sae, subulatae, usque ad 5 mm. longae. Flores non nu- 
merosi, 13-14 mm. in diametro. Sepala quinque; interi- 
ora rhomboideo-ovata, apice obtusa, extus setarum carina 
mediana armata, intus prope apicem dense pulverulenta, 
basi glabra, 9-10 mm. longa, 9-10 mm. lata; exteriora 
crassiora, elliptico-ovata, apice subacuta, extus densissime 
et grossiuscule aureo-setosa, intus pulverulenta sed basi 
glabra, 9-10 mm. longa, 5-6 mm. lata. Petala mem- 
branacea, alba, rotundata, margine subintegra (leviter 
subundulata ut videtur), 6-7 mm. longa, 5-6 mm. lata. 
Stamina plusminusve centum triginta, antheris parvis, 
0.7 mm. longis, filamentis 23 mm. longis, basi rufo-setoso- 
barbatis. Ovarium globosum, 4 mm. in diametro, glab-

Saurauia roseotincta very closely resembles S. pseudo- 
ruiziana Buse., 8. Ruiziana Steud., and S. tomentosa 
Spreng., from which concepts it may be immediately dis- 
tinguished by having 130-140 stamens instead of 80, 
30-40 and 40-70 respectively. There are also differences 
to be noted in the pilosity of the leaves and in the size 
of the floral parts. 
There are a number of notes appended to the type 
specimen. These were made by Dr. E. P. Killip when 
he compared the specimen with material at Kew and in 
Berlin. Killip wrote: ‘‘ Aff. tomentosa, but hairs yellow, 
not white. Aff. Ruizana [sic], but that has long soft, 
appressed hairs above, and on nerves beneath; flowers 
very similar. [Notes at Berlin. ] Aff. pseudruizana [sic] 
but leaves here are more bullate and without long ap- 
pressed hairs of pseuoruizana. [Notes at Kew. ] This 
agrees well with description of Ruizana var. Weberbauert 
Buse. in Monagr.; perhaps, though, it is a distinct spe- 
cies. (Oct. 1925).”’
