1. Trechoneetes aciniata. Jaborosa laciniata (Olim. Nob. Trav.

This curious plant is evidently allied to the Jaborosa group 
of Solanee, but it has an aspect very different from the others, 
both in its general pubescence and more lurid hue, as well as 
by its broad, duller, campanular flowers, with stamens quite 
free and insertedin the base of the corolla. The stem is fusiform, 
extending horizontally in the stony soil, from which radiate 
several half prostrate branching stems, whose axils are distinct 
although approximate; the leaves are sometimes alternate, 
sometimes subopposite; the petiole is fleshy, round below, 
flattened or caniculate above, with broad decurrent margins, 
and about 2 in. long ; the blade is about 2 or 2} in. long, and 
1} in. broad at the extreme points ; they are deeply and some- 
what pinnately laciniate, the segments being rather narrow, 
somewhat parallel and roundish, the margin being sometimes 
entire, with a cuspidate apex, but more generally sharply 
toothed with intervening sinuosities; they are somewhat erect, 
covered with long soft pubescence, the hairs being composed 
of several broad articulations; the peduncles are about half 
the length of the petioles, and round ; the calyx is divided into 
five rather acute segments, very pubescent outside, glabrous 
within ; the corolla is broadly campanulate, the tube being 
sickly. pubescent on both sides; the lobes are ovate, acute, 
terminated at the apex by a somewhat terete woolly spur, the
