—Insula Galapagos (Darwin). 
This is a very distinct species, with smooth elliptic leaves, 
34 in. long, 13 in. broad, with a channelled petiole 4 in. 
long; the flowers 3 or 4 in a fascicle, grow out of the 
cicatrices of the fallen leaves; the peduncle being 14 in. long, 
considerably thickened towards the summit; the calyx is 
about 3 lin. long, with short, unequal, rounded teeth ; the 
corolla is tubular, about 8 lines long.

HIMERANTHUS. 
The Jaborosa runcinata of Jussieu has very ‘properly been 
separated from the Jaborosa integrifolia, Comm. and consti- 
tuted as a new genus by Prof. Endlicher under the name of 
Himeranthus (Gen. Plant. n. 3860) ; but as that distinguished 
botanist probably had no opportunity of seeing the plant in 
its living state, his character is incomplete in some of its 
essential features. I therefore propose the following as its 
true limits, and annex the details of two other species that I 
met with, 
Himerantuvs, Endl. (char. reform.)—Calyz 5-fidus. Corolla 
hypogyna campanulato-tubulosa, limbo patenti 5-partito, 
estivatione plicato. Stamina 5 nunc fauci subsessiles, nunc 
e medio corollz orta, tubo hinc ad calcem lineolis totidem 
utringue pilis divergentibus notato; filamenta brevissima 
inferne subtenues, apice incrassati in connectivum magnum 
gibbum producta; anthere bilobee, dorso affixee, longitudi- 
naliter dehiscentes. Ovarium 2-loculare, placentis dissepi- 
mento adnatis, multi-ovulatis, Stylus simplex, apice per- 
foratus. Stigma clavatum, sub 2-5-lobum. Bacca calyce
