It is only from the description of Dr. von Martius that 
"I am acquainted with this species which certainly approaches 
close to my P. floribunda: the leaves, however, are entirely 
glabrous, and not punctulate; they are little more than half 
their size, and less cordate at base than in that species. The 
raceme is much longer than the leaf.. The calyx is denticu- 
lated, the stamens are ventricose, but the fleshy connective 
is less curved: the filaments are expanded below, but are 
not auriculate: it has the fleshy perigynous ring, and the 
annular disc, as well as the short tubular broad style and 
stigma of P. floribunda. Its flowers are odorous, which I do 
not remember to have noticed in the Organ Mountain species, 
and the lobes of the corolla want the rostrate apical appen- 
dage so conspicuous in that species. 
6. Pionandra Gardneri (n. sp.)—fruticosa: foliis geminis, 
altero minori, sub 5-nerviis, cordato-ovatis, valde acumi- 
natis, utringue pilis longis mollibus articulatis, infraque 
pallide tomentosis, margine ciliatis et eroso-denticulatis : 
racemis é bifurcatione secundis, folio multo longioribus.—

A very distinct species remarkable for the length of its 
articulate glandular hairs. It forms a shrub about 4 feet 
high : its larger leaves are 3} in. long and 2 in. broad on a 
petiole 14 in. in length, the smaller leaves are 23 in. long and 
1} in. broad on a petiole 2 in. The raceme is 7 in. long : the 
calyx is 5-angled with broadish deep segments, very pubes- 
cent, and somewhat membranaceous: the corolla is very 
pubescent outside, smooth within, its segments being broad 
and acute: the stamens and pistillum resemble those of P 
floribunda.
