 Nutlets of this species were collected by a goatherd for Dr. Elias 

 Santos, who sent them to Dr. G. V. Perez of Tenerife. Plants 

 raised from these nutlets flowered at Orotava during June- 

 September, 1913, and were recognised as representing an un- 

 described species by Dr. Perez, who has sent notes, photographs^ 

 dried specimens and nutlets to Kcav, where two plants flowered in 

 June, 1914. The new species has been named in recognition of 

 Dr. Perez's services to Canarian Botany generally, and to the 

 study of the genus Echium in particular.

Costa Pica. Near Cachi, E. Lanhester. 



Flowered at Kew in June, 1914. It is very distinct from most 

 others of the section, and closely resembles the Guatemalan 

 P. myriantha, Lehm. et KranzL, in habit, but differs in the shape 

 and colour of the lip. It is very inconspicuous, owing to the fact 

 that the small flowers are borne in fascicles below the leaves. The 

 flowers are deep yellow, with the lip and column dark purple.
