Paris.) ; Prov. Larecaja, prope Sorata, 4500 m., Mandon, 800 (Herb. Mus. Paris.,

There is a note by Weddell on Mandon, 800, in Paris Herbarium, “ = var. hirsutior quoad 
petiolos et calycem.” The three collections attributed to this species show certain indi- 
vidual differences, but they do not seem to be of sufficient importance to merit description. 
As in N. sajamensis, the stipules are filiform and the cutting of the lamina is somewhat 
similar. In NW. Orbignyana, however, the cutting is much deeper and the segments are 
long. The corolla-tube is very short and the stamens are arranged in a globular head. 
In N. sajamensis there is a corolla-tube 5 mm. in length. 
31. NoTOTRICHE DISSECTA, A. W. Hill—Fruticulus depressus, cespitosus, pulvinatus ; 
caudex subterraneus, lignosus, firmus, ramosus. Folia arcte aggregata, sulphureo- 
viridia; petiolus circa 1 cm. longus; stipulee petiolo supra medium adnate et cum eo 
quasi vaginam membranaceam formantes, parte libera herbacea lineari-acuta 8-9 mm. 
longa uti petiolus lanato-stellato-tomentosa; lamina ambitu semicircularis, profunde 
trifida, circa 6 mm. longa, 1:2 cm. lata, supra dense infra laxe lanato-stellato- 
tomentosa, segmentis eequalibus biternatifidis, 27-lobis, lobis lincari-oblongis sub- 
acutis. Flores breviter pedicellati, ad petiolum medium insidentes. Calya fere ad 
medium 5-lobus, lanato-stellato-tomentosus, 8-9 mm. longus, lobis anguste tri- 
angularibus acutis. Corolla rosea, circa 1"7 cm. longa; petala oblongo-obovata, 
subtruncata, basi in tubum 6 mm. longum coalita. | Carpella matura non visa.

Peru: Dep. Apurimac, Andahuaylas, 3900-4300 m. (Feb. 1867), Pearce (Herb. 
Kew et Mus. Brit.: Pl. 28. fig. 13). 
This very beautiful species collected by R. Pearce, has until now been confused with 
N. Orbignyana, to which it bears some external resemblance; the leaf-cutting, however, 
is very regular and the three main segments are all of equal size (Pl. 28. fig. 13), 
whilst in N. Orbignyana the median segment is the smallest. The tomentum of stellate 
hairs with long stiff bristles gives this species a characteristic appearance. The large 
rose corolla with its long tube also distinguishes this species easily from N. Orbignyana. 
The leaf-rosettes form regular hemispherical little cushions about 4 cm. in diameter, 
which are more or less yellow in colour, owing to the dense felt of hairs covering the 
leaves.
