ellipticis utrinque rotundatis, longiuscule petiolatis, venis secun- 

 clariis nuruerosis obscuris, stijmlis oblongis apice rotundatis 

 caducis ; floribus 2-3-natis pedicellatis, calycis limbo fere ad basin 

 in laciniis ovato-triangularibus subacutis diviso ; corolla tubo inter 

 breviores gracili, lobis 5 elliptico-oblongis ; ovario calyceni multo 

 superante oblongo, basi in pedicellum validiusculum leniter 

 attenuato, stylo longiuscule exserto, stigmate breviter bilobo. 



Colombia : Cauca, 4875 ft., Lehmann 1955. 



Belated to C. grandiflora R. & P., but readily distinguished by 

 the much shorter corolla ; also to G. gorgonensis {supra), from 

 which it is separated by the differently shaped leaves with longer 

 stalks and closer venation, &c. 



Leaves 11 cm. x 6-7 cm. ; petiole 2 cm. ; secondary nerves 12 or 

 more pairs ; stipules 1-5 cm. or longer. Pedicel 5 mm. or slightly 

 longer; calyx-lohes 3-3*5 mm.; corona-tube barely 4 cm. long, 

 lobes 2-2 cm. x l'l cm. ; style exserted over 1 cm. 



Chiococca erubescens, sp. nov. Glaberrimus, in siccitate 

 saepius erubescens, ramulis obtuse quadrangularibus ; foliis char- 

 taceis amplis, ovatis, ellipticis v. oblongis breviter acuminatis 

 obtusis, breviter petiolatis, stipulis latis brevibus apiculatis persis- 

 tentibus ; inflorescentiis simplicibus paucifloris, brevibus foliis multo 

 brevioribus ; calycis limbo patente dentibus brevibus latis ovatis 

 subacutis ; corolla extus glabra lobis minusculis triangularibus ; 

 ovario glabro angusto subtubuloso-infundibulari, basin versus in 

 pedicellum brevem attenuato. 



Guiana : Hb. Budge. Cayenne : Martin. Venezuela : Fwicke 

 & Schlim, 149. (The two last are in the Kew Herbarium.) 



Readily distinguished by the large leaves, glabrous even when 

 young, the short, simple inflorescences, and the narrowly funnel- 

 shaped ovary. 



Leaves 14-20 cm. x 7-11*8 cm., petiole 7 mm. ; secondary nerves, 

 7-10 pairs ; stipules as broad as the branchlet, with sheath 2 mm, 

 deep and apiculus 2 mm. long. Peduncle up to 2 cm. or longer, 

 inflorescence to 6 cm. ; pedicels to 2 mm. ; ovary and calyx 

 2-2-5 mm. Corolla-tuhe 9 mm., 5 mm. wide at the mouth, lobes 

 2 mm. 



The following interesting plant was collected by James 

 Anderson, naturalist to Capt. King's South American Expedition 

 (1829-30), probably in Trinidad, but the locality is unfortunately 

 uncertain. The label bears the name which I propose to adopt, 



viz. : — 



Chiococca pulcherrima, sp. nov. Frutex glaber ramulis 

 nisi novellis complanatis teretibus ; foliis lanceolatis utrinque 

 attenuatis subacutis, subcoriaceis, venis secundariis obscuris, 

 petiolo longiusculo valde compresso, stipulis latis brevibus apicu- 

 latis coriaceis, parte inferiore persistente ; racemis laxissimis 

 paucifloris folia subaequantibus, bracteis minimis lanceolatis, 

 floribus longepedicellatis ; calyce breviter obtuse dentata ; corolla 

 late infundibulari infra medium in laciniis oblongis obtusis divisa ; 

 ovario subgloboso.
