hairs. Calyx 8-14 mm. long, the lobes ovate, obtuse to acute, ob- 

 scurely lobed, lanose-pubescent. Corolla: the posterior lip 3-4 mm. 

 long the two lobes united nearly to apex (so strongly hooded, with 

 shallow median orifice); anterior lip 20-25 mm. long, 10-12 mm. 

 wide, with orifice opening about one-third of its length; sac upcurv- 

 ing toward hood, the orifice opening externally; externally glandular- 

 pruinose, within slightly pubescent at base on anterior side. Fila- 

 ments 2 mm. long. Anthers 2 mm. long, brown, the walls thick, 

 the sacs broadly contiguous, opening throughout and through the 

 thin connective. Style 1.5 mm. long. Capsule 5-6 mm. long, 

 broadly globose-pyramidal, obtuse, thick-walled, puberulent with 

 gland-tipped hairs. Seeds .5 mm. long, oblong, distally acute, 

 finely ridged, brown. 



Thickets, along streams and at edge of forest, at altitudes of 

 2700 to 3300 meters; Temperate zone of eastern slope of Cordillera 

 Central, from Tolima to Ecuador. Collected also above Bogota, 

 where probably an escape. 



Tolima. "Rosalito," near Paramo de Ruiz (along stream in

6. Fagelia bogotensis Pennell, sp. nov. 



Stem probably about 1 meter tall, branched, herbaceous, pubes- 

 cent with white hairs, distally these gland-tipped. Leaves 4-5 cm. 

 long, the blades triangular ovate, cordate, acuminate, irregularly 

 dentate with acute lobes 3-4 cm. long, 2.5-3 cm. wide; each on a 

 wingless petiole 10-20 mm. long; blades above green, pubescent, 

 beneath lighter green and moderately pubescent, without sessile 

 glands; petiole pubescent, some hairs gland-tipped. Corymb leafy- 

 bracted at base, its secondary branches becoming much branched. 

 Peduncles and pedicels hirsute with gland-tipped hairs. Calyx 

 10-12 mm. long, the lobes ovate, acuminate, entire, hirsute-pubes- 

 cent. Corolla: the posterior lip 4 mm. long, the two lobes united 

 nearly to apex (so strongly hooded, with shallow median orifice); 

 anterior lip about 10 mm. long, with orifice opening less than ^ of 

 length; sac upcurving toward hood, the orifice opening externally, 

 externally glandular-pruinose, within somewhat pubescent at base. 

 Filaments 1.5 mm. long. Anthers 2.5 mm. long, brown, the walls 

 thick, the sacs broadly contiguous, opening from proximal end,
