THE GENUS ESPELETIA

Guanacas, in the Andes of Popayan, Colombia. The name oppositi- 
folia was based upon Linden's no. 398 from the Sierra Nevada de 
Merida, Venezuela. Weddell states that this collection is a mixture, 
the inflorescence (from which the specific name was taken) being of 
E. grandiflora and the leaves those of E. moritziana.
