glabrous. By oversight the upper surface of the leaf is described by Weddell as 
glabrous and the lower tomentose, when the reverse is really the case. The type- 
specimen of this species, according to Weddell (Chl. And. ii. p. 281), is the Castelnau 
plant, but in the Paris Herbarium neither of the two plants on the sheet has fruits ; 
on Gay’s sheet (no. 1478), however, a loose capsule was tucked under the label bearing 
ripe fruits which appear to belong to Gay’s plant. This latter specimen has been labelled 
M. longirostre, Wedd., by Weddell himself, and it was from it probably that he 
obtained the details of the fruits for his description, though the length of the beaks as 
given by Weddell is rather too long for these specimens. The occurrence of indigo in 
the leaves and calyces of the dried specimens of this species is clearly visible. 
Mandon’s specimens, no. 795, from La Paz, though not seen by Weddell, have been 
referred to M. longirostre (v. Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. xii. p. 82); they differ somewhat in the 
character of their tomentum from the type-specimens and in the presence of cilia at 
the ends of the lobes of the leaf. Steinmann also collected a specimen of this plant 
on the slopes of Illimani, which I have been able to see through the kindness of 
Count Solms, and this plant has been figured by him in Bot. Zeit. 1907, Taf. 2. 
fips. 5 & 12. In his fig. 5 the corolla is incorrectly represented, as the tube has been 
broken off (v. Bot. Zeit. 1907, p. 138). The corolla in this species has a tube of about 
4 mm. in length. 
N. longirostris is the smallest of the pinnatifid species and is very rarely branched ; 
the small plants consisting of a single leaf-rosette were found by me growing in the 
midst of low cushions of a species of 4zorella. This species appears to be closely allied 
to N. aristata, a much more robust plant from the hills above Urubamba, in which the 
beaks of the carpels are about 4°5 mm. in length. The tomentum on the carpels in 
N. longirostris consists of short-armed stellate hairs on the body of the carpel and longer 
and more setose hairs on the beak (Pl. 30. figs. 22, 23). In N. aristata both the lower 
portion of the carpel and the beak are provided with stiff setose hairs (Pl. 30. figs. 25, 26).
