ginated rounded lobes ; the style is erect, smooth, thickened and 
hollow towards the summit ; the stigma consists of two oblong, 
adpressed, semiterete fleshy lobes, lined inside with green viscous 
glands.

This species bears much resemblance in the form and size of 
its leaves to J. Hookeriana, but its inflorescence is very different, 
its calyx not half the size, the sepals less acuminate, the corolla 
longer and more contracted in its lower half. The leaves are 
5 inches long, 21 inches broad, on a petiole 3 to 3 inch in length ; 
they have a silvery lustre beneath, although covered somewhat 
more sparsely with yellow stellate or rather brachiate tomentum. 
The racemes, almost fasciculate at the apex of the branch, are 
scarcely more than 3 of an inch in length ; the pedicels are inch 
long in flower, 1 inch long in fruit; the sepals are little more 
than 4 inch long and 3 inch broad at base, and do not increase in 
size, but remain erect, separated, coriaceous, and embracing the 
ovate berry, 2 inch long, % inch diameter, crowned by the long, 
slender, persistent style ; the seeds are 2 lines long, nearly a line 
in breadth, and they have afforded the structural features given 
in the generic character*. 
SARCOPHYSA. 
Among the plants collected by Goudot and Purdie in New 
Granada, is one that nearly approaches Solandra, Juanulloa and 
Marckea, not only in its scandent habit, with large coriaceous 
leaves, but in the form of its corolla. It differs however from 
those genera in having a large, ovate, fleshy, tubular calyx, which

of the flower of J. Hookeriana, will be shown in plate 46 of the ‘ IIllustr.
