pubescent, becoming glabrate, beneath pale-green, permanently 

 pubescent, especially on the veins. Corymb leafy-bracted at base, 

 its secondary branches soon much branched (pedicels long and 

 slender) Peduncles and pedicels hirsute with dark-jointed hairs, 

 these of various lengths. Calyx 8-10 mm. long, the lobes ovate, 

 acuminate, entire, pubescent. Corolla: the posterior lip 3-4 mm. 

 long, 5 mm. wide, arched, the two lobes united to apex (so hooded, 

 without median aperture); anterior lip 12-14 mm. long. 10 mm. 

 wide, with orifice opening about one-half length (sac strongly up- 

 curving toward hood), externally slightly pubescent to glabrate, 

 within glabrous throughout. Filaments 1.2 mm. long. Anthers 

 horseshoe-shaped, brown; each sac 2 mm. long, contiguous, splitting 

 its entire length, septum between sacs thin, but apparently not rup- 

 turing. Style 5 mm. long, proximally pubescent. Capsule pubes- 

 cent with white glandless hairs; not seen mature. 



Type, moist mossy loam, margin of forest, "Rosalito" (east of 

 Paramo de Ruiz), Tolima, altitude 2800-3100 meters, collected 

 in flower December 15-17, 1917, F. W. Pennell 2979; in Herb. New 

 York Botanical Garden. 



Nearest to Fagelia purpwascens (Sodiro) Pennell, comb, nov., 

 of Ecuador, but appears distinct in having leaves more sharply cut, 

 stem less pubescent, pedicels more slender and sepals shorter. 



Moist soil, edge of forest, at an altitude between 2800 and 3100 

 meters, Temperate zone of eastern slope of Cordillera Central, in 

 Tolima. 



11. Fagelia perfoliata (L. f.) Kuntze. 



('alccolaria perfoliata L. f., Suppl. 86. 1781. "Habitat in Nova Granada. 



Mutis." Type probably from Bogota. 

 Fagelia perfoliata (L. f.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. 460. 1891. 



Stems lax, ascending, 1-2 meters long, somewhat branched, red- 

 dish-broAvn, pubescent throughout, above densely so, with hairs not 

 or slightly dark-jointed. Leaves 8-13 cm. long, the blades tri- 

 angular-lanceolate to ovate, cordate to truncate, acuminate, irregu- 

 larly and somewhat doubly dentate (dentate with lobules shalbwh' 

 triangular and shallowly dentate), 5-8 cm. long, 3.5-5.5 cm. wide; 

 each on a petiole 3-5 cm. long, broadly winged throughout (in 

 middle 15-20 mm. wide), sHghtly crenate-dentate to entire, prox- 

 imally expanding and connate with that of opposing leaf; above 

 green, beneath whitish -green, pul^escent on both surfaces, densely 

 canescent beneath. Coryml:) leafy-bracted at base, its secondary 

 branches soon much branched (pedicels long and slender). Pe-
