Laubeetia. 



A genus establislied by Prof. De CandoUe in 1844, upon a single Peruvian species. This 

 is a climbing plant, with terete branches, opposite or ternately verticillate leaves, 

 ovate-elliptie, acuminate, obtuse at the base, obliquely penninerved, 4 in. long, 1^ in. 

 broad, on petioles 5 lines long. It has a terminal inflorescence upon a long peduncle, 

 bearing many alternate flowers on pedicels ^ in. long; 5 sepals, without inner scales; 

 tube of corolla 9 lines long, cylindrical for the length of 6 lines, swelling above ; seg- 

 ments dolabriform, 3 lines long, with sinistrorse convolution; stamens seated on the 

 contraction of the tube, the anthers acuminate, extending beyond the mouth, bidentate 

 at the base ; disk urceolate, as long as the 2 free ovaries, subcrenulate on the margin, 

 unequally and shortly cleft in one or two places ; style simple ; clavuncle subcapitate, 

 with a basal undulated membranaceous expansion; 2 slender foUicles, 18 in. long, 

 1-2 lines thick, containing many seeds 12 lines long, rostrate at their apex for J of their 

 length, and there densely and plumosely furnished with long hairs, as in Rhabdadenia, 

 the hairs extending 1 in. above the apex, which has no real coma. The species which 

 bears the specific name Boissieri, was found in the herbarium of Pavon, without mention 

 of its locality. 



The species of Laubertia enumerated by Grisebach aH belong to Bhabdadenia or 

 Angadenia. 



Ubechites. 



A genus established by Miiller in 1860 * ; but no figured analysis has been given of it. 

 The origin of the generic name is not stated ; and there is nothing in its structure that 

 can explain this ambiguity. He describes three Mexican species, and a fourth from the 

 West Indies, the EcUtes suberecta of Jacquia (not of Swartz and Andrews). The fruit 

 consists of 2 curving follicles, as figured by Jacquin, who simply describes the seeds as 

 oblong, and acute at both ends ; by Miiller these are said to be linear, ovoid, imbricate, 

 acuminate, costate, pilose all over, the superior hairs far extended beyond a slender 

 rostrum, from which thfey chiefly originate pinnately, as in a feather, after the manner 

 seen in Bhabdadenia ; the seeds were too immature to show the embryo. The nume- 

 rous seeds, in the language of Miiller, are "in placenta demum membranacea pluri- 

 lameUosa numerosa, quibus junctae sunt squamulae tot quot semina peculiares cymbi-
