 erecta striatula valde marcescens subferruginea. Pe- 

 dunculus 2- uncialis erectus parum angulatus. Germen 

 (ratione magnitudinis plantae) magnum grosse ovale ob- 

 tusissime trigonum. Tubus vix uncialis teres laevis 

 sordide prasino-viridulus. Corolla; lacinice loratae 8- 

 lineares acuta? lineam latae basi distinctae tubi colore 

 stellato-semireflexae. Corona primulina sexpartita 

 (quasi hexapetala) singulis partibus incrassatis erecto-

P.S. It is apprehended that as both the above described 

 plants have green flowers, no apology is necessary for relin- 

 quishing the specific name of viridiflorus for the former, as 

 names which have any tendency to mislead or delude, are ever 

 objectionable, and the green flowers are common to both.
