Ecuapor: Monte Assuay ad Las Cruces, 4550 m., Hartweg, 918 (Herb. Kew., Pl. 29, 
fig. 14; Herb. Mus. Brit., Herb. Paris, Herb. Univ. Cantab.); Quito, Jameson 
(Herb. Kew.). 
N. Hartwegii, which has previously been confused with N. phyllanthos, is one of the 
most striking species of the genus. The stout branches covered with tbeir closely 
compacted leaves form cylinders of 4-5 cm. in diameter. The cuneate leaves (Pl. 29. 
fig. 14) are covered on the upper surface with a dense woolly tomentum. The corolla, 
which is almost polypetalous, is 2'5 em. long, and the stamens are arranged in an 
elongated column.
