oribus maxime longioribus—Peruvia ad Chinchao. 
There can be no doubt from the figure and description 
above cited, that this species possess all the essential charac- 
ters of Pionandra. 
10. Pionandra viridiflora. Solanum viridiflorum R. et P.

que pilosis, pilis flavis, articulatis, infra pallidioribus ; - 
racemo e bifurcatione, folio breviori, floribus secundis, 
pedicellis articulatis: fructo magno, ovali—Peruvia (v. s. in 
herb. Hooker alabastris nondum maturis.) 
A species closely allied to P. pendula, and very near P. 
betacea, but with much smaller leaves: the larger ones mea- 
sure 7 inches in length, and are 53 in. broad, on a petiole 14 
in.: the smaller being 43 in. long, and 3} in. broad, on a 
petiole of the same length of the basal lobes 1 in. long: the 
calyx is pubescent, 5-angular, and somewhat campanulate, 
with 5 short lobes: the corolla is tomentous outside, with 
woolly margins: the stamens are somewhat long, with a 
thickened fleshy, somewhat scabrid connective: the style is 
considerably swollen in the middle, and the stigma cup- 
shaped: the berry is of the size of that of P. betacea. 
11. Pionandra premnefolia. Solanum premnefolium. Dun. 
mss :—tota pubescens: fruticosa, foliis geminis, altero 
minori, 5-nerviis, cordato-ovatis: racemis folio multo 
longioribus, pedicellis articulatis, deciduis.—Brazilia in 
Bahiam (a Luccombe) et Prov. San. Pauli (a Bowie et Cun- 
ningham lecta) v. s. in Herb. Mus. Brit. 
In habit this species much resembles P. floribunda; but 
the leaves and stems are covered with long close hairs: the 
larger leaves are 3} to 4 in. long, and 24 to 23 in. broad, on a 
petiole 1 in. to 1} in. long: the smaller leaves measure 23, by 
2 in. on a petiole 1 in. long: the raceme is 4 in, long: it 
probably belongs to this section.
