21. NororricuE JAMEsonu, A. W. Hill.—Fruticulus depressus, ceespitosus, ssepius pulvi- 
natus; caudex subterraneus, lignosus, firmus, ramosus. Folia aliquando repanda, 
cinerea; petiolus 2-4 em. longus; stipulee petiolo supra medium adnatee et cum eo 
quasi vaginam herbaceam formantes, parte libera herbacea lineari-oblonga obtusa 
vel subaeuta 3-5 mm. longa uti petiolus facie et in dorso dense velutino-stellato- 
tomentosa, ad margines stellato-ciliata; lamina ambitu late ovata vel cordata, 
trifida, circa 1:2 cm. longa, 1:2 cm. lata, supra dense velutino-stellato-tomentosa, infra 
stellato-tomentosa, segmentis trilobis, lobis integris vel trisectis lobis et lobulis 
obovato-oblongis. Flores petiolo ad medium insidentes. Calyx ultra medium 
5-lobus, 1:0-1:1 em. longus, lobis triangulari-ovatis acutis 6-7 mm. longis, velutino- 
stellato-tomentosus. Corolla ceeruleo-violacea, circa 2 cm. longa ; petala spathulata, 
retusa, basi in tubum 3-4 mm. longum coalita. Stamina in cylindricam columnam 
instructa, filamentis liberis brevibus. Carpella 6 mm. longa, late birostrata, rostris 
2 mm. longis, dorso stellato-pilosa.

The specimens included under this new species have been formerly included under 
either N. phyllanthos or N. pichinchensis. It is distinguished from them particularly 
by the dense velvety tomentum which covers the whole plant and by the corolla-tube, 
in both of which characters it shows resemblance to N. artemisioides. The species 
appears to be confined to the mountains Chimborazo and Antisana.

Peru: Dep. Cajamarca, in montibus prope Hualgayoc, 3900-4000 m., Weberbauer, 
4068 (Herb. Berol.: Pl. 28. fig. 6). 
In this species the stamens, which are relatively few, are arranged in a somewhat 
elongated head. 
Both in this species (Pl. 28. fig. 6) and in N. Lobbii (Pl. 98. fig. 8) the lamina is deeply 
divided, so much so that it appears at first more natural to place these species amongst 
the forms with deeply dissected leaves. Yet as regards their leaf-structure they seem 
to show a definite affinity to N. obtusa. 
In all three species the whole plant is covered by a soft velvety tomentum. N. obtusa, 
N. artemisioides, and N. Lobbii thus appear to be three nearly related forms. Moreover, 
an affinity appears to exist between these forms through N. artemisioides with N. Jamesonii 
and the other species from Ecuador. 
23. NororTRIcHE Lossi, A. W. Hill (desc. emend.).— Fruticulus ramosus, subherbaceus, 
ssepius pulvinatus; caudex tenuis, lignosus, ramosus. Folia aggregata, cinereo- 
viridia; petiolus 2:5-3 em. longus; stipulz petiolo supra medium adnate (in foliis 
non-floriferis seepius abortze) et cum eo quasi vaginam circa 2 mm. latam formantes, 
parte libera lineari-aeuta vel filiformis circa 5 mm. longa uti petiolus et vagina facie
