tomentosis.—Nova Granada. 
The leaves are said to be about 10 inches long and 4 inches 
broad, on a petiole an inch in length; the calyx does not 
measure aline; the corollais white, nearly an inch long with 
a narrow slender tube, the lobes of the border being ovate, 
and 1-nerved; the stamens are very short, and placed in the 
middle of the tube of the corolla, the lateral appendages 
equalling in length the intermediate antheriferous filament ; 
the style is much longer than the corolla; the berry is glo- 
bose, glabrous, about the size of a pea.

This is described to be a shrub 6 or 8 feet high. The 
branches are flexuose, quite smooth with internodes scarcely 
an inch distant, and a single stout, sharp pointed, divaricate 
spine in each axil, 2 inches in length, the older ones being 
bare and sometimes again spiny; the younger ones bearing 
leaves and flowers. The leaves are smooth, fleshy, rounded 
at the apex, and tapering at base into the petiole, they are 9 
lines in length and 2% lines wide ; the peduncles are 4 lin. 
long ; the calyx at first slightly pubescent, is urceolate, with 
5 projecting ribs which terminate in as many short teeth, with 
a mucronulate woolly apex. The corolla is broader and about 
the length of the last species, being 10 lines long, smooth, of 
a crimson colour, having a border of 5 short, rather erect 
lobes, with floccose margins, and a narrow intermediate pli- 
cature with tomentose edges and asmall erect tooth in the 
centre. The crimson filaments are adnate by a central line 
to the base of the tube of the corolla for one third of its 
length, the upper part being wholly free, the lateral appen- 
dages being short, acute, and only xsth part of the length of
