insertionem staminum vix ampliatus; limbi lobi 5 aequales obliqui 
oblongi parum crispati apice rotundati 1.3 cm. longi 7 mm. lati. 
Discus ad 3 mm. longus ovarium omnino occultans. Stamina in 
annulo retrorse comoso angusto ca. 1.2 cm. supra basin corollae

Fructus deest. — British Honpuras: low bank of Rio Grande, 
25 March 1907, M. E. Peck 953 (TYPE in Gray Herb.). — The 
single raceme of the type specimen is, perhaps abnormally, in- 
serted laterally between the bases of the paired leaves. Prof. 
Peck’s field notes unfortunately fail to indicate the color of the 
corolla, but in the dried flower it is pale, and in life probably 
whitish or yellowish.
