with Dr. Hooker in considering RaouPs plant as specifically 
identical with it.

A specimen in the British Museum, collected by Dombey in 
Santa Fe (de Bogota?), though only fragmentary, exhibits a 
more than ordinary amount of development : it consists of two 
loose leaves and one loose umbel ; the leaves are 5— 5^ inches 
long, 2 inches broad, on a petiole 8-9 lines long; the peduncle 
is compressed, a line broad, and 3^ inches long, bearing on its 
summit two leaflets and five pedicels; the leaflets are obtusely 
obovate, cuneate. If inch long, including a petiole of 1 line, and 
the pedicels are l|-2 inches long; the flowers expanded are 
nearly Ij inch in diameter, the petals being 6 lines long, 4 lines 
broad, and rounded at their summit. The total inflorescence is 
nearly 7 inches in length, or 1 inch longer than its unusually 
large leaves.
