Canoe Camp, 150 ft. 



Allied apparently to P. Wichmanni, Val., which it resembles in the calyx-lobes and 

 indumentum generally ; distinct in its larger and diflferently-shaped leaves. 



A specimen collected at Camp I at 700 feet, with elliptic leaves and a small, lax, few- 

 flowered inflorescence, may be a variety of this species ; but the material is inadequate 

 for certain determination.

Camp III, 2500 ft. 



llemarkable for the red haii*y ajipearance of the wliole plant, and for the rather small 

 broad leaves with few veins.
