MEMOIRS OF THE XEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN 



ovate, the terminal pores projected slightly above the summit, 

 very small, not open in my si)ecimen, not quite reaching to the 

 end of the corolla. Style blackish, slender, sigmoid-curved, 

 equaling the corolla-lobes. 



Accompanying my specimen, and supposed to belong with it, 

 are the remains of a large Solanaceous fruit, resembling the 

 pericarp of Capsicum haccatum. When entire, it apparently 

 must have been 3 or 4 cm. long and wide, and I cannot regard its 

 identity as being certain. 



Lycianthes viridis 



Tomentellate. Stems woody, the branchlets very slender, 

 sulcate, very leafy. Petioles to 2 cm. long, very slender, the 

 margins involute, reddish, like the midrib underneath. Blades 

 to 1 dm. long and nearly 4 cm. wide, lanceolate, abruptly acumi- 

 nate at the base and regularly acuminate and acute at the sum- 

 mit, entire, thin, deep but bright-green, sparingly puberulent 

 above, tomentellate beneath, the slender venation slightly promi- 

 nent beneath, the secondaries about 6 or 8 on each side, lightly 

 curved and strongly ascending, the finer venation coarsely an- 

 astomosing. C^mies few- or many-flowered, the pedicels filiform, 

 to 3 cm. long when in flower. Calyx-tul^e 1.5 mm. long and wide, 

 campanulate, the 10 calyx-teeth equal, 4 mm. long, setaceous, 

 mostly incurved at the summit. Corolla 5 imii. long, 8 mm. wide, 

 campanulate, lobed nearly midway. Stamens 5 mm. long, nearly 

 equaling the corolla, the filament and anther about equal in 

 length. Anthers oblong, the summit somewhat incurved. Style 

 simply curved, thickened upward, not equaling the stamens. 

 Fruit not seen. 



Meguilla, 3,500 feet, 0. E. White, July 28, 1921 {no. 439). 

 Otto BucJitien, 317, from Sirrupaya, Yungas, 2,100 meters, De- 

 cember 1, 1906, is probably the same, although the calyx-teeth 

 are not so long and the corolla is larger. 



SCROPH ULARIACEAE 



Virgularia ochrophylla 



More or less scabrous, the corolla toinentose. Branches 

 slender, strongly ascending, more or less angled, deep-purple. 

 Leaves (only the upper seen) sessile, 2 to 2.5 cm. long, 3 to 5 

 mm. wide, lanceolate, the uppermost becoming linear, with nar-
