her liis plants nor niai'k his types it i.s now very difficult to locate them. A 

 oreat many duplicates were given away In- the Berlin authorities, and as some of 

 them were only scantily labeled, some of his plants which were undoubtedly his 

 types were given away. This accounts for the ninnber of species not represented 

 in his herbarium. In a great many instances llillebrand's original labels have 

 not been mounted with the respective plants. While the writer's material does 

 not exactly agree with llillebrand's description of that species, it nevertheless 

 cannot be separated from it, as it agrees with the above species in the specific 

 ehai-acters, as for example many-nerved oblong calycine lobes, and in the very 

 long and numerous bracts. The East j\Iani material is very strongly hispid, 

 that is the inflorescence, while llillebrand's plants from West ^laui are more or 

 less giabrate. It is a very variable species whose forms cannot well be separated, 

 while the specific characters remain constant. 



In the Gray Herbarium is a sheet ex coll. llillebrand marked ('. iritninantlm 

 which is Cijaiiia macroslcgia.

(Plate 94.) 



Habit as in the species; leaves about 50 cm long, 6.5-8 cm wide, on thick Heshy 

 petioles of 6-7 cm, the latter muricate, leaves giabrate or puberulous above, with 

 an olivaceous pubescence underneath, lanceolate or oblong, acute to acuminate 

 at the apex, gradually tapering below; inflorescence viscons, the bracts broad 

 foliaeeous 3 cm long, 1 cm wide, pubescent ; calycine lobes broad and much shorter 

 than in the species, nearl.y 2 cm long, 8 mm broad; corolla densely strigosely 

 hispid with yellowish gray hair; staminal eolinnn and anthers u'labrons.

The \ariety differs from the species mainly in the viscous inflorescence, In'Dad 

 and shorter calycine lobes and bracts, as well as lanceolate tomentose leav&s.

(Plate 9.5.) 

 Leaves large, -45-65 cm liy 7-14 cm, coriaceous, scabrous aliove, dull pubescent 

 nnderneath, margin irregularly notched or laciniform, broadly oblong in outline ; 

 peduncle 4-6 cm, fleshy, bracteate at the apex, bracts linear-subulate 5 by 1 nun; 

 pedicels 15 mm. apparently naked; calyx pubescent, the ovarian portion oliconi- 

 cal, the lobes 20-30 mm long-, 4-5 mm broad, green; corolla dark iiui-ide. as in 

 the species, 6-7 cm long, slightly eur^'ed, pubescent with reddish brown hair; 

 berry ovoid, dark yellowish, 25-30 mm long, 18-27 mm thick, crowned l)y the 

 calycine lobes.
