near Cuernavaca, 1525 m., 10 May 1898, Pringle 7671 (TYPE in 
Gray Herb.). — A species nearly related to H. ovata Lam. (which 
should probably be called H. volubilis L.), but with noticeably 
larger flowers than those of any of the numerous specimens of that 
species which have been examined. In this feature it suggests the 
Brazilian H. affinis Cambess., but it differs in several particulars 
from the description of that plant, of which no material has been 
seen by the writer.
