1. T. cacondensis Hiern, sp. n. 
A dwarf much-branched tree or shrub, from about 6 in. high 
upwards; branches glabrescent, pallid or ashy, sub-terete; 
branchlets somewhat quadrangular, puberulous at the extremities, 
leafy ; leaves narrowly elliptical obovate or oblanceolate, obtusely 
narrowed, rounded or scarcely apiculate at the apex, yellowish- 
green, wedge-shaped at the subsessile base, rigidly coriaceous, 
glabrescent, 1 to 3 in. long by } to 1 in. broad; margin narrowly 
revolute ; lateral veins 6 to 8 on each side of the midrib, not 
conspicuous, reticulate ; stipules from a short broad connate base 
subulate-acuminate, 3 to 3 in. long, puberulous at first, gla- 
brescent ; flowers nearly 3 in. long before expansion, about 3 in. 
long when expanded, subsessile, several together in opposite much 
abbreviated axillary little cymes, bracteolate, pentamerous ; 
bracteoles broad or calyculate, rounded-apiculate or truncate, 
puberulous, ciliolate, falling short of the calyx; calyx (including 
the ovary), 4 in. long, green, the limb ,, in. long, deeply divided ; 
segments ovate, rounded at the apex, glabrous everywhere except 
the ciliolate margins; corolla white, glabrous outside, the tube 
7 in. long, tubular funnel-shaped, pilose inside on the upper 
half up to the throat; lobes 3, in. long, glabrous on both sides 
except inside near the base, ciliolate about the apex, oval, rounded 
at the apex, contorted dextrorsely (as seen from above) in 
estivation, spreading in full flower ; anthers 5, glabrous, exserted, 
dorsifixed, lanceolate-linear, appendaged at the apex, 4 in. long ; 
filaments glabrous, flattened, 4, in. long, inserted just below the 
base of the corolla-lobes and alternating with them ; disk annular-

pressed, narrower than the calyx-limb, 2-celled ; style in. long, 
glabrous, cleft at the apex; ovules 2, collateral in each cell ; 
placentas fleshy ; fruit red, subglobose or ellipsoidal, + to 3 in. 
long, glabrous, somewhat ribbed vertically, 2-celled, tipped with 
the persistent calyx-limb, bracteolate at the base. 
Huitia.—A dwarf tree; anthers with a long subulate apiculus. By 
the road to Quipaca, past the fortress near Ferréo; fl. Oct. 1859. 
No. 3112. In bushy pastures on the right bank of the river of 
Lopollo, among shrubby Mimosas ; young fr. Dec. 1859. No, 3113. 
In thickets on the right bank of the river of Lopollo; fr. end of 
March 1860. The specimens afford evidence of the fruiting branches 
being shoots sprung up from the burnt stems of a previous season. 
No. 3114. 
The same species was collected at Caconda in Nov. 1877 in fi. by 
Anchieta, n. 109, and at the same place in Jan. 1878 in fr. by Capello 
and Ivens, n. 16; it is there called by the natives ‘“Onjamba” 
or “ Ojamba.”
