 '\\i,Ai.— Raddi, t. 9. Rh. O. F. t. 36 {non Gen. Fil. t. 90).

 J. Sm. {non Sw.), 



Hab. Brazil. — ^This comes near to the two preceding, but the stem is densely ferru-

 1 in. 1. — Gard. Serf. PL t. 70. A. Gardneriana, Presl. 



Hab. South Brazil, Gardner 4086, Burchell 6594-2. — Most like ohltmgifolia in texture,
