GENTIANA HERREDIANA, faim. 
GENTIANACER. 
Has. Peru, Cordillera of Muiia, 12,000-13,000 feet, Mr. Pearce. 
Canlis 14-3-pedalis teres. Folia caulina inferiora 4-6 poll. longa, © 
superiora 2-3 poll. longa. Flores 13-2 poll. longi. Anthere oblong 
dorsifixes incumbentes ; filamenta complanata anguste linearia glabra, 
corolla breviora, prope basin tubi inserta. Ovarium anguste oblongum

point of the route between Chillo and Buldibuyo. But a solitary 
specimen was found. In his ‘ Chloris Andina’ Dr. Weddell enumerates 
nearly sixty species of Gentiana, of which he considers this ‘la plus 
elle du genre peut-étre.’ I feel a little uncertainty as to my identifi- 
cation of Mr. Pearce’s specimen with Dr. Weddell’s description of 
Raimondi’s plant, because he says the leaves are free at the base; but 
the general correspondence is so close that I do not think it would be 
' prudent to describe it as new.—D. OLIvER.
