800 m. alt., Aug. 1899, Preuss, n. 1508 (hb. Berol.); Ocafia, Prov. 
Ocafia, Colombia, Schlim, n. 178 (hb. Kew.). The Fendler specimen was — 
taken to Geneva and carefully compared with the type of 7. podocarpa 
Sch. Bip. (Kuhnia podocarpa DC.) and it was found to be clearly 8 
distinct species, differing in various ways but most strikingly in Its : 
densely tomentose corollas. In the type of 7. podocarpa the cordllas 
are covered on the outside by large scattered waxy atoms but are other ; 
wise glabrous. From 7’. campestris Gardn., 7’. rhadinocarpa differs 2 
its much broader leaves, longer and more tapering achenes, ete. .

described and clearly figured by him. It has, however, 
rediscovered since its description a century ago and 
entirely obscure. Suspecting from Vahl’s figure that the
