CORNACEAE. 
Garrya goldmanii Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
A low. shrub, 1 meter high or less; young branches densely covered with fine 
curled hair, the pubescence persisting often for several years; leaves small, 40 
mm. long and 20 mm. wide or smaller, usually about 25 mm. long and 12 mm. 
wide, elliptic, narrowed toward the base and the mucronate apex, very thick, 
yellowish green, somewhat crispate, not at all conspicuously veined, pubescent 
on both surfaces, densely so beneath, the hairs long and only slightly curled or 
crinkled; margins of the leaves thickened, yellowish, muriculate; the stout 
petioles 5 to 7 mm. long; fruit in racemes 2 em. long or less, sessile, subtended 
by lanceolate, abruptly acuminate bracts about 7 mm. long; fruit glabrous, ovoid 
to spherical, 6 mm, in diameter or less. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 562808, collected on limestone 
ledges near Queen, New Mexico, July 31, 1909, by E. O. Wooton, Altitude about 
1,770 meters. 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: New Mexico—Big Hatchet Mountains, alt. 
2,010 meters, 1908, Goldman 1319, 1318; Sheep Mountain, San Andreas Range, 
1902, Gaut 86. Trxas—Guadalupe Mountains, 1901, Bailey 452; Chisos Moun- 
tains, 1901, Bailey, 371. 
‘In Coulter’s Botany of Western Texas this is referred to as a narrow-leaved 
variety of G. ovata Benth. It is undoubtedly closely related to that species of 
central Mexico, but it differs in its lower growth, and small, narrow, more 
pubescent, crispate leaves. The leaves are much less conspicuously veined than 
in G. ovata and the fruit is much smaller. 
ARALIACEAE. 
Aralia bicrenata Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Somewhat branched herb about 1 meter high; stems stout, sparingly pubescent 
on the older parts, abundantly pubescent on the younger branches; petioles 
long and slender; leaflets ovate, 6 to 8 cm. long, the lower ones 3-parted, 
abruptly acuminate, oblique to cordate at the base, very thin, bright green, 
doubly crenate almost to the base, nearly glabrous above, puberulent beneath, 
especially along the veins; inflorescence much branched; peduncles short, 10 to 
25 mm. long, puberulent; pedicels 7 to 8 mm. long, numerous; bracts linear, 1 
to 2 mm. long; petals ovate, obtuse; ovary glabrous; mature fruit not seen. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 563963, collected near Holts Ranch 
in the Mogollon Mountains, July 20, 1900, by BE. O. Wooton. 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Mogollon Creek, alt. 2,250 meters, July 23, 
1908, Metcalfe 303; Las Vegas Hot Springs, August, 1901, H. S. Barber 151; 
South Bonito Creek, 2 miles above the forks, 1899, Turner 216; Gallinas Planting 
Station, 1908, Bartlett 301; Sierra Grande, alt. 2,600 meters, 1911, Standley 6136. 
The plant is related to A. pubescens DC. and A. hwmilis Cav. (if they are 
separable species) of Mexico, but it has much larger and thinner leaves, doubly 
instead of simply crenate, the pubescence is much more sparse, and the stems 
are not at all woody. Our plant is also an ally of A. racemosa, but the form of 
the inflorescence is different, the leaves are not deeply cordate at the base, and 
they are not so conspicuously acuminate.
