gibilis, D.C.); No. 364 (Spermacoce, п. sp.); №. 365 (Anomostephium, п. 
sp.); No. 366 (Chetostoma pungens, D.C.); No. 367 (Hebeclinium, n. sp.); 
and No. 368 (Vernonia, n. sp.). The first of these is a Melastomaceous 
shrub from сароез; all the others are from the campo. No. 364 (Sperma- 
coce, n. sp.), a neat little round heath-like bush from peaty places; its 
flowers, of which I only saw one, are light rose, but the numerous capsules 
borne on the tips of the shoots showed that it is an abundant bloomer, and 
must be very pretty when in flower, I gathered a lot of the plants, in 
order to get a few seeds, but most of them were already shed. 
Nov. 2nd.—In the forenoon was out in the campo, but was driven in 
about mid-day by thunder and rain. The only specimen I collected was 
No. 869 (Dipladenia, n. sp.), with scarlet flowers, different from the two 
kindred species I found in the province of St. Paul’s 
Nov. 3rd.—A wet day, with thunder—have not been able to get out. 
In a patch of Indian corn in the garden, No. 370 (Gnaphalium, n. sp., 
near Gaudichendianum) is growing in great abundance. It often appears 
on cultivated land quite spontaneously. 
4th.—Another wet day. Went out about mid-day to the campo 
for a short time, when the weather had some appearance of becoming fine, 
but it soon settled into a heavy soaking rain again, and I was forced to ` 
return to the house, having collected specimens of No. 371 (Cassia, sp.), 
and No. 372 (Sisyrinchium, зр.). 
Nov. 7th.—The weather has been a little better to-day, but still showery. 
I made an excursion to the campo, where, and in the capoes upon it, I 
collected the following species. No. 373 (Cuphaa thymoides, Camb.); No. 
374 (Pavonia muricata, St. Hil.); No. 875 (Nonnina, n. sp.); No. 376 
(Solanum, n. sp.); No. 377 (Oncidium, sp.) ; No. 878 (Lomatopeplus seri- 
ceus, Miers. Gen. nov. Violacearum). No, 376 (Solanum, т. sp.) is a tree 
Solanum 30 feet high. No. 377 (Oncidium) an epiphytal Oncidium with 
‚ yellow flowers. No. 374 (Pavonia muricata, St. Hil.) a very showy half . 
shrubby Malvaceous species, flowers rose, height 3 feet; it grows in the 
campo, and about the edges of capoes. No. 379 (Pitcairnea) is an epiphy- 
tal Bilbergia, very common in St. Paul's, less so here. 
Nov. 9th.—Left Tucunduva for Tageada. I collected during the day 
No. 380 (Banisteria, sp.), a malpighiaceous shrub; No, 381 (Oncidium, 
sp.); No. 882 (Oncidium), another orchid, of which I only met with a 
single plant; and No. 383 (Coffea), a herbaceous Melastomad from the 
campo. Day showery. 
Nov. 11th.—Thunder and rain, with intervals of fair. Collected speci- 
mens of No. 884 (Arthrostemma, n. sp.), and No. 885 (Amphilochia, n. sp.). 
'l'he first of these is a herbaceous Melastomad ; the second a shrub, grow- 
ing in crevices of the sandstone rock, near the stream that runs past the 
house. 
Nov. 12th.—We returned to Tucunduva to-day. Мо. 386 (Microlicia 
subsetosa, D.C.), & beautiful little Lathrad with purple flowers, is common 
on all the campos here and is just coming into bloom. 
Nov. 13th.—Went through several of the capaos in the neighbourhood 
of the fazenda to-day, and collected a lot of beautiful mosses, and specimens 
of the two Lycopodiuns, No. 387 (Lycopodium filiforme, Raddi), and No.
