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

tration of P. emarginata show no important differences, though the<br />

leaves of our specimens are rather less pubescent than in the Humboldt<br />

and Bonpland type. Unfortunately the flowers had withered<br />

badly, and it was impossible to make satisfactory notes on the<br />

coronal structure.<br />

The specimens from the vicinity of Cali I<br />

believe are correctly<br />

referred to this species, though the undivided portion of the peduncle<br />

is proportionately longer than in the specimens from the type region<br />

and the plants are less pubescent.<br />

Lehmann's notes regarding No. 8016 are:<br />

"Trees up to 5 m. in<br />

height with beautiful, close, erect and squarrose crowns of branches.<br />

Leaves light sea-green. <strong>Flowers</strong> white, very sweet-scented. Fruit<br />

almost spherical, the size of a small lemon."<br />
