“A shrub with iur diffuse brite. (4 to 20 feet), Occas- 
ional in open lands and thickets, from 4,500 feet down to sea- 
level at Las Nubes, Onaca, Bonda, etc. Begins to flower 
about December 25. It is scandent, sometimes attaining 30 
feet." (Herbert H. Smith, Colombia, No. 661). Mr. Smith sends 
another specimen under same number but with different locality 
and date and with leaves shorter but twice as broad. Of this 
he says “A broad-leaved form collected near Cacagualito, 1,500 
feet, December 26. The leaves vary greatly in breadth, even 
on the same plant." This specimen appears to be identical 
with Haye's Panama, No. 338.
