[335] Rupicola Peruviana (family of Ampelidæ). Van Tschudi says that they feed on the seeds of chinchona-trees.—Travels in Peru, p. 427.
[336] The bark, leaves, and capsules from this tree are deposited in the herbarium and museum at Kew.
[337] I brought home a bunch of the capsules, now in the herbarium at Kew.
[338] There we also found the Trichomanes muscoides, a pretty little fern which, I am informed by Mr. J. Smith, of Kew, though common in the West Indies, was not previously known to be a native of Peru.
[339] Specimens from this locality were examined and reported upon at 28, Jermyn-street.
[340] Described by Dr. Weddell, in his Histoire Naturelle des Quinquinas, in a note under the genus Pimentelia.
[341] In Peru the father of a child is compadre to its godfather. It is considered a very close and sacred relationship.
[342] Hence the name Lenco-huayccu. Lenqui is anything sticky in Quichua, and huayccu a ravine.

[344] Dr. Weddell believes it to be a distinct species from the C. Micrantha of Huanuco, and has named it C. Affinis.
