Hab. San Bias to Topic. — We possess the same plant from various parts of S, America, but are by no 
means certain of our correctness in referring it to the J. liirta of Vahl. The leaves vary much in different 
specimens, from ovato-lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, the hairiness is chiefly confined to the upper part of 
the plant. The pods are about an inch and a half long, when ripe, destitute of the calyx-segments.

Hab. /3. Between San Bias and Topic. — Dr Sinclair’s specimens differ in no respect from those gathered 
during Captain Beechey’s former voyage, except in being more pubescent, especially in the younger parts of 
the plant, and upon the flowers, and in there being rather longish spreading hairs mixed with the down upon 
the calyx and pedicels.

Hab. Between San Bias and Tepic. — A very graceful plant. The leaves gradually pass upwards among 
the branches into small bracteas. The hairs with which almost every part of the plant is clothed, except the 
pedicels and flowers, are rather long and seated upon a small bulb ; those of the stem and petioles and midrib 
beneath are more harsh and rigid than the rest, reflexed and very close pressed. Pedicels extremely slender, 
subtended by a minute bractea. — The figure of Jaequin above quoted is an excellent representation of a 
flowering, branch.

Hab. San Bias and Tepic. — We had considered this to be a new species: but Mr Bentham has referred 
specimens of the same plant in Hartweg’s Mexican collections (n, 25) to the C. Llavea, of La Llave and De 
Candolle, which latter author has thus characterized it: “ caulibus pluribus hispidulis, ramis ascendentibus, 
foliis subsessilibus ovato-lanceolatis strigosis, pedicellis interfoliaceis erectis, petalis 2 obovatis magnis, cseteris 
abortivis, stam. 1 1 .” — Our character will be seen (supra, p. 289.) — Our specimens in the present collection are 
a foot and a half to two feet long, extremely rough with the copious rigid hairs or bristles, with which every
