ancipital, somewhat thickened at the nodes. Cataphyls a single nearly 

 basal pair, short and spreading, white-margined. Leaves somewhat 

 obliquely elliptical-lanceolate, acute or obtuse, 2-4x6-8 cm., cuneately 

 wing-petioled for scarcely 10 mm. Spikes clustered, short (20 mm.), 

 with 3 or 4 short but very slender joints some 8-flowered in 4+2 series : 

 peduncle 2 mm. long. Fruit (immature) globose, smooth, 2 mm. in diam- 

 eter : sepals closely inflexed. Plate 197. 



Andean region. The type from Peru. 



Specimens examined: PERU. Chacapoyas (M. Mafhews, 1846, the 

 type, in the Delessert Herbarium at Geneva). 



43. RUGULOSAE. 



Leaves moderate, rather fleshy, drying finely rugulose, scarcely revo- 

 lute, subpinnately veined. Shoots fleshy, drying somewhat rugosely quad- 

 rangular. Cataphyls several pairs, on the basal joint only. Flowers in 

 4 or 4+2 series. Fruit round, nearly smooth, with closed sepals. Brazil. 



Leaves broadly elliptical. P. Warmingii.

More or less forked, the moderate branches with basal cataphyls only, 

 androgynous. Internodes rather short (2-6x30-50 mm.) , fleshy and wrin- 

 kled in drying, quadrangular, minutely papillate like the foliage. Cata- 

 phyls a nearly basal pair mostly followed by a second and sometimes by 

 a third pair at intervals of 10-15 mm., or exceptionally 6-8 crowded pairs, 

 ovate, rather spreading. Leaves broadly elliptical to elliptical-obovate, 

 mostly very obtuse, 2.5-4x4-6 cm., more or less abruptly wing-petioled 

 for 3 or 5-10 mm. Spikes mostly clustered, moderate (30-40 mm.), with 

 about 3 swollen joints some 6- to 18-flowered in 4 or 4+2 series : peduncle 

 short, usually with 2 or 3 pairs of scales. Fruit subglobose, nearly smooth, 

 4 mm. in diameter : sepals inflexed. Plate 198. 



Brazilian region ( ? exclusively) on Vochysia. The type from Lagoa 

 Santa. 



Specimens examined: BRAZIL. Lagoa Santa (Warming, 383, Jan. 

 14, 1865, the type). Organ Mts., Kio de Janeiro (Glaziou, 4012, Apr. 

 1870, the type of P. rugulosum which in this specimen differs in its 

 longer petioles and shorter fewer-flowered spike- joints, but is otherwise 

 scarcely distinguishable from the type).
