586 PHANER0GAM1A. 



Hab. Organ Mountains, Brazil; in the neighbourhood of Rio 

 Janeiro. 



There is only a poor specimen, with one or two very young flower- 

 buds, which furnish little towards completing Naudin's description. 

 There are 6 triangular and acuminate small petals, and 12 stamens, 

 the connective thickened or gibbous at the base posteriorly. Only 

 the hexamerous flowers exclude it from Clidemia, as restricted by 

 Naudin.

This is nearly allied to C. amygdaloid.es (a common plant on the 

 Corcovado, where Gardner gathered both species), as Gardner remarks, 

 and most probably is no more than a narrow-leaved variety of it.
