THE GENUS ESPELETIA 
removed from some of the species here described as new from Vene- 
zuela. 
In the text of the original description the species is named Espeletia 
corymbosa, but the accompanying plate bears the name Espeletia 
rigida. 
17. Espeletia funckii Schultz Bip.; Wedd. in Cast. Exped. Amer. 
Sud Bot. 1 : 64. 1855 
Type locality: Andes of Pamplona, Colombia, at an elevation 
of 3,400 meters. Type collected by Funck and Schlim (no. 1290). 
The type locality is near the Venezuelan boundary and the species 
may be expected to. occur in that country. Weddell compares this 
with E. corymbosa, saying that it is a larger plant with a less regular, 
more open inflorescence, and with more elongate achenes having 
sharper angles.
