1659. Herb. Hooker. Stalk slender, leaves about 
2\ long, from \ to f wide, lance-ovate, acute, pe- 
tioles about ^ ; peduncles 1-4, naked, about 1^ 
long ; perianth not an inch long, (seemingly yel- 
lowish ?) sepals horned ; involucral bractes, one 
larger, the rest small and acute. This plant is 
very unlike any other species. It is horned like 
cornuta, but very dissimilar in other respects. Its 
native spot is not mentioned, but it is a Peruvian 
plant. Var. Matthewsiana, PI. 10. fig. 4. Mat- 
thews, 1659. Herb. Lindl. seems a different plant. 
It has larger leaves, four large involucral bractes, 
and four flowers, and, if horned, I overlooked the 
horns.
