ering collection; and Meaia 7328, from Ecuador, which 
is sterile. The fruit has not been known, but several of 
the collections made in March 1958 and cited below, are 
in fruit. We are, therefore, able to offer the following 
description of the capsule: 
Capsula (unica visa non matura) oblongo-ovoidea, 10 
cm. longa, 5 cm. in diametro, apice abruptissime acu- 
minata, basi haud indentata, petiolo robusto usque ad 2 
cm. longo, quinque cum costis primariis regularibus, 
grossiuscule hebetato-rotundatis, usque ad 7 mm. altis et 
basim versus usque ad 8-10 mm. latis, et cum quinque 
costis secundariis similibus sed paulo minoribus, costis 
omnibus proximis sine costis fibrosis horizontalibus, peri- 
carpio duro, omnino densissime atque molliter stellato- 
velutino.

Vaupés, on the Rio Papuri and on the Rio Negro, just
