232 MR. A. W. HILL—REVISION OF 
inflexis 4-6 mm. longis, infra sparsissime stellata. Calyx 1-13 cm. longus, fere ad 
medium 5-lobus. Corolla circa 2 cm. longus. | Carpella immatura. 
Malvastrum pichinchense (forma), Hieron. in Engl. Bot. J ahrb. xx. Beibl. n. 49, p. 43. 
Ecvapor: Andes Quitensis, Spruce, 6542 (Herb. Kew.; Herb. Univ. Cantab.); 
Chimborazo, 4000 m., 4971; Pichincha, Sodiro, 159 (Herb. Berol.). 
The plants labelled “ S. pichinchensis, 14,000 ft." and Hartweg's plant No. 917 in 
Herb. Kew. differ from the specimens collected under N. pAyllanthos in a few points: 
the leaf-lamina is about 1-1:2 em. long by 1:5 cm. across, with three segments trilobed 
and each again trilobate, also the vagina and petiole are stellately hairy above. These 
plants seem to afford a link connecting plants like Spruce, no. 6542, with those which 
can be definitely referred to N. pAyllanthos, and are probably very close to the above- 
described variety of N. pichinchensis. 
Under the name Malveopsis pichinchensis, O. Kuntze, var. decolorans, O. Kuntze, 
in Rev. Gen. Plant. iii. 2, p. 21, Kuntze describes a plant :—‘ Flores albi striato- 
ezerulescentes. Bolivia: 5000 m., Tunarigebirge." 
From our knowledge of the habitat of JN. pichinchensis it seems unlikely that Kuntze's 
plant belongs to this species. 
For further notes on this species see p. 260. A figure of the leaf is given (PI. 29. 
fig. 12).
