This plant is closely related to Ceiba boliviami, the chief points 

 of difference being the leaflets in C. Mandoni are more numerous, 

 more membranous, slightly more lougly petiolulate, and with 

 strongly marked serrations like the teeth of a saw ; and the main 

 petiole is much longer than the longest of the leaflets, while in 

 our specimens of C. holiviana it is shorter. There is considerable 

 similarity in the calyx of the two species. The position of the 

 staminodial annulus differs ; in C. holiviana it is about the centre 

 of the joined portion of the filaments, while in the present species 

 it is much nearer the apex. 



Petiole (of C. Mandoni) 4-6 in. long. Leaflets 2^-4 in. long, 

 1-1^ in. broad at the broadest part, which is about or a little above 

 the centre. Petiolules J-^ in. long. Peduncle ^-| in. long. Calyx 

 J-1 in. long. Petals 3|- in. long.
