186 FLORA OF BRAZIL. 
being a tree, from 20 to 30 feet high, with a stem about a 
foot in diameter at the base. It has a very striking appear- 
ance from a distance, the branches being densely covered 
with bright rose-coloured flowers, which are smaller than 
those of the other two species. I found it in the month of 
April, 1841, on the Minas Geraes side of tbe Rio Parahiba, 
about half a day's journey below Col. Leite's new bridge. 
The specimens which I collected were unfortunately lost, 
through the carelessness of my servant.
