SOUTH AMERICAN PLANTS. 37 
and half an inch in diameter, but without doubt it grows to a 
much larger size. 
3. Pionandra ciliata (n. sp.) :—pubescens ; foliis geminis, 
altero minori, lanceolatis, utrinque attenuatis, vel basi 
obtusioribus, seepe ineequilateris, apice caudato-acuminatis 
margine denticulatis, dense piloso-ciliatis, supra sparse pi- 
losis, subtus tomentoso-pubescentibus, pilis articulatis : 
racemis secundis, folio brevioribus: bacca magna,—Rio de 
Janeiro, Serra Organensi. 
This species is very distinct from the two former, and 
approaches more in the form and size of its leaves to the 
Solanum capsicoides, Mart. which also belongs to this genus. 
I did not find it in flower, but from the resemblance of 
its habit to those above described, I imagine it will be 
found to belong to this section. The berry, though far from 
mature, measures nearly 14 in length and 3 inch in diameter. 
4. Pionandra fragrans. Solanum fragrans Hook. Bot. 
Mag. tab. 3684.—Arborescens : foliis geminis, 5-nerviis, 
inzequalibus, ovatis, majori basi sub-elliptico, altero cor- 
dato, integerrimis, glaberrimis, supra lucidis, albo-punctu- 
latis, infra argenteis, marginibus paulo incrassatis : racemi 
floribus secundis, pedicellis inferioribus maxime elongatis : 
corolla late campanulata, profunde 5-partita, staminibus 
geniculatis, stigmate dilatato, concavo—Guiana. v. 8. in. 
herb. Hooker. 
From Sir Wm. Hooker’s excellent figure of this species, it 
will be scen how closely it approaches P. floribunda in its 
general habit, and in the size of its leaves, one of which only 
is here cordate. The racemes are 4 inches long, arising 
from the forks of the dichotomous branchlets, the pedicels 
are unequal in length and articulate : the calyx is somewhat. 
pentagonous, with triangular lobes and ciliate margins: the 
segments of the corolla are lanceolate as in P. capsicoides. 
5. Pionandra diploconos. Witheringia diploconos Mari. 
Gen. et spec. 3.77, tab, 229 :—fruticosa, glabra : foliis sub 5- 
nerviis, ovatis, acuminatis, basi subcordatis, integris, utrin- 
que glabris; racemis alaribus, folio longioribus.—Rio Janeiro 
et Tejuca.
