384 MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN 



laterally ovate, with summit and margin the same as those of 

 the middle lobe. Leaf thin, green above and almost impercepti- 

 bly strig'ulose, pale or gray-green underneath, slightly papillose- 

 roughened, the slender venation slightly prominent. Tendrils 

 green, flattened, the margins thickened. Peduncles rather short 

 (7 to 10 cm. in my specimen), divaricate, ribbed, a concave 

 brown gland near the base. Flowers densely racemose, the 

 scars, after their fall, enlarging into light-brown nodose bodies. 

 Bracts 5 to 8 mm. long, ovate, acute. Flowers 1 to 1.5 cm. long, 

 according to their age, the tube twice the length of the limb, 

 ventricose, contracted at the summit. Calyx-lobes ovate, acumi- 

 nate and acute, erect or slightly spreading, 2 of them a little 

 larger than the others. Petals shorter than the calyx-lobes. 

 Filaments very short, the anthers about equaling the petals, nar- 

 row, acuminate with a short white flattened obtuse terminal 

 appendage. 



Above Cochabamba River junction, near Covendo, 2,000 feet, 

 0. E. White, August 26, 1921 {no. 017). "A vine, 10 to 20 feet 

 long, with milky juice, in deep damj) shady woods, in sandy loam. 

 Flowers orange-colored." 



There is a possibility that this is the male plant of G. annu- 

 lata, although the characters of bracts, calyx-lobes, and espe- 

 cially of the inflorescence, lead to a different conclusion.
