by Dr. Gillies in November, deeply rooted in hard 
stony ground, between Villo Vicentio and the top 
of the Paramillo ; said to grow also in Chili under 
the name Mancayo, but the identity of the plants 
is not ascertained. Professor Lindlcy’s note on 
Dr. Gillies dry specimen from Mendoza is, “ pro- 
cessibus tribus squamiformibus fimbriatis but I 
have the benefit of Dr. Gillies’ description made 
from the fresh plant of his specimen in Sir W. 
Hooker’s herbarium, stating that it has six faucial 
appendages, and it is certainly the same plant. 
Cells about 25-seeded.

This species has red funnel-shaped flowers (with incon- 
spicuous faucial appendages, according to a memorandum by 
Dr. Lindley concerning Var. 3, by which 1 understand 
scarcely discernible in the specimen) ; style longer than the 
limb, filaments shorter. The leaves of Var. 3. are acute and 
narrow ; of Var. 1 . wider and obtuse ; of Var. 2. half an inch 
wide. The two last mentioned have flowers larger than 
Macraeana, which perhaps may differ in the internal struc- 
ture. I have no means of knowing whether they have any 
faucial appendages, but I cannot by the dry specimens dis- 
tinguish them as species from Macraeana, which, according
