THE GENUS NOTOTRICHE. 225 
named a specimen Malvastrum ulophyllum, A. Gray—No. 4394 in Herb. Mus. Paris. (PL; 37. 
fig. 6)—collected between Puno and Arequipa, without having seen Gray's type (v. Wedd. 
l. c. p. 280), and in his diagnosis in the * Chloris Andina, whilst keeping Gray's description 
of the species for the most part, he has added certain measurements belonging to his 
no. 4894. "Through the kindness of Count Solms-Laubach I have been able to examine 
a leaf and flower of Gray's type, which was sent to him from Harvard ; and from this the 
drawing of N. wlophylla (Pl. 98. fig. 1) has been made. Weddell’s no. 4394. from South 
Peru is a very distinct plant, as the great difference in the localities had already 
suggested, and it agrees exactly with one of my own specimens (no. 80) collected in the 
same neighbourhood, of which I have made a new species, N. argyllioides (Pl. 27. fig. 7). 
Copeland's plant, also from Vincocaya, published as Jf. ulophyllum, Gray, in Engl. Bot. 
Jahrb. xx. Beibl. no. 49, p. 43, also belongs to this new species. 
The true N. ulophylla is very closely allied to N, obcuneata, but it differs from that 
species in having longer lateral or secondary lobule, which are often again lobed, and 
the whole lamina has a very crisped appearance. It also differs in the smaller flowers 
and probably in the fruit, though the material of N. ulophylla was not in a sufficiently 
advanced stage to make certain on this point.

which bear incurved lateral lobes (Pl. 28. fig. 2). The upper surface of the lamina is
