SOUTH AMERICAN PLANTS. 133 
proximate genera, Jochroma and Pecilochroma, I propose to sub- 
stitute that of Salpichroma for Salpichroa, the genus described in 
the beginning of this work p. 1. The plants from Columbia 
‘and New Grenada, there alluded to in p. 6, I now find to 
belong to a new species, very distinct from Dr. Meyen’s Atropa 
hirsuta, of which I have since seen an original specimen. The 
number of species, to which T have still to add another, will there- 
fore stand as follows.

obtusis, ineequalibus, apice acutiusculis, utrinque pilis articulatis

__y. 3. in herb. Hooker (Atropa hirsuta, Dr. Meyen). 
The specimen above referred to, being named by Dr. Meyen 
himself, leaves no doubt as to the identity of the species, so that 
+» accordance with it, I have given the above amended diagnosis. 
~ Nees v. Esenbeck describes the plant as being much branched 
but the specimen here referred to, consists only of a small single 
branchlet, which is slender, with alternate distant leaves, the blade 
being about nine lines long, and six lines broad, the petiole almost
