without precise locality, Dr. J. Triana, no. 1196 (ryPE K.). 
Unfortunately, no detailed data accompany this interesting plant 
which, like many others of Dr. Triana’s Colombian material, was 
purchased by the Royal Gardens in February, 1892,. but is unaccom- 
panied by any original ticket. The species is exceedingly distinct 
from any other Ewpatorium known to the writer, yet there can be little 
doubt that it is correctly referred to the genus.
