ering 5-6 cm. long; flowers sessile, 4-5 mm. long; calyx-lobes 
strigose, one-half the length of the ARE lanceolate, tapering 
from the base, acute, short- aristate; corolla strigose, the tube 
ovoid- -cylindrical with contracted mouth, the lobes nearly one- 
fourth the total length, linear-acuminate, acute, anthers inserted 
a little below the middle of the tube and reaching not quite to the 
lobes, lanceolate, acuminate-appendaged, 4-celled; style very stout, 
the 5-lobed annulus slightly below the middle, the terminal por- 
tion conical, obtuse, the ovary scarcely twice as large as thé an- 
nulus; fruit densely strigose, shorter than the calyx-teeth, broader 
than long, the nutlets apparently separating in pairs, attached 
near the base to the short broad gynobase, SE a short blunt 
inturned apex.

HELIOTROPIUM (?) BOLIVIANUM sp. n. 
Root rather stout; stems several, sub-erect, stoutish, 1-2 dm 
long, light brown, de nsely hirsute with spreading hairs; inter- 
nodes one-half to o thirds the length of the leaves; leaves ses- 
sile, 4-5 cm. long, I-1.5 cm. wide, lanceolate, the inequilateral base 
narrowed, apex obtuse or acutish, above dark green, scabrous 
with impressed veins, beneath yellowish with prominent veins, the 
primary about 5 pairs; cymes terminal, dichotomous ; flowers 
about 7 mm. long, the calyx less than half the length of the 
corolla; calyx-lobes lanceolate, obtusish ; corolla pilose, the tube 
cylindraceous, 5-angled, the limb broad, EE pli- 
Mise lobed ; fruit apparently only 1-carpelled by abortion and 
I-seeded ; seed exalbuminous, cotyledons large, plane. 
Vic. Cochabamba. 1891 (926). A positive determination of 
the genus is prevented by the peculiarly reduced» fruit; but the. 
style is that of Heliotropium. It has the corolla of Euploca, but 
not its stamens nor style.
