dentate, (dentate with lobules irregularly and sharply dentate), 10 

 em. long, 8-9 cm. wide, each on a petiole 6 cm. long, uniformly 

 winged throughout (in middle 8-13 nmi. wide), entire, proximally 

 slightly expanding and connate with that of opposing leaf; above 

 green, beneath slightly paler, slightly pubescent on both surfaces. 

 Corymb leafy-bracted at base, its secondary branches long, each 

 dividing above a long peduncular portion into six to eight pedicels. 

 Peduncles and pedicels hirsute with glandless white hairs and with 

 short-stalked glands. Calyx 11-12 mm. long, the lobes ovate, 

 acuminate, entire, pubescent. Corolla: the posterior lip about 5 

 mm. long, 6 mm. wide, arched, the two lobes united to apex (so 

 hooded, truncate without apical aperture) ; anterior lip 13-14 mm. 

 long, 12-14 mm. wide, with orifice opening much less than one-half 

 length of sac (sac strongly up curving toward hood) ; externally gla- 

 brous, within pubescent at base on anterior side. Filaments .8 mm. 

 long. Anther straight, 3.5 mm. long, grayish, its walls firm; sacs 

 contiguous, permanently separated by a firm septum, each opening 

 by a slit from the distal apex which does not reach the proximal 

 end. Style 4 mm. long. Capsule 5-7 mm. long, pyramidal, some- 

 what obtuse, puberulent, with short-stalked glands. Seeds .2-.3 mm. 

 long, irregularly oblong, ridged and transverse-lined, dark-brown.

 States National Museum, and Field Museum of Natural History. 

 Said to be from "4500 feet" [= 1350 meters], such a low elevation 

 for a plant of this genus as to force the suspicion that datum is 

 erroneous. The specimen is more probably from some slope much 

 higher, surely over 2000 meters altitude. 



10. Fagelia tolimensis Pennell, sp. nov. 



Stem lax, ascending. 1 to 2 meters long, branched, reddish^ her- 

 baceous, glabrate below, above slightly hirsute with dark-jointed 

 hairs. Leaves 8-10 cm. long; the blades triangular-lanceolate, 

 cordate or truncate, acuminate, irregularly and somewhat doubly 

 dentate (dentate with lobules shallowly triangular and irregularly 

 acutely toothed), 6-7 cm. long, 2.5-3.5 cm. wide; each on a petiole 

 2-3 cm. long, broadly winged throughout (in middle 12-15 mm. 

 wide), irregularly shallowly crenately dentate, proximally expanding 

 and connate with that of opposing leaf; above dark-green, minutely
