Varying considerably as to the length of the leaves and petioles and as to the

2. Adenosacme Scortechinii, King & Gamble n. sp. A shrub 

 6 to 8 feet high ; branches as thick as the little finger, the youngest 

 much thinner; bark corky, at first pubescent and brown, but after-

 stipules shorter than the petioles, triangular, acute. Cymes several from 

 the axils of fallen leaves, under 1 in. in length including the short 

 peduncle, minutely rusty- tomenfcose, with a pair of lanceolate bracts '15 

 in. long at the apex of the peduncle and a few minute bracteoles on the 

 branchlets. Flowers about "6 in. long. Galyx campanulate, "15 in. long ;
