Bristol 759 is equivalent to the five sterile specimens 
of B. Caapi from the Mocoa-Umbria region of the east- 
ern lowlands, but it likewise resembles Klug 1964, the 
type of B. inebrians Mort., also from Umbria. Bristol 
325-A7 is similar to two sterile and two semi-fertile col- 
lections of B. Rusbyana from the same region. 
Specimens examined from the region where the Sibundoy 
collect materials for preparing biaxil.
