about the limit for a tree Datura, and many of its 
branches have small leaves which are only two or three 
times longer than the diminutive leaves of ‘Munchira’, 
which are characteristically the same shape. Observing 
the same trees, J.M. Idrobo had already noted the re- 
semblance to *Munchira’® (Idrobo 2224). 
Two unusual flowers (Bristol 1448) were discovered on 
one branch of a ‘Salamin’ tree. They may be interpreted 
as chimeral in origin. ‘They demonstrate the possibility 
of obtaining striking new cultivars from existing ones by 
vegetative propagation of such anomalous branches. The 
flowers are small, with all parts much shorter than nor- 
mal ‘Salamiin’ flowers, the corollas being only 21.8 and 
22.5cem. long. Most striking is the failure of the corolla 
limb to complete its growth and recurve. Instead, the 
limb flares only slightly and its margin between the 
teeth, rather than being rounded outward or cordate, is 
concave. The pistil falls far short of the stamens which 
in all other tree Daturas it exceeds. 
Cotompria: Comisaria del Putumayo, Valle de Sibundoy.—1.5 km. 
S Sibundoy. ‘* ‘Salamén borrachera’. Tree 4 m.; aberrant branch 
with 2 small firs., corolla white, limb flaring only 45 degrees, its 
edges crinkled. Indian garden, very infreq.’’ 8-X-1963, 1448 (ECON). 
2e. ‘Quinde’ n. cy. Plate LVIII. 
Leaves very irregular, frequently with two lateral 
veins and their associated laminar tissue in the basal half 
well developed, and the distal half with relatively less 
development; the flowers often somewhat smaller than 
in the other clones, calyx 10.3-15.6 cm., corolla 19.7— 
25.2 cm., stamens 13.2-15.9 cm. (including their adna- 
tion to corolla), anthers relatively short, 26-33 mm., 
pistil 18.1-18.1 cm.; fruit occasional, the calyx some- 
times persistent. N=12 (Bristol 327, 1304, 1433). 
Common names: Ngunsiana borrachera, quinde bor- 
rachera, cari borrachero.
