240 MR, A. W. HILL—REVISION OF 
species to Nototriche Orbignyana and N. sajamensis, and it seems clear that JV. Meyeni 
occupies a more or less intermediate position, as regards its leaf-form, between these two 
species. Between N. Meyent and Philippis NW. parviflora there is a close similarity 
not only in the lobation of the lamina, but also in the broad membranous stipules 
(Pl. 28. figs. 9, 10), a character which is also seen in my own species N. pedatiloba and 
N. turritella ; the relationship to this latter species is also pointed out by Ulbrich *. 
The uniformly minute size of the various parts of XN. parviflora, however, prevents 
the possibility of confusion between these two species. Both in N. Orbignyana, with 
which I have united M. Copelandii, Hieron. (v. p. 238), and in N. sajamensis the stipules 
are filiform and so serve to distinguish these two species from N. Meyeni. 
It is unfortunate that ripe fruits have not been found on these specimens ; those 
collected by Meyen have beaked carpels which are ciliate (Pl. 30, fig. 12). In Stübel's 
plants only a few carpels appear to come to maturity and the beaks were not clearly seen.

Peru: Dep. Arequipa, Vincocaya, 4376 m., 4. W. Hill, 78 (Herb. Kew.: Pl. 27. 
fig. 4; Pl. 28. fig. 12; Pl. 30. figs. 5, 10, 20). 
This species (Pl. 27. fig. 4) was found in the form of small cushions carpeting the 
ground together with X. argyllioides at Vincocaya near the summit of the Arequipa- 
Puno railway. The deeply and multi-lobed leaves (Pl. 28. fig. 12) point to a relationship 
between this species and N. sajamensis and N. Meyeni. "The leaf-lamina is divided up 
into erect fleshy lobulze, covered with stellate hairs on their upper surfaces. The lobule, 
which oceur in little groups of four or five, are really the lobes of the leaf divided almost 
to their bases. Each leaf is thus made up of about fifty lobule borne on a small pedate 
expansion (PI. 28, fig. 12). The plant is easily distinguished from all others by the 
broadly truncate, membranous stipules. The ruddy colour of the calyx with its 
pubescent lobes and its inflated condition as the carpels ripen are also characteristic 
features of this species (Pl. 30, fig. 5). For the fruits, v. Pl. 30. figs. 10, 20.
