PLANTS COLLECTED IN ECUADOR 



85 



Although type material of Sleumer's species is not available, the cited speci- 

 mens agree excellently with the original description, based on Schultze-Rbonhof 

 3010 y also collected in the Oriente of Ecuador. Some of the leaf-blades of the 

 Camp material, probably from older parts of the plant, attain dimensions of 30 x 9 

 cm.; the corollas are 8.5-9.5 mm. long, and the anthers (slightly larger than those 

 of the type) are alternately 3.5-4.5 mm. and 4-5 mm. long.
