Andreecia lateralia, folium caulinum superantia ; bractez sub 5-juge. 
Var. suborbieulata 8., foliis foliolisque fere orbiculatis, bractearum lobis 
interdum tenui-apiculatis. Hab. infra Banos, in fruticum hortensium 
ramulis; in M. Altar, ad Buddleje truncos—Forma in Andibus 
Quit. a Jameson lecta folia habet submajora basi distincte sub- 
cordata ; alia perianthia inordinate elongata, in sicco fere subulata. 
—Forme a typo paulo divergentes in Mexico quoque a cl. Liebmann 
lectee fuerunt (V. Gottsch. Mex. Leverm.). 
Obs. Caulis teres, extus rufo-fuscus opacus, intus pallidus, cellulis 
pluristratis subequalibus conflatus. Cellule folii subapicales, necnon 
auricule anticze, lobuli et folioli, iis medii folii duplo saltem minores. 
Cellule paucee lobi mediam basin versus magne, flavidee, ocellum irregu- 
larem sistunt. *

Fr. arietina, Tayl., cui etiam subinde adveniunt perianthia pluri-

calatis nullis.
