dibus, supremis apice coccineis ; floribus sessilibus interruptis in spicis 

 elongatis, falcatis bracteas superantibus ; calyce fisso 12 mm., tubo an- 

 guste cylindrico piloso, segmentis dilatatis 4-5 mm. latis coccineis 

 puberulentibus ; galea et labio inferiore calycem superantibus ; galea 

 1 cm. longa, basi 3-4 mm. lata, dorso viridi glandulare pilosa, antice 

 coccinea membranacea ; labio inferiore protuberanti trisaccato, dentibus 

 acutis viridibus, sinubus implicatis cum plicaturis interioribus ; stylo 

 apice et stigmate subclavato exsertis ; capsula ovata oblique-acuminata. 

 — Puebla : Mount Orizaba, altitude 3660 m., 14 Aug., 1901, C. G. 

 Pringle, no. 8560 (type, in hb. Gray). This is related to G Gonzattii, 

 differing in having much longer flowers, with segments of the calyx red 

 instead of green. The falcate flowers spreading outwards resemble those 

 of § Hemkhroma, but the equally cleft calyx is that of § Euchroma. 

 It is a showy species. 



22. C. hirsuta Mart. & Gal., "caule fruticuloso humili ramoso 

 dense hirsuto-villoso ; foliis obovato-spatulatis 3-nerviis apice rotun- 

 datis integerrimis villosis scabris, corolla calycem coccineum longe ex- 

 cedente. — Folia ^-pollicaria, flores pollicares. Dans les champs de 

 Zacuapan, a 3000 pieds. Fl. rouge vif. Fdvrier-juillet." — Bull. Acad.

 man, Proc. Am. Acad. xli. 460. G obovata Benth. 1. c. 528. — Hidalgo : 

 in a barranca below Trinidad Iron Works, altitude 1525 m., G G. Pringle, 

 no. 8935. Through the kindness of Dr. Prain, Director of the Royal 

 Gardens at Kew, specimens under this number were compared with 

 authenticated specimens in hb. Kew and reported as similar. There is 

 a tendency in the specimens in hb. Gray to have incised dentate or 

 laciniate leaves. Bentham placed this in § Epichro?na on account of the 

 somewhat ampliate calyx-limb. It is entirely unlike the other species 

 in that section in habit, foliage, bracts, and flowers, and has the charac- 

 teristic equally cleft calyx-divisions of § Euchroma, so in this synopsis 

 it is included under the latter section. 



23. C. scorzonerifolia HBK., simplex vel basi ramosa perennis ; 

 caulibus piloso-hispidis ; foliis linearibus vel lanceolatis hispidulis; 

 apice saepe angustatis; floribus spicatis sessilibus; bracteis oblongis 

 acutis integris pilosis coccineis vel purpurascentibus florem subaequan- 

 tibus ; calycis segmentis coloratis emarginato-bidentatis ; corolla caly- 

 cem vix superanti ; galea lineari dorso pilosa ; labio inferiori quinque- 

 dentato ; stylo exserto filiformi ; stigmate capitato emarginato-bilobato ; 

 capsula oblonga compressa acuminata vel acuta. — HBK. Nov. Gen.
