Two years later came C. labiata, of which more must be said; then C. Mossiæ, from Caraccas; fourth, C. Trianæ named after Colonel Trian, of Tolima, in the United States of Colombia. Trian well deserved immortality, for he was a native of that secluded land and a botanist!
The wife of the king came, following Patrick. She performed penance, and knelt. Patrick blessed her womb and the beings in it i.e., Setna, son of Trian, and Iarlaid, son of Trian.

He shall die prematurely himself, and shall go down to a bitter hell."
The hollow seemed a nursery of pestilences small and great, in the immediate neighbourhood of comfort and health, and Bathsheba arose with a tremor at the thought of having passed the night on the brink of so dismal a place.
