A very interesting species, intermediate in some respects 
between the subgenera Astrophea and Granadilla. Thus, while the 
habit, the form of the flower, the faucial corona, and the gyndphore 
with a central node or dilatation, are those of § Astr ophea, the deep 
tubular basilar corona encircling the gynophore is like that of 
§ Granadilla.. The median or Shea corona is entirely- 
absent, a very rare circumstan

t is remarkable that so distinct a species should not before 
have been recorded from so well-worked a district. The 
quarters of the subgenus Astrophea are in the extreme north-western 
corner of South America, but a few are found in Brazil, oe 
them P. hematostigma. This last-named species is nearly allie
