RICHARDIA CRUCIATA Sp. n. 
Sparingly and coarsely setose-hispid ; root stout, vertical, branch- 
ing ; stems 1—3 cm. long, ascending from the stout crown, branching 
from the base ; setae of the stipules few, whitish-cartilaginous, 1.5 
mm. long; leaves closely sessile, 1-1.5 cm. long, 4-8 mm. broad, 
ovate-oval, acute, strongly revolute, thick and rigid, bright green, 3- 
4-nerved,the nerves impressed above, very prominent underneath ; 
omen > terminal, closely sessile, few; calyx-tube lanceolate, 2 
, the lobes of equal length, lance-linear, very acute, se- 
tose- tufted at the apex; corolla-tube infundibular, 3.5 mm. long, 
the lobes alittle shorter, ovate, acute; stamens reaching about to 
the middle of the corolla-lobes ; style capillary, about as long as 
the corolla-lobes, the stigma large, capitate, 4-lobed ; fruit 4-coc- 
cous. 
I was at first inclined to regard this as a Diodia, in spite of the 
fruit structure, which is typical of Richardia; but Mr. N. E. Brown 
has kindly corrected me and shown that this, as well as D. ¢etracocca, 
which it resembles, belongs in Richardia. 
Near snow-line, Mt. Tunari, 1891 (1034).
