-Frutex glaber validus ramosus cortice rugoso. Ramis virgatis ascen- 
dentis, foliis petiolatis oblongis vel oblanceolatis ad basin attenuatis, ob- 
tusis margine revolutis crenato-dentatis pagina utraque minute et strigose 
pilosis, supra reticulato-rugosis infra pilis densis nervis crassis promi- 
nentis. Inflorescentia axillaribus longe pedunculatis, pedunculis filosis ad 
apice intumescentibus, capitulis brevibus globosis 5— 8-floris, bracteis foliosis 
ovato-rotundatis crassis, calyce paleaceo coronato irregulariter dentato 
margine ciliato, corollae tubo longo infundibuliformi aliquid curvato, 
limbo irregulariter lobato, lobis superioribus erectis rotundatis integris, 
lateralibus parvis irregulariter fisso-dentatis inferiora transverse-ovatis re- 
flexis integris ad basim auriculatis, Fructus globosus carnosus, pyrena pro-

A spreading, globose-headed, odorless shrub 1,5 to 2 m high. Leaves 
1—1,5 cm X 6—8 mn, petioles 2 mm, peduncles 2—4 cm long, Calyx 
1 mm, corolla 3,5 mm. The species approximates L. involucrata, from 
‘which it differs, however, in many characters. No counter-part of the 
specimens could be found in Hb. Kew or British Museum.

I take great pleasure in dedicating this striking genus to Mr. George 
Valentine Nash, who, in his energetie field work in the Bahamas, South 
Florida and Haiti, has rediscovered many little knewn species and amassed 
very valuable collections toward a flora of these regions.
