450 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY BOTANY, VOL. XIX<br />

5 cm. long, biglandular at or above middle, the glands short-stipitate;<br />

leaves 4 to 7 cm. long, 5 to 8 cm. wide, 3-lobed to middle (lobes oblong<br />

or ovate-oblong, 1.5 to 2.5 cm. wide, obtuse, ascending, glandularserrulate<br />

in the sinuses), cordate or merely emarginate at base,<br />

subpeltate, 5-nerved, subcoriaceous, glaucescent beneath; peduncles<br />

7 to 10 cm. long; bracts ovate or oblong-ovate, 1.5 to 2.5 cm. long,<br />

1 to 1.5 cm. wide, cordate, obscurely serrulate, borne close to base<br />

of flower; flowers 6 to 8 cm. wide; calyx tube broadly campanulate;<br />

sepals oblong-lanceolate, about 1 cm. wide, green without, white<br />

within, cucullate, carinate, the keel terminating in a green, foliaceous<br />

awn 8 to 12 mm. long, 2 to 3 mm. wide; petals lanceolate, shorter<br />

and narrower than the sepals; corona filaments in 3 series, the outermost<br />

capillary, about 2 cm. long, those of the second series capillary,<br />

3 mm. long, capitellate, those of the inner narrowly linear, 2 mm.<br />

long, capitellate; operculum erect, fimbrillate to middle, the threads<br />

about 5 mm. long; nectar ring fleshy; limen cupuliform, about 5 mm.<br />

high, erect, closely surrounding gynophore; ovary subovoid, pruinose.<br />

TYPE LOCALITY: Huacapistana, Tarma, Peru.<br />

DISTRIBUTION: Mountains of central Peru, from 2,000 to 2,500<br />

meters altitude.<br />

PERU: MacLean (K, type). Junin: Huacapistana, Weberbauer<br />

The very prominent awns of the sepals distinguish this from near<br />

relatives of the Andes. The type of P. platyceras agrees exactly<br />

with the type of P. subulata; Masters' statement that the petiolar<br />

glands are sessile is inaccurate.<br />

The Pennell specimen is referred here doubtfully. The leaves<br />

are much less deeply lobed; but as the specimen is without flowers,<br />

or even peduncles or bracts, positive determination is impossible.<br />

42. 1883.<br />

Plant glabrous throughout, brownish yellow when dry; stem<br />

slender, wiry, terete or subangulate, several secondary branches (up<br />

to 15 cm. long) arising from the main stem; stipules oblong, 1.2<br />

to 1.5 cm. long, 0.7 to 0.9 cm. wide, oblique, acute, serrulate; petioles<br />

up to 5 cm. long, slender, bearing 1 or 2 pairs of minute, stipitate<br />

glands; leaves 5 to 7 cm. long, 7 to 8 cm. wide, 3-lobed one-third<br />

their length (rarely slightly more, not to one-half their length;
