  of

  Prof.

   Coast 
  Survey, 
  at 
  San

  This 
  specimen 
  combines 
  the 
  characters 
  of 
  several 
  species, 
  besides 
  we 
  have 
  the 
  

   seeds 
  not 
  before 
  sufficiently 
  noted. 
  The 
  flexuous 
  branches 
  are 
  pentagonally 
  

   striate 
  ridged, 
  and 
  the 
  whole 
  plant 
  remarkable 
  for 
  its 
  densely 
  villous, 
  or 
  short 
  

   ferrugio-canescent-hirsute 
  character 
  throughout, 
  with 
  no 
  appreciable 
  approach 
  

   to 
  smoothness 
  ; 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  not 
  "entire" 
  but 
  eniarginate, 
  acute, 
  mucronate, 
  

   not 
  "acuminate," 
  nor 
  decurrent 
  ; 
  but 
  like 
  A. 
  Guatamalense 
  the 
  racemes 
  are 
  ax- 
  

   illary, 
  not 
  " 
  opposite 
  the 
  leaves," 
  and 
  the 
  tendrils 
  both 
  lateral 
  and 
  terminal 
  ; 
  pe- 
  

   dicels 
  sessile 
  or 
  sub-sessile 
  on 
  short 
  stipes 
  and 
  in 
  fasicles 
  of 
  1 
  to 
  4 
  (not 
  1 
  to 
  3) 
  

   articulated 
  below 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  bracts 
  minute, 
  pseudo-bracteoles 
  (several 
  from 
  ab- 
  

   ortion 
  of 
  pedicels) 
  rather 
  more 
  ovate-acuminate 
  ; 
  filaments 
  stipitate-glandular, 
  

   sometimes 
  extending 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  investing 
  stamenal 
  cup, 
  with 
  numerous 
  

   sessile 
  glands, 
  a 
  few 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  scattered 
  over 
  the 
  inner 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  (quincun 
  

   cially 
  imbricated) 
  sepals 
  ; 
  stigmas 
  depressed-capitate 
  both 
  reniform 
  and 
  bilobed 
  ; 
  

   stamens 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  styles, 
  these, 
  like 
  the 
  sepals, 
  enlarge 
  after 
  iufloresence, 
  

   becoming 
  very 
  dark 
  purple 
  almost 
  black 
  ; 
  styl-es 
  3 
  (rarely 
  confluent 
  into 
  one, 
  at 
  

   the 
  base) 
  ; 
  the 
  margins 
  of 
  the 
  obtuse 
  (or 
  subacute) 
  sepals 
  minutely 
  ciliate
