3. Salpichroa jirsuta. Atropa hirsuta, Meyen (Reise um die 
Erde, 1, 466). Nees ab Esenb. (Nov. Act. 19, Suppl. 1, 389) ; 
caule suffruticoso, ramosissimo, diffuso; foliis geminis, 
subcordato-ovatis, longe petiolatis, calycibusque profunde 
5-partitis, hirsutis; corolla tubulosa, antheris cum styli 
apice exsertis.—Peruvia, circa Pisacomam, altitudine 15,000 
ped. 
This appears to be the same plant, of which many speci- 
mens exist in the herbarium of Sir William Hooker from 
various localities, viz: 
Pichincha (Jameson, n. 32), Pichincha (id. n. 301), Colum- 
bia (Hartweg, n. 1311). In these the stem is 4-angular, 
flexuose; the leaves are solitary, geminate, and ternate, from 
$ to 1 inch long, and 4 to 9 lines wide; the petiole is nearly 
as long as the leaf, slender, and caniculate; the internodes 
are about the length of the leaves; the flowers are solitary 
and lateral; the corolla about ten lines long, tubular, of a 
greenish yellow colour, glabrous, having oblong obtuse lobes, 
with ‘floccose margins; the oval berry is terminated by the 
persistent glabrous style. Andes of Peru (Md‘Lean), where the 
leaves are more ovate, nearly glabrous above, pubescent 
beneath, the margins being somewhat crenate. Andes of 
Quito (Jameson, n. 125), of more stunted growth, a flexuose 
stem, presenting many short knotty leafless internodes ; 
leaves ternate, barely 3 to 4 lines long, 2 to 3 lines broad, 
petiole 3 to 5 lines long. Bogota (Goudot), very near the last ; 
the branches are somewhat more divaricate, and of a darker 
reddish colour.

axillis annotinis nodosis; ramulis pubescentibus ; foliis 
utrinque glabriusculis, geminis ternisque, equalibus, sub- 
membranaceis, elliptico-oblongis, basi rotundatis, in petio- 
lum gracilem decurrentibus, apice subacuminatis, margine 
ciliatis ; floribus solitariis lateralibus; corolla tubulosa, 
calyce 3plo longiori, fauce contracta, lobis acutiusculis, re- 
flexis, margine velutinis.—Purruchuco, Peruvie. v. s. in
