Laguna; Schiede. 
The name is not inaptly applied, and we have little doubt of 
this being the plant of Chamisso and Schlechtendal, though 
t author does not notice the discoloured leaves, the unde 
in our dried specimen being of a much browner and paler tint 
than the upper one. We, on the other hand, have omitted to 
Notice in the figure of the under side of the leaves a constant 
and very important character, namely, the ustulate spot on the 
second vein from the base on each side of the costa. , It ee 
near the P. Carolinianus, but the leaves are less coriaceous an 
the flowers are much smaller.
