepals less acuminate, the corolla 

 longer and more contracted in its lower half. The leaves are 

 5 inches long, 2^ inches broad, on a petiole | to | inch in length ; 

 they have a silvery lustre beneath, although covered somewhat 

 more sparsely with yellow stellate or rather brachiate tomentum. 

 The racemes, almost fasciculate at the apex of the branch, are 

 scarcely more than f of an inch in length ; the pedicels are | inch 

 long in flower, 1 inch long in fruit ; the sepals are little more 

 than I inch long and f inch broad at base, and do not increase in 

 size, but remain erect, separated, coriaceous, and embracing the 

 ovate beny, | inch long, ^ inch diameter, crowned by the long, 

 slender, persistent style ; the seeds are 2 lines long, nearly a line 

 in breadth, and they have afibrded the structural features given 

 in the generic character*. 



Sarcophysa. 



Among the plants collected by Goudot and Purdie in New 

 Granada, is one that nearly approaches Solandra, Juanulloa and 



* A representation of this species with sectional details, and an analysis 

 of the flower oft/. Ilooleriana, are shown in plate 46,
