Not so tall as C spicata, leaves shorter and thicker, flowers larger, 

 sepals broader, style shorter, with larger stigmates, anthers much 

 larger.

45. Schuebleria coarctata, sp. n., caule fiUformi subsimplici, foHis oppo- 

 sitis linearibus, cyma coarctata, coroUaj flavescentis calycem dimidio supe- 

 rantis lobis oblique ovatis acutis tubum subsequantibus, stigmate Hneari- 

 clavato. — Arid Savannahs on the Rupunoony. Schomburgk, n. 167. 



Very near S. tenella, but besides the dense cyme and linear stig- 

 mate, the sepals are longer, spreading at the maturity of the capsule, 

 and the flowers are occasionally, hut very seldom, tetramerous. 



Grisebach had unfortunately only seen a specimen past flower of 

 this plant, which he referred to the Exacum tenuifolium of Aublet, 

 and trusting to that author's figure and description, established it as 

 a distinct genus, under the name of Apophragma, and characterized 

 chiefly by the supposed bilamellate stigma and appendiculate stamina. 

 But to me it appears evident, that although Aublet's principal figure 

 exactly represents the Schuebleria tenella, yet that the details are taken 

 from a Coutoubea or a Schultesia ; at any rate none of the Guiana 

 specimens before me off^er anything like what he describes and fi- 

 gures. If the above supposition be correct, Aublet's species and 

 Grisebach's Apophragma must be suppressed altogether.
