belongs very probably to this species. It is knowu to me only 

 from Eoissier's description: -'corolla vitta lata nigra obsita "; 

 but M. Beauverd (in a letter) describes it tluis : ''C'est ime 

 plante aussi elevee que les plus grands echantillons Uulieuaeker; 

 son calice a divisions aigues mesure 30 mm. long., ^t sa corolle 

 a tube retreci a, la gorge atteint 60 mm. de lougeur; les etnmines 

 •sont baibues et atteignent le sommet du stigmate qui a G mm. de 

 diametre; le nectarostege est dispose en anneau a la bauteur du 

 point d'insertion des filets stamiuaux et se compose de longs cils 

 d'uu pourprefonce. Les feuilles, nulles a la base, sont epnrses 

 tout le long de la tfge; a peine araplexicaules, elles niesurent 

 "0 + 20 mm. dans la partie inferieure de la tige et 20 + 30 mm. 

 vers le sommet; le baut du pedonele et I'exterieur du calice 

 offrent la meme pubescence rousse et tres brievemeut glanduleuse 

 du Pbelipaea que Kotscby, dans son exsiccata jVo. 44 (imprime) 

 nommait ft Boissleri. Cette variete ' nigrovittatns,' si'elle 

 n'est une espece autonome (?) se rattacherait plutot a votre 

 P. Boissieri ; elle n'est representee ici que par le No. 711 Hauss- 

 Icnecbt, It. Orient, Pir Omar Gudrum, Juin 1807." 4 ecb. bien 

 maltraites par les insectes ! 



Distribution. — In tlie following an attempt is made to define 

 the areas of the genus and its species. Unfortunately it is at 

 present impossible to make full use of the material preserved in 

 foreign collections so that the account must necessarily remain 

 incomplete.
