Peru: Dep. Arequipa, Cord. inter Puno et Arequipa, 4000 m., Weddell, 4394 (Herb. 
Mus. Paris. : Pl. 27. fig. 6 ; Pl. 30. fig. 18); prope Vincocaya, 4500—4600 m., Copeland; 
Vineocaya, 4376 m., 4. W. Hill, 80 (Herb. Kew.: Pl. 27. fig. 7; Pl. 30. fig. 27). 
In the type of its leaf this species is very closely allied to JV. rugosa, and they also 
agree together in the general character and distribution of the tomentum, both on the 
lamina, stipules, and calyx (Pl. 27. figs. 6, 7). 
It is mainly in the deeper cutting of the lamina into five distinct segments and in the 
much larger flowers that W. argyllioides can be distinguished. Both these species show 
a reddish-purple colour on the petioles and calyces, which is a distinctive feature and is 
not seen in N. Philippii or other allied species. 
The range of this species appears to be restricted, as specimens have been collected up 
to the present only in the immediate neighbourhood of Vinocaya, near the railway-line 
between Arequipa and Puno. 
N. argyllioides is the species so long confused with N. ulophylla (q. v. p. 224), collected 
in the Cordillera near Lima by the U.S. Exploring Expedition. 
The nearest ally to this species appears to be N. Niederleinii from the Argentine, in 
which the glabrous stipules and vagina and the pulverulent tomentum of the lamina are 
more or less identicalin character. In the calyces and carpels (Pl. 30. figs. 18, 27) and in 
the general shape of the lamina the chief distinguishing characters are to be found.

Niederlein, 690 (Pl. 30. fig. 15) ; Cueva del Perez, Heironymus et Niederlein, 371. 
The lamina is glabrous below, and there is a corolla-tube of 4 mm. in length. In 
these respects there is considerable resemblance to N. argyllioides and N. rugosa. The 
carpel is shortly beaked and bears long bristle-like hairs (Pl. 30. fig. 15).
