penfandra and Geunsia farinosa ate identical. The error of this 

 supposition will be clear from our definitions of the several 

 species.

Our species has an affinity with G. pentandra with which it 

 is conform, among other things, in the minute reticulation of the 

 lower side of the leaves. Differences are the gradually, not ab- 

 ruptly decurrent base of its leaves, its less numerous nerves, 

 its small cymes, its hairy corolla and its glabrous and eglan- 

 dular ovary.
