Hab. Culluay, in the Valley of Canta. 



Cavanilles' figure and description give an idea of a more 

 tonientose plant than is the case with our specimens. The 

 petioles, indeed, are clothed with rather copious hairs. 



9. Lamourouxia bartsioides ; ubique pubescens ramosa, foliis 

 lineari-oblongis obtusis crenato-pinnatifidis scabris, brac-

This has much the habit, and even the foliage, of Bartsia

I can neither find in Ruiz and Pavon, nor in any other

 for having the adult stems and leaves glabrous ; the latter of a
