GALAPAGOA, genus novum. 
Calyx 4-5-partitus, laciniis linearibus. Corolla infundibuliformis, tubo lato, limbo 5-fido 
patente, fauce nudá. Stamina 5, inclusa, imo corollz tubo inserta. Ovarium 4-locu- 
lare. Stylus terminalis, ad basin usque bipartitus ; stigmata 2, obtusa. Semina pendula ; 
albumine parco, carnoso; cotyledonibus planis; radiculà majusculá, superá. 
Genus Ehretiearum, infer Coldeniam e? Rhabdiam (suadente clariss. Bentham) medium, ob 
stylum 2-partitum staminaque fundo corolle inserta singulare. 
Herbe Insularum “Galapagos,” hispido-pilose. Caules prostrati, ramosissimi. Folia alterna, 
coriacea, versus apices ramulorum densissim? conferta. Flores parvi, in axillis foliorum 
omninà sessiles, valdé inconspicui. 
A highly remarkable genus, and abundantly distinct from any other among 
Boraginee. Though allied to the South American forms, especially Coldenia 
from Peru, and Rhabdia, a Brazilian genus, it would hitherto appear to be 
quite confined to this curious group of islands.
