Viola glandulifera. 



Caule brevi,foliis approximatis subcordato-ovatls obtusis crenato- 

 sublobatis glabriusculis longe petiolatis, stipulis bracteisque 

 longe glanduloso-ciliatis, petalis imberbibus (flavis), calcare 

 subcylindraceo obtuso calycem acutum ^equante. 

 Hab. Cordillera of Pillaro, Quitinian Andes, elevated 14,000 

 feet above the level of the sea. Prof. TV. Jameson. 

 A small but very pretty species. The stems are filiform, and 

 apparently subterraneous, the short leaf-bearing portion only 

 rising above the ground. In the sinus of each notch on the leaf, 

 and at the apex of each calycine leaf, there will be seen, under 

 a microscope, a small sessile dark-coloured gland. The beauti- 

 ful fringe of long hairs tipped with a gland on the stipules and 

 the bracteas, together with the bluntly crenato-lobate leaves, 

 are very characteristic of this species.
