Remyia PurDIEANA was discovered near Cauvas, in the province 
of Antioquia, by Purdie, the director of the garden at Trinidad 
(+1837), and was described by Weddell.t It is characterized by 
the long-stalked opposite panicles, which are located in the axils of 
the leaves, and whose ramifications bear a rust-colored felt; the 
corolla is of a firm consistence, tomentose on the exterior, and the 
corolla tube narrow. Ds as 
Remyta Pepuncurata, plate VI, has been met with, both by 
Karsten and Triana, as a small tree 3 meters (about 10 feet) in 
height on the eastern slope of the Cordillera of Bogota, on the 
road in the plains of the Orinoco, near the village of Susumuco,? at 
an elevation of 1000 meters (3250 feet). Karsten gives promi- 
nence to the silky lustre of the hairs which envelop the young 
shoots, and are also not wanting on the younger leaves. In the 
fully developed leaves, the leathery lamina, which is sharply 
lanceolate above and below, attains a length of 2 decimeters (8 
inches), and is smooth, with the exception of isolated small bristles 
on the lower surface. The inflorescence is an axillary, long-stalked 
cyme, the border of the calyx bell-shaped, the Ovary covered with 
a glandular ring, and the capsule dehisces through the partition 
from the apex to the base, more rarely from the base to the apex.

“foliis oblongis, basi attenuatis, abrupta acuminatis, planis, demum glabratis; panicu-
