 cosis ; calyce herbaceo breviter subcylindrico basi turbinato, lobis 

 juventate acutis mox apice erosis maturitate obtusissimis viscidis ; 

 corolla 3-3.5 cm. longa, tubo rectiusculo verisimiliter atrorubenti,

 — Guatemala: Coban, Dept. Alta Verapaz, alt. 1350 m., August, 1907, 

 H. von Tuerckheim, no. II. 1308 (type, in Gray Herb.). Distributed as 

 Leianthus brevidentatus Hemsl., a species described as having dense 

 inflorescence, short pedicels, shorter corolla with lobes scarcely 2 mm. 

 long, very acute calyx-lobes appressed to the corolla, etc., differences 

 which would certainly appear to be of specific value. It is, further- 

 more, scarcely likely that the viscidity which is such a conspicuous 

 feature of the present species could have been present in L. breviden- 

 tatus in like degree and have escaped mention. 



Schultesia Hayesii, n. sp., annua erecta gracilis 3-4 dm. alta gla- 

 berrima supra ramosa ; radice fibrosa ; caule subtereti leviter 6-angu-

 sessilibus 3-nerviis subtus pallidioribus ; ramis patenti-ascendentibus

 lis anguste linearibus 3 cm. longis ; floribus supra bracteolas sessilibus 

 4-meris ; calyce anguste ovoideo 3-3.6 cm. longo, tubo castaneo levis- 

 simo evenio ; alis semilanceolatis 3 mm. latis viridibus venosis sur- 

 sum in dentes calycis subsetaceos gradatim attenuatis ; corolla 4 cm. 

 longa verisimiliter purpurea, lobis late ovatis breviter acuminatis 1 cm. 

 longis ; ovario 4 angulari 1.4 cm. longo 4 mm. lato. — Panama : Rio 

 Grande Station, Panama railway, 13 December, 1859, Sutto?i Hayes, 

 no. 160 (type, in Gray Herb.). This species is closely related to 8. 

 heterophylla Miq. but differs in several points. The stems are percep- 

 tibly 6 -angled ; the leaves are decidedly longer and relatively narrower 

 than in S. heterophylla and the middle ones equal or often exceed the 

 internodes, while in S. heterophylla they are much exceeded by the 

 internodes. Finally the lobes of the corolla are only 1 cm. long, i. e. 

 one third the length of the tube, those of & heterophylla on the other 

 hand being 1.6 cm. long, i. e. more than half the length of the tube.
