Prope Viotam, Nov. Granat. legit cl. Andre 1713 (folia tan- 

 tum) ! ; in prov. Cundinamarca prope Fusagasuga alt. 2000 met. 

 Lehmami 2524 ! 



A distinct and remarkable species, of which Andre collected the 

 leaves only (Journ. Linn. Soc. xx. p. 43). Lehmann, however, 

 met with flowering specimens in the locality above-mentioned, 

 which allow of a more complete description being drawn up. The 

 last-named collector speaks of it as attaining a length of 6 metres, 

 "leaves opaque sap-green, of good texture; flowers greenish-white. 

 Grows in very luxuriantly-developed woods in openings near 

 Fusagasug^."
