rounded base to acute mucronulate apex. — Pansamahi forest, 

 alt. 4,000 feet, July 1887, v. Tiirckheim (Ex PI. cit. 1332.) 



Arc.TOSTAPHYLOS PUNGENS H. B. K., (not Gray), var. 

 eratericola. — Younger parts and racemes puberulous: branch- 

 lets trigonal from stout short (1 line) petioles: leaves crowded, 

 smooth and shining, punctate beneath, oval or obovate 

 (6-7x4-5 lines), each end obtuse, apex callose: capituliform 

 racemes scarcely equalling leaves, 4-6-flowered, coloured 

 bracts exceeding abbreviated pedicels: filaments circularly 

 dilated at middle, chiefly beardless; anthers nearly half as 

 long, equalling short smooth awns: style exceeding stamens. — 

 Tufted, with prostrate branches a foot or more long, on rocks 

 in the crater of Volcan de Agua, alt. 12,000 feet, April 



1890, J. D. S. (Ex PL cit. 2159.)

Daphnopsis Tuerekheimiana ( § Nordmannia Benth. el 



Hook.) — Epiphytal (?), dichotomous: petioles short, incras- 

 sate; leaves coriaceous, glabrous, ovate-lanceolate or lanceo- 

 late (3-5 in.), caudately produced, base acute, margin revolute, 

 veins immersed: umbelliform staminate fascicles lateral 

 and terminal, subsessile, bracteate, pilose, 5-7-flowered, 

 pedicels short: perianth 5-6-times longer (3 £-4 lines), clavate, 

 smooth within, lobes one-fifth as long with alternate ones the 

 broader: superior stamens partly exsert, interior inserted above 

 middle of tube: abortive ovary hirsute, globose, equalling 



style, ovule manifest; stipe long as pistil (J line) ; scales as 



long, united in cylindrical dentate sheath splitting variously: 

 fertile flowers not seen. — Inflorescence apparently similar to 

 that of a recent Brazilian species, D. Sellowiana Taubert, 

 Bot. Jahrb. XII, Beibl. 7, which seems incorrectly referred 

 to the section NEIVIRA Griseb. — Pansamahi forest, alt. 3,800 

 feet, Sept. 1886, v. Tiirckheim. (Ex PL cit. 103!).)
