52 MR. A. W. HILL—REVISION OF 
of N. pichinchensis ; in form also it can be derived from the leaf of that species. The 
central lobe of the original 5-lobed leaf appears to have grown up carrying the pair of 
intermediate lobes with it (Pl. 29. fig. 17), with the result that a simple form of pinnate 
leaf has been produced. N. Matthewsii (Pl. 29. fig. 11) may perhaps be regarded as 
showing an intermediate stage in the process.

The corolla-tube is practically absent in this species and the stamens are arranged in 
an elongated head as in N. stenopetala. In the blood-red corolla colour and spathulate 
petals it also shows similarity to the latter species, but the leaf-form in the two species 
is very different; in W. epileuca there are numerous obtuse leaf-segments, whilst in 
N. stenopetala they are very few and acute.

This small species with bipinnatifid leaves shows a considerable amount of variation 
as to its degrees of hairiness, the adult leaves of my own specimens being almost
