102 New, Species of South American Plants 



slender, terete. Petioles 1.5 to 3 cm. long, slender. Blades 

 6 to 10 cm. long, 2 to 3.5 cm. broad, lanceolate with deeply- 

 cordate base, the sinus narrow, the lobes rounded or with an 

 obscure angle, and with long-attenuate summit, thin, bright- 

 green above, gray beneath. Flowers apparently solitary in the 

 axils, scarce. Pedicels 1.5 cm. long, filiform. Calyx parted 

 to the base, the lobes 2 mm. long, lance-linear. Coiolla 9 mm. 

 broad, deeply parted, hirsute without and puberulent within, 

 thin, green, the lobes ovate, obtusish. Crown 3.5 mm. broad, 

 thick, fleshy, purple, lightly sinuately lobed. Stigma 2 mm. 

 broad, deep purple, shallowly sinuately lobed. 



Specimen unique, collected in Bolivia by M. Bang without 

 number or data. 



Probably from near Cochabamba. 



Gonolobus leucodermis. 



Younger portions sparsely pubescent. Stems slender, the 

 internodes mostly twice as long as their leaves. Petioles 8 to 

 12 mm. long, rather broad, channelled above, somewhat dilated 

 at the base. Blades 5 to 8 cm. long, 3 to 5 cm. broad, ovate 

 with rounded base and mucronate summit, thickish, very pale- 

 green, the venation lightly prominent on both surfaces, and 

 sparsely puberulent on the upper, the secondaries 5 to 7 on a 

 side, moderately ascending, sharply falcate at the ends, the 

 venation coarsely reticulate. Flowers sub-umbellate, the um- 

 bels very shortly pedunculate, the peduncle subtended by a 

 small ovate bract, 5 to 8-flowered, the pedicels unequal, slender, 

 sharply angled, the longer twice the length of the flowers. 

 Calyx 5 mm. broad, lobed two-thirds of the way or more, the 

 lobes ovate, acutish. Corolla i cm. broad, lobed three-fourths 

 of the way, the lobes ovate, acutish, thin, green. Crown vefy 

 short, annulate, nearly entire, thickish. Stigma purplish 1. 5 

 mm. broad, strongly 5-sulcate on the tip and slightly 5-lobed 

 on the recurved margin. Corpuscle broadly ovate, obtuse, the 

 filament thick, curved, horizontal, the pollinium broadly oval, 

 sub-pendulous, the base hyaline. 



Specimen unique, collected by M. Bang, in Bolivia, without 

 number or data. Probably from near Cochabamba. 



Maripa acuminata. 



Inflorescence, etc., finely ferruginous tomentose. Stems 

 twining, stoutish, terete, the internodes mostly 5 or 6 cm. long, 

 shorter than their leaves. Petioles i to 2 cm. long, the blades 

 4 to 8 cm. long, 2 to 3 cm. broad, ovate, the rounded base shortly 

 and narrowly cordate, the summit acuminate and mucronate; 

 entire, thick, glabrous above, where the midrib is slightly 

 channelled and the finely reticulate venation is prominent,
