168 FLORA Of BRAZIL. 
about 1 line long; while in my plant, it is from two to three 
lines. In his differential character he states the stamens to 
be nearly twice the length of the pistil, but in the detailed 
description the styles are said to be twice the length of the 
stamens, which I find to be the case in my specimens. In 
my collections from the province of Alagoas, this species also i 
exists, (No. 1254), and it seems to be the plant which . i 
Martius, in his Monograph, refers to, with a number, as . 
having been found by me at Pernambuco. It has, also, the 
long peduncles of my Rio specimens. E. subrotundum 1s 
nearly allied to E. Carthaginense, Jacq., but differs essen- 
tially in not having the two lateral veins, which run nearly 
parallel with the mid-rib, as in Æ. Coca.

17. Bunchosia ? laziflora, (sp. n.); erecta glaberrima, foliis

folio duplo fere longioribus, pedicellis infra medium bibrac- 
teolatis. 
Has. Bushy places by the sea-side near Rio. FJ. Aug: 
Frutex 4-pedalis. Folia 2-3 poll. longa, 1-14 poll. lata. 
Calyx 8-glandulosus. Petala 5 imegra, flava. Stamina 10 
basi monadelpha. Styli 3 distincti. Fructus ignotus. 
This species is nearly related to B. multiflora, (Hook. d 
Arnott, Bot. Misc. 3. p. 157) but is well distinguished by 1 
shorter and fewer-flowered racemes, and by the bracts being 
situated much nearer the base of the pedicell. B. multiflora 
-is described as having its leaves glandular at the base ; but m - 
the original specimens, which I have now before me, I cannot 
detect any appearance of glands. The following MS. note 
is appended to them by M. Ad. Jussieu :—** Potius Bunchosia 
quam Banisteria, sed neutrium generis, et ut videtur NOY 
fructu ignoto nondum satis certi instituti."
