10 on each side, widely spreading and strongly falcate beyond 

 the middle, connecting at some distance from the margin, the 

 remaining venation coarsely reticulate, all brown-hairy on the 

 lower surface. Flowers in one or more whorls at the summit, 

 the pedicels to 4 cm. long, very slender, sharply angled. Calyx 

 bright-purple without, brown on the margins, campanulate, 12 

 or 14 mm. long, parted nearly to the base, the lobes ovate, acute 

 two much broader than the others. Disk of 5 oblong, obtuse! 

 erect scales half as long as the ovary, 2 of them united, the 

 others separate and distant. Ovary ovoid, 3 mm. long, 4 mm 

 broad. Style nearly 2 cm. long, thick, slightly dilated toward 

 the base, the stigmas thin, crenate. Corolla 2.5 cm. long, 

 strongly ventricose or saccate at the summit, where it is 15 mm! 

 long as pressed, gradually contracted to the oblique base, where 

 it is 8 mm. broad, the mouth 5-toothed, the teeth ovate, acute, 

 the two upper larger, the lower narrow, recurved, bifid, the 

 branches acute. Corolla pubescent within, the filaments pubes- 

 cent, dilated, hyaline and connate at the base, tapering up- 

 ward, one pair of anthers connate, the other separate, the 

 thecae parallel but separate at the base. Stamens as long as 

 the corolla.

Golumnea Sanmartensis. 



Densely long-strigose with shining hairs, those of the lower 

 leaf-surfaces bright-purple. Stems ascending, single, stout, 

 terete. Leaves sessile, opposite, one of each pair rudimentary, 

 1.5 or 2 cm. long, the other normal, 4 to 8 cm. long, 1.5 to 2.5 

 cm. broad, somewhat inequilateral, lanceolate with rounded 

 base and abruptly acuminate and acute summit, thin, the 

 venation concealed by the indumentum. Flowers (but one 

 seen) solitary in the axil, the peduncle 3 cm. long, stoutish, the 

 calyx 2 cm. long, more than i cm. broad, campanulate, lobed 

 three-fourths of the way or more, the lobes slightly unequal, 

 ovate, acuminate, the margin bearing several linear, dark- 

 colored teeth or lobes. Corolla deep rose-color, 6 cm. long, the 

 tube proper half as long as the calyx, the remaining portion 

 campanulate-infundibular, and ventricose, nearly 2 cm. broad 

 as pressed, the mouth 2 cm. broad, s-lobed, 2 of the lobes erect, 

 6 mm. long, 9 mm. broad, rounded, the adjoining two erect, 

 half as long and broad, triangulate, acute, the fifth spreading

"Rare on trees in damp forests, 5,500 to 6,500 feet, Sierra 

 del Libano, growing to 2 feet. Collected March 7. Corolla
