their leaves, rather densely flowered, the bracts very short and 

 broad, the flowers very shortly and stoutly pedicelled. Calyx 

 3 or 4 mm. long, urceolate-campanulate, the teeth very short 

 and broad, mostly acutish. Corolla 15 mm. long, lobed about 

 a fifth of the way, the tube regularly infundibular, sharply 

 nerved, the lobes ovate and obtuse. Filaments attached below 

 the middle of the tube, the anthers and stigma reaching the base 

 of the lobes. Anthers broader than long. Style stout, stigma 

 large, slightly lobed. Ovary 2 mm. long and nearly as broad, 

 obovoid. 



"A shrub 3 or 4 feet high; extremely rare on the extreme 

 summit of San Lorenzo Ridge, about 7000 feet. January 25. 

 Flowers purplish." (Herbert H. Smith, Colombia, 1896.) 



Cestrum papyraceutn. 



Glabrous, the branchlets elongated and very slender, sul- 

 cate. Stipule-like appendages at the base of the petioles 

 strongly falcate, obtuse, about 6 mm. long and 3 mm. wide. 

 Petioles 5 or 6 mm. long, margined. Blades 8 to 12 cm. long, 

 3 to 4 cm. broad, lanceolate with acute base and acuminate and 

 acute summit, very thin, bright-green, the midrib impressed 

 and 2-nerved above, broad, flat and nerved underneath. Ra- 

 ceme terminal, few-flowered, the bracts elongated, linear, the 

 flowers sessile. Calyx 3 mm. long, campanulate, the teeth 

 ovate, very short, as broad as long or broader. Corolla-tube 

 2 cm. long, I mm. wide, cylindrical, slightly broadened at the 

 summit, the lobes 5 to 6 mm. long, ovate, obtuse. Filaments 

 attached near the base of the lobes, short, the anthers large. 

 Style filiform, the stigma peltate, bi-penicillate.

Cuspidaria ovalis 



Specimens in fruit. Glabrous throughout. Petioles (only 

 the upper seen) 3 to 5 cm. long, slender, terete, the leaves tri- 

 foliolate, the lateral petiolules 1.5-2.5 cm. long, the terminal 

 a half longer; lateral and terminal blades subequal and sub- 

 similar, 8 to 16 cm. long by 4 to 8 cm. broad, oblong or oval, 

 sub-rotund at base, shortly and bluntly pointed at the summit, 

 thickish. Principal veins about 6-8 pairs, lightly upcurved, 

 connected by secondaries, all the venation very slender, finely 

 reticulate and lightly prominent on' both sides. Pods about 

 20 cm. long and 1.5 to 2 cm. broad, straight, light-brown, trav- 

 ersed in the center of each side by a faint ridge and winged on 

 each side by a thin coriaceous margin about as wide as the middle 

 portion. Body of seed brown, nearly semicircular, 12 mm. in 

 greatest breadth, the white hyaline wing about as wide on each 

 side, wanting at top and bottom.
