pound panicles, ovate sepals, half smaller white maculate 

 flowers, lanceolate corolla-segments smooth without and albo- 

 furfuraceous within, pubescent ovary. — Santa Rosa, alt. 5,000 

 ft., Sept. 1888, v. Tiirckheim, (Ex pi. cit. 1,442). 



Fimhristemma ealyeosa. — Leaves oblong-cordate (4-6 in.), 



abruptly acuminate: peduncles (6-10 1.) exceeded by petioles, 

 the much longer pedicels cymosely and radiately 6-8 fascicu- 

 late, flowers an inch in diameter: segments of calyx oval, 

 pallescent: segments of corolla somewhat longer, narrower, 

 glabrous, dark-yellow, dextrorsely convolute: exterior crown 

 lobeless, densely long-fimbriate; lobes of the interior ovate, 

 equalling fringe, bidentate, naked: anthers appendiculate be- 

 low with a bicornute wing, caudicle nearly as long as pollen- 

 mass: follicle not seen.- — Fimbristcmma, as limited by lurc- 

 zaninow and not of Bentham and Hooker, is represented by 

 one other species, F. gonoloboidcs Turcz., which differs ex char. 

 by peduncles exceeding petioles and bifid, half larger corolla 

 twice exceeding calyx, lobed exterior crown, lobes of the in- 



terior entire and with an inner cucullate appendage, anthers 

 tipped with a membrane. CalLeolcpium Warsceiviczii Karst, 

 cited by Benth. & Hook, as a second species of Fimbristcmina, 

 is maintained by its author to be generically distinct by form 

 of crown, and to belong by position of pollen-masses to the 

 group of Cynauchece rather than to Gonolobcce, (Botan. Jahrb. 

 viii. 360). — Chucaneb Mt., Dept. Alta Verpaz, alt. 6,000 ft., 

 Apr. 1889, J. D. S., (Ex PL cit. 1,500).

Nephradenia fruticosa. — Erect virgate shrub 6-8 ft. high: 

 leaves linear-lanceolate (6-8X1.-1$ in.), tapering acutely to 

 apex and short (5-7 1.) petioled, eglandular, pale beneath, 

 conspicuous arching veins about 1 5 to a side: cymes extra- 

 axillary, scarcely half as long as leaves, pedicels exceeded by 

 peduncle and 3-8-subfasciculate in one or two bracteose clus- 

 ters: corolla rugose, 15-nerved, pale-yellow, 9 lines broad, 

 semi-fid, tube twice exceeding oval ciliate calyx-segments, 

 half-oval lobes naked and emarginate: processes of crown 

 equalling gynostegium, half-free; the adnate half small, tri- 

 angular, inflated and concavely bilobate at base, margin en- 

 tire, prolonged into subulate free upper half; pollen-masses
