Two distinct species have been included under Gomphicis alba, 
Lehm. & Krinzl., and it is a little difficult to say as to which 
the description best applies. The stature and size of the leaves, 
however, agree with Lehmann’s no. 7112, from the Western Andes 
of Cali, in the State of Cauca, at 1700-2000 m., and the name 
is therefore limited to it, while the other, which has much smaller 
leaves, and is identical with the plant collected by Mrs. Tracey, 
is called Gomphicis T raceyde.
