SOUTH AMERICAN PLANTS, 157 
This species, in the appearance of its leaves, has very much the 
nabit of the genus Lycioplesium, but the flowers are much larger, 
and more showy. ‘The leaves are one inch and a half long, ten 
lines broad, with a petiole three lines in length: the peduncle is 
one inch and a quarter long, drooping, slender at base, thickened 
at its summit; the calyx is two lines long, three lines broad, 
somewhat pentangular, and five-nerved, the teeth being short, 
and rounded, with a mucronate apex: the corolla is large and 
handsome, one inch and an eighth in length, and one inch and a 
quarter in diameter across the border: the stamens are glabrous, 
three quarters the length of the corolla, the style is somewhat 
longer, glabrous, slender, and the stigma clavately bilobed *. 
6. Peecilochroma Lindeniana (nov. sp.) : suffruticosa, ramis 
rugosis, striatis, glabris: foliis cuneato-oblongis, in petiolum 
brevem attenuatis, apice obtusis, sub-emarginatis, margine revo- 
lutis, utrinque glaberrimis, crassis, supra nitidis, nervis impressis 
eveniis, subtus luteo-pallescentibus, rachi nervisque prominenti- 
bus; floribus axillaribus solitariis nutantibus, pedunculo folio 
florifero longiore, apice incrassato, corolla speciosa, campanulata, 
aurantiaca, extus pulverulenta, margine floccoso 5-angulato: geni- 
talibus vix inclusis,—Ecuador.—v. s. in herb. Hooker. (Linden, 
a. 489.) 
It possesses a habit very similar to the species before described, 
its leaves are one inch and an eighth long, five-eighths of an inch 
wide, tapering, with a very short petiole two lines in length: the 
axils are approximate, scarcely more than nine lines apart. ‘The 
peduncle is nine lines long, the dark-red fleshy calyx splitting 
irregularly into three unequal triangular mucronate lobes with 
membranaceous edges, is three-eighths of an inch long, the corolla 
is large, broadly campanulate, one inch and a quarter long, one 
inch in diameter in the mouth, the somewhat expanded, pent- 
angular border, measuring one inch and a half in diameter. 
7. Peecilochroma Quitensis. Lycium Quitense, Hook. Teon. 723: 
fruticosa, glabra ; foliis ellipticis, obovatisve, obtusis, subcoriaceis, 
margine revolutis, breviter petiolatis, utrmque glaberrimis, supra
