Juanulloa (George Juan and Antonio Ulloa, Spanish naturalists who traveled in Chile and Peru). Solanaceae. About 10 species of shrubby plants, more or less epiphytic, from Cent. Amer. to Peru, sometimes mentioned in horticultural literature as suitable for growing in the warmhouse. Erect or diffuse and producing runners or decumbent branches, glabrous or tomentose: lvs. thick and entire: fls. yellow or red, solitary or in clusters; calyx colored,, large; corolla tubular, sometimes ventricose and contracted at the throat, with small broad lobes; stamens inserted in lower part of corolla-tube: fr. an indehiscent succulent or dry berry. J. aurantiaca, Otto & Dietr. (J. parasitica, Hook.), is the species most likely to occur in cult. It is a glabrous shrub with herbaceous young branches: lvs. alternate, sometimes 2 together and very unequal, 2-5 in. long, oval or obovate, obtuse, short- petioled: fls. terminal on drooping branches in a sort of leafy raceme, showy, orange; calyx fleshy and large, 5-angled, loose on the corolla, the latter about a third longer and tubular, enlarging upward, and with a limb of 5 short rounded segms. Peru, where it is said to be epiphytic; but said to thrive well in a warmhouse in earth. B.M. 4118. H.U. 2, p. 321. L. H. B.
