 or rather oblong, obtuse, or subcordate at the base, acute, or 

 acuminated at apex, very much wrinkled, scabrous above, and 

 hairy along the midrib, but clothed with soft hairs or pubescence 

 beneath, having the margins reflexed and unequally subsinuated ;

 flowered ; calyx tubular, obconical, 10-striped ; corolla salver- 

 shaped : tube length of calyx : limb 5-cleft : divisions narrow, 

 elliptic, obtuse, one-half as long as the tube, fj . S. Native of 

 tropical Brazil, Sello. C. grandis, Cham, et Schlecht in Linnaea, 

 4. p. 473, but not of Roxb. Branches terete, but clothed with 

 fuscescent hairs, and rather angular and striated while young. 

 Largest leaves almost a foot long, and 4^ inches broad, on short

Sello's Cordia. Tree. 



67 C. TOMENTOSA (Cham, et Schlecht. in Linnaea, 4. p 472.) 

 leaves ovate, or elliptic, to ovate and obovate, rarely oblong, 

 acuminated, acute, usually acute at the base, and drawn out 

 a little into the petioles, rarely obtuse, generally unequal, clothed 

 beneath with dirty, canescent, adpressed tomentum, as well as 

 the young shoots, inflorescence, and calyxes, but beset with a 

 few starry hairs on the upper surface ; calyx 4 lines long ; 

 limb of corolla 5-cleft : segments rounded at top ; stamens 

 about a third part shorter than the segments of the corolla. 

 J? . S. Native of the South of Brazil, Sello. This species 

 is said to differ from C. Cerdana, in the larger flowers, in the 

 stamens being shorter than the corolla, in the hairs being stel- 

 late and much more crowded, in the leaves being broader and 

 shorter, &c. There is also a variety of this with narrower 

 leaves.

 sub-fastigiate, tomentose ; calyx nearly sessile, cylindrical, 

 deeply lO-furrowed, nearly an inch long : teeth unequal ; 

 corolla funnel-shaped, with a 5-cleft limb, and rounded, obtuse 

 segments ; stamens inclosed in the throat. tj . S. Native 

 of Brazil, in the province of Minas Geraes, Lhotzky and Sello. 

 Branches irregularly many-angled, smoothish ; angles obtuse ; 

 bark separating. Largest leaves 7| inches long, and 3i broad. 

 Inflorescence somewhat cymose, smaller and denser than in 

 C. Gerascdnlhus, hardly exceeding the leaves. Calyx clothed 

 with velvety tomentum both inside and outside. Corolla with a 

 short tube and wide limb. Stamens villous at the base. Ova- 

 rium obpyramidal, with a flattish top.

 cence capitate ; calyxes clothed with simple tomentum ; tube of 

 corolla twice as long as the calyx ; limb funnel-shaped, 5-lobed : 

 lobes dilated, short, somewhat emarginate ; stamens short, in-

 clothed with stellate down or tomentum beneath, and rather 

 scabrous above ; inflorescence, flowers, and the rest, as in C. 

 Gerascdnlhus, Jacq. ; of which it is perhaps only a mere variety.

Cnjabo Cordia. Tree or shrub. 



73 C. CHAMISSONIA'NA ; leaves petiolate, large, broad-ovate, 

 acute, rather wrinkled, scabrous above, and hairy beneath ;

 throat of the corolla, which is villous. ^ . S. Native of 

 Brazil, Sello. C. latifolia, Cham, in Linnaea, 8. p. 126, but not
