shining above, glandular punctate, oval to ovate or obovate, slightly 
emarginate, 4 to 6 cm long, 9 to 11 nerved, decurrent at the base, with 
the petioles 1 to 3 cm long: spikes terminal or axillary in the upper 
leaves, simple or several times branched, 0,5 to 1,5 dm. long with pe- 
duncles shorter than the leaves, rather densely flowered; nutlets oblong, 
slightly papillose, 1 mm long with a straight or slightly curved beak 
one-third their length. — In woods usually on moist or shaded rocks, 
frequent throughout the island from the Causeway to Tuckers Town, 
among the rocks and around the caves, sinks and fissures; also in the 
shaded portion of Paget Marsh, growing on the damp ground and over 
the stones, flowering from late autumn to spring. Probably most nearly 
related to P. magnoliaefolia microphylla Dahlstedt, from which it differs 
in the relatively broader leaves and the less strongly papillose nutlets 
which are oblong instead of ovate-globose. — Bermudas: Type, St.

610. Chiococca bermudiana St. Brown, l. c., p. 493. — A straggling, 
weak-stemmed shrub seldom more than a meter high. Leaves lustrous 
coriaceous 5 to 12 cm long, 2 to 6 cm broad, elliptic to ovate, ab- 
ruptly narrowed at both ends, acute or short acuminate at the apex, 
cuneate at the base; flowers numerous in racemose panicles, pedi- 
cels rather stout 4 to 6 mm long, hypanthium 1 to 1,5 mm long 
during anthesis, sepals triangular shorter than the calyx tube, slightly 
ciliate, corolla light yellow becoming darker with age, 8 to 10 mm long, 
tube funnel form, lobes ovate-lanceolate less than one-third the length 
of the tube, stamens at the base of the tube, filaments 1 mm long, 
anthers 2 to 5 mm long, style the length of the corolla tube; fruit sub- 
globose pure white and lustrous, 7 to 8 mm long, slightly broader than 
long, flattened. — Bermudas: Type, Britton and Brown, no. 183, 
September, 1905, in Herb. A. N. S. Phila. Shaded hillsides, north shore 
near Flatts. Frequent throughout the Walsingham Tract from the Cause- 
way to Tuckers Town and sparingly on the wooded hillsides through 
the central part of the island. — Differs from C. racemosa L., to which 
it is most nearly related, in the larger leaves, stouter and longer pedicels 
and larger berries.
