" Specimens agreeing in every detail with Mueller's descrip- 

 tion (Walp. Ann. V., p. 596) of this species were collected 

 by Robert Combs on rocky hillsides on the coast at Calicita, 

 June 5, 1895, no. 132. The species is well characterized by 

 the stellate-tomentose pubescence on the younger branches 

 and on the lower surface of the leaves, by the shallowly and 

 ciliately lobed calyx, and finally by the long slender glabrous 

 corolla-tube; the latter being about 12 centimeters long. 

 No. 3021 of Wright's Cuban collection, cited as B. sinuata, 

 Rich, in Griseb. Cat. PI. Cub. 3 88, from the glabrous char- 

 acter of stem, leaves, and the deeply parted calyx, should 

 doubtless be referred to B. nitida, DC."

In barren savannahs, dry, sandy or gravelly red soil, infre- 

 quent. Cieneguita R. R., S. W. Branch, Aug. 10 and 13,
