THE GENUS NOTOTRICHE. 255 
This species, which was one of the earliest known, is of some interest historically from 
having served as the type for two of the species of Turczaninow’s genus Nototriche *, 
viz., N. discolor, Turcz., and N. cheilanthifolia, Turcz., founded on D'Orbigny's no. 1357 
and no. 1354 respectively, though the former number had already been described by 
Remy as Sida anthemidifolia (Pl. 27. fig. 8). N. anthemidifolia is allied to some other 
species fairly closely, especially N. saltensis (P1. 29, figs. 7, 8), N. Mandoniana, N. velutina, 
N. longirostris, and N. pseudoglabra (Pl. 29. fig. 5), &e. 
The ripe fruits are known from Weddell’s specimens from Peru (Pl. 30. figs. 31, 32), 
but not from the earlier specimens collected by D'Orbigny. A figure of the calyx and 
hairy vagina and stipules is given on Pl. 30. fig. 1. 
As regards geographical distribution, this species inhabits Southern Bolivia, Peru, and 
N. Chili, and stretches into Argentina, which appears to be the home of N. saltensis, 
whilst the other allied forms are found in Southern Bolivia and Peru. 
A figure of a leaf of a plant collected by Steinmann is given by Solms-Laubach +}. 
Count Solms very kindly allowed me to see his specimen and I consider it to be 
N. anthemidifolia or a closely allied species, but owing to the youthful character of the 
leaf an exact determination was not possible.

terraneus, lignosus, firmus, ramosus. Folia rosulatim disposita, viridia; petiolus 
cirea 2 cm. longus ; stipulee petiolo supra medium adnate et cum eo quasi vaginam 
membranaceam 5 mm. latam formantes, parte libera membranacea late subulata 
acuta 5 mm. longa, uti vagina facie et in dorso glabra ad margines sparse setoso- 
ciliata; lamina ambitu plus minusve ovato-elliptica, palmatifida vel sub-bipinnatifida, 
1:0-1'8 em. longa, supra dense stellato-tomentosa, infra glabra, segmentis plus 
minusve confertis integris vel 3-7-fidis, lacinulis lineari-oblongis obtusis 3-4 mm. 
longis apice setoso-ciliatis. Flores ad petiolum medium insidentes. Calyx ad 
medium 5-lobus, cirea 10 mm. longus, extus sparsissime ciliatus, lobis triangulari- 
acutis intus stellato-ciliatis. Corolla roseo-violacea, 1:6-1:8 em. longa; petala 
spathulato-obovata, concava, basi in tubum 4-5 mm. longum coalita. Stamina 
pauca, in caput globosum instructa. Carpella 8-12, 8-9 mm. longa, subulato-

PERU: Pacechac Valley, near Urubamba, 4500-5000 mm., A. W. Hill, 76,77 (Herb. 
Kew.: Pl. 30. figs. 25, 26). 
This species is like a large form of N. longirostris, but differs in the larger carpels 
with longer beaks and in their tomentum. In N. longirostris the carpel is covered on 
the back with short stellate hairs and the beak with longer and more bristle-like hairs 
(Pl. 30. fig. 22), whilst in N. aristata both the body of the carpel and the beak are 
covered with fairly long, stiff bristles (Pl. 30. figs. 25, 26).
