(about 8) channelled, the internodes 10-15 cm. long; leaves 
somewhat disposed to be erect, both petioles and petiolules 
strongly cirrhose, the former channeled throughout and grad- 
ually dilated downward, 7-10 cm. long, slender; divisions of 
leaf apparently 5, the lower pair distant, all much alike, on long 
slender petiolules, lanceolate with rounded or slightly nar- 
rowed base, regularly tapering to an acute point, 7-10 cm. long 
1-2 cm. broad, some with a strong and sharp lobe upon one 
side, coriaceous with 2-4 sharp and strong parallel veins from 
near the base, prominently but sparingly reticulate; peduncles 
in flower about 5 cm. long, ribbed, the panicle compound, 
its few divisions each 5-8-flowered, the branches cinereous; 
lower bracts similar to the leaf divisions but narrower, the 
bracteoles elongated, strap-shaped and, like the pedicels and 
calyx, densely white hairy, or the bracteoles tawny; sepals 4, 
oblong, obtuse, tawny with narrow white margins, about 1 cm. 
long by 4 mm. broad, somewhat leathery, exceeding the nu- 
merous stout stamens ; akenes numerous, light brown, with 
thick, lighter colored margins, villous, oblanceolate, about 5

Thalictrum podocarpum, H. B. K. Nov. Gen. v. 38. Songo, Nov., 
1891 (893). Vicinity of Cochabamba, 1891 (758). — Rusby 
501 and 502. ; 
Ranunculus pilosus, Н. B. К. Nov. Gen. v. 45. Vicinity of La 
Paz, 10,000 feet, 1890 (147). — Rusby 510. 
Ranunculus repens, L. Sp. Pl. 779. Flowers double. Yungas, 
1890, escaped (190). — Mandon 878. Dr. Britton informs me 
that all the Andean specimens in the Kew herbarium are 
double flowered.

Guatteria pogonopus, Mart. Fl. Bras. xiii. i. 34. Yungas, 1890.

BERBERIDE4. 
Berberis Boliviana, Lechl. Berb. Amer. Austr., 21 (?). Songo, 
Nov., 1890. (863) = Mandon 864. Judging from the de- 
scription in Chlor. And. 294, Mr. Bang's plant differs in the 
size and number of leaves, the number of flowers, and their 
disposition.
