Var. 1. Conferta. — PI. 3. f. 1. Specim. Gumming, 354. 
Herb. Lindl. Leaves crowded, 1|-2| inches long; 
peduncles an inch long. 
Var. 2. Intermedia. — Cumming, Herb. Lamb. Cum-

Var. 3. Solliana. — PI. 4. 1’. 2. Solly. Chili. Herb. Lindl. 
Leaves 4 inches long; peduncles long, diverging. 
Var. 4. Acuminata. — PI. 4. f. 3. Specim. Chili. Bridges, 
marked “Versicolor Martius.” Herb. Hook. Leaves 
5-7 inches long, not ^ wide; peduncles two inches, 
robust; perianth acuminate, purplish rose colour ; 
upper petals streaked. 
The colour of these four plants is evanescent in the dry 
specimens, except that in var. 4. it can be seen to have been 
purplish rose, and the upper petals streaked. .It is a vigorous 
plant, not at all agreeing with versicolor of Ruiz. Var. 1. 
and 3. appear so different, that if they had not been approached 
to each other by the specimens of intermedia, which come 
nearest to Solliana, but are numbered by the collector as if 
identical with Conferta, I should have supposed them very 
distinct. 
24. Recumbens.- PI. 3. f. 1. Specim. Cumming, 384. 
Herb. Lindl.- Lambert — Hooker. Sterile, stem 
wanting. Fertile stem recumbent, curved, scaled 
below, the scales acute, becoming more crowded 
and leaf-like upwards; umbel 10 or more flowered, 
very crowded; involucral bractes crowded, leaf-like, 
shorter than the peduncles; perianth near 1^ inch 
long, acuminate, bright purple ; upper petals 
crossed with bright yellow streaked with purple. — 
Some of the specimens of this plant are consider- 
ably larger than that which I have sketched, and 
preserve a brilliant colouring of purple and yellow.

usually vermilion or golden .)

Bridges, 36. Herb. Hooker. — Herb. Lindl. — Fertile 
stem above a foot high, scaly below ; scales
