Unfortunately, no detailed data accompany this interesting plant 

 which, like many others of Dr. Triana's Colombian material, was 

 purchased by the Royal Gardens in February, 1892, but is unaccom- 

 panied by any original ticket. The species is exceedingly distinct 

 from any other Eupatorium known to the writer, yet there can be little 

 doubt that it is correctly refcMTcd to the genus.
