MONOGRAPHIA POLYGALACEARUM. 25 
P. ANDENSIS, n. sp. 
Caulis ramosus sublignosus ; folia submagna ovato-lanceolata ; alæ elliptico- 
orbiculares, haud ciliatæ, quam carina haud longiores; petala superiora apice 
vix dilatata, apice orbicularia (limbus) quam carina multo breviora; stigma supe- 
rius plicatum, membranaceum, appendiculum basi involvens ; inferius appendi- 
culo fere duplo brevius; capsula et semina ignota. 
Tab. nostr. XIV, fig. 7—9. 
Pavon : Hb. propr. e Peruvia (Hb. Boiss.). 
Species valde distineta, forma stigmatum, P. platycarpæ affinis sed ob folia, 
alas, petala superiora dissimilia atque ob filamenta staminum glabra habituque 
valde distineta. 
Frutex, suffrutex (?) Caules lignosi, ramosi ; Rami cca. 10-15 cm. longi pube- 
ruli, erecti. Folia quam internodia longiora, brevissime petiolata ovata, ovato- 
elliptica vel ovato-lanceolata, acuta, pubescentia, herbacea,...., paulo minora 
quam in P. Rivinæfolia, basi cunata. Racemi terminales vel axillares, floribundi, 
pyramidales, Flores numerosi conferti pedicellati. Pedicellus florem subæquans. 
Flores paulo minus quam in P. Rivinæfol. Sepala exteriora lanceolata, acuta, ciliata. 
viridia. Alæ obovato-orbiculares, nervis pauciramosis, glabræ eciliatæ carinam 
æquantes haud superantes. Petala superiora basi cuneata, supra medium contracta, 
limbo terminali orbiculari, quam carina ‘/, breviora, per ‘}, cum tubo staminali 
connata. Antheræ glabræ, oblongæ, quam filamenta libera glabra multoties bre- 
viores. Ovarium ellipticum, pilosum. Stylus multoties longior media parte curvatus, 
apice vaginiformis. In basi vaginæ stigma superius lineare prominens papillosum, 
quam inferius glanduliforme eo contiguum fere duplo longius, modo P. platycarpæ. 
Locus natalis ignotus, sec. Pavon in Hb. Boiss. Peruvia ubi (?). Ob formam sti- 
gmatum P. platycarpæ Benth. affinis, recedit ab ea, characteribus supra indicatis. 
Inflorescentia hujus speciei, numero florum eorumque pulchritudine inter omnes 
illius sectionis, dispar. Vidi etiam in Hb. mus Paris. (M. Pavon; 1827). 
P. PLATYCARPA Benth. 
Caulis erectus angulate sinuatus, puberalus ; folia magna, late ovato-cuspidata, 
tenuia; racemi terminales, sublaxflori, multiflori ; flores submagni ; sepala exte-
