5 æquilongis, 2 anterioribus angustioribus, intus glabris; drupis carnosis.—In Chile : 
v. s. in herb. Mus. Brit. Quillota (Bertero, 1253). 
A species differing from the preceding in its larger, acuminated, very pale leaves, of 
much thinner texture, extremely pale beneath, with very fine nerves: the leaves are 
10-17 lines long, 7-10 lines broad, on a petiole 1} line long; the pubescent rachis of the 
. raceme is 2 lines long; the calyx is 1 line long, 4 line in diameter, with two of its teeth 
very minute, 5-nerved, slightly pubescent outside, minutely pellucido-punctulate: the 
corolla is funnel-shaped, almost regular, the tube, with several parallel nerves, is 6 lines 
long, with a border of five ovate lobes, equally 13 line long, the two anterior narrower, 
one posterior broader, all glabrous inside, the tube below the insertion of the stamens is 
more densely pilose than in the preceding species; the two longer stamens are slightly 
exserted; style slender; stigma more distinctly 2-lamellated.

insula Juan Fernandez: v. s. in herb. nostr. loc. cit. (Miller); in hb. Hook. loc. cit. 
(Cuming, 1331); ibidem, Citharerylon elegans nominatus (Philipi, 1861); ibidem 
(Douglas, 56); ibidem (Bertero, 1498) ; ibidem (Mrs. Graham). : 
A species peculiar to the island of J uan Fernandez, differing from all the preceding in 
its more thickly coriaceous, more shining, longer leaves, canaliculately recurved from the 
base to the apex, and more thickly punctated beneath, and also in its very long tubular 
corolla of a rich purple colour. In Mrs. Graham's specimen the leaves are shorter, Cor- 
date at base, and somewhat obtuse at the summit. In the branches the axils are 1 inch, 
in the branchlets about 4 inch apart; the leaves are 1-12 in. long, 6-12 lines broad, on 
a petiole 1-2 lines long: the rachis of the raceme is 3 lines long, the pedicels 3 lines ; 
the calyx 2-23 lines long; the tube of the corolla 1i inch long, the lobes of the border 
3 lines long, 2 lines broad; the anterior stamens are exserted as far as the lobes, the 
posterior pair extend a little beyond the mouth, the sterile filament being about hal 
their length: the drupes are 3-4 lines in diameter.
