Han. Andes of Quito. Prof. W. Jameson, n. 200, 
Of this I possess only a solitary specimen from my excellent 
friend Dr. Jameson; it is unquestionably a congener with the 
Lycium fuchsioides, H. B. K., lately figured in the Botanical 
Mag. t. 4149. For the present I retain the name of Lycium, 
but we may soon expect a valuable memoir on this and allied 
genera of Solanee by Mr. M iers, illustrated with excellent figures, 
when the present species and its allies will be found to constitute 
a new genus according to that gentleman, and assuredly a very 
natural one. The individual here represented has foliage 
much resembling the ZL, Juchsioides, but more rigid and some- 
what coriaceous, The flowers are considerably different from 
that species. The calyx is small, cut almost to the base into 
two nearly equal, broadly oval, concave lips, obscurely two- or 
three-toothed at the apex. The corolla is short, infundibuliform, 
approaching to campanulate, the limb spreading, of five ovate 
lobes, with teeth between, but small, and in the dried state 
easily overlooked, or then with difficulty seen at all. The 
lower half of the tube Within is hairy. The filaments of the 
Stamens included, Anthers oblong. Ovary elliptic, obtuse. 
Style as long as the stamens. Stigma bifid.
