Herrania breviligulata R. EH. Schultes in Caldasia 
(1942) 19. 
Herrania breviligulata was described from flowering 
material collected in the Putumayo of Colombia in 1941. 
Hitherto, no additional material has been available for 
study. In July 1950, I found the collection Mewia 7328 
in the Riksmuseet in Stockholm. Although, unfortu- 
nately, it is nearly sterile (having only a few loose seeds), 
the collection can be referred, on the basis of very speci- 
fic vegetative characters, to Herrania breviligulata. The 
Provincia de Napo-Pastaza is adjacent to the Colombian 
Comisaria del Putumayo, but the known distribution of 
the species is extended to include an additional drainage- 
area.

In 1948, I described Herrania kanukuensis—extraor- 
dinarily distinct in the form of its fruit—from a collec- 
tion from southern British Guiana. Recently, a sterile 
collection referable to this species was reported from an 
adjacent part of the Territorio do Rio Branco in Ama- 
zonian Brazil (in Bot. Mus. Leafl. Harvard Univ. 14 
(1950) 126). In May 1950, while engaged in taxonomic 
studies in the Botanisch Museum en Laboratorium at the 
University of Utrecht, Holland, a large series of collec- 
tions representing this species was kindly made available 
to me for examination.
