THIBAUDIA ANGUSTIFOLIA. 
Foliis oblongo-lanceolatis acutiusculis subsessilibus obscure 
penninerviis marginibus recurvis serratis,* pedunculis axil- 
laribus aggregatis pendulis basi parvi-bracteatis 1—3 floris, 
corolla brevi-cylindraceis, staminibus tubo brevioribus, fila- 
mentis in urceolum brevem connatis, antherz tubis elongatis 
rima elongata dehiscentibus, stylo exserto.

The stamens here entirely agree with those of Ceratostemma, 
according to Poeppig, while those of our Tab. 108, have the 
united filaments of Ceratostemma and the minute terminal pore 
of the tubes of the anther of Thibaudia—thus appearing inter- 
mediate. As far as I am aware, the only Thibaudia (including 
Ceratostemma of authors) which has serrated leaves is the 7. 
caulialata of Ruiz and Pavon, Fl. Peruv. v. 3. Ic. Ined. t. 386; 
but that is widely removed from the present species by the 
nature of the branches, form and size of the leaves, inflorescence 
and stamens.

* We regret that owing to the artist looking chiefly at the upper side of the 
leaves he has omitted the serratures, which indeed, on account of the recurva- 
roan of the margin, are only seen from beneath; and lithography unfor- 
mately does not admit of any alteration being made after a proof has been 
aon till which time the error was not discovered,
