Aristolochia brasiliensis, Mart. & Zuce. Glabrous: Lvs. cordate-reniform, obtuse, with deep sinus at base: peduncle 8-10 in. long, 1-fld.: fl. very large, dingy yellow, with marks and reticulations of purple, the limb strongly flipped; tube strongly bent, purple inside; upper lip 4 in. long, violet within, hairy; lower lip not longer than the upper, 5-7 in. wide. Var. macrophylla, Duch. (A. ornithocephala, Hook.). Lvs. large: upper lip 5 in. long, lanceolate-acuminate, projecting from the inflated headlike tube like the long beak of a bird; lower lip on a stalk 2 in. long, then expanding into a flattened, wavy, beautifully marked limb 4 in. long and 4-6 in. across. Brazil. B.M. 4120. Gn. 45, p. 289.—A most odd and interesting species, not infrequent in fine establishments.
