STANDLEY—TROPICAL AMERICAN PHANEROGAMS, 129 
Readily distinguished from the other species with axillary inflorescence by its © 
numerous small, densely clustered flowers, large green bracts, whitish calyx, and 
conspicuously hooded corolla lobes. 
Psychotria calophylla Standley, sp. nov. 
Young branches stout, obtusely angled, short-villous with short soft spreading mul- 
ticellular ferruginous hairs; stipules not seen, deciduous; petioles stout, 1 to 2.5 cm. 
long, pubescent like the branches; leaf blades broadly obovate or rounded-obovate, 
16 to 22 cm. long, 7.5 to 12 cm. wide, rounded at the apex and short-apiculate, the apex 
broadly triangular, acute or acutish, rather abruptly long-acuminate or attenuate at 
the base, firmly herbaceous, glabrous on the upper surface, densely pubescent beneath 
along the veins with short soft ferruginous hairs, softly ferrugino-puberulent between 
the veins, the veins conspicuous beneath but slender, 11 to 13 lateral ones on each 
side; inflorescence sessile, 7 cm. long, and about 12 cm. wide, loosely branched, the 
branches short, spreading or divaricate, densely short-villous with ferruginous hairs; 
flowers sessile, capitate at the ends of the branches; ovary and calyx together 3.5 to 5 
mm. long, densely ferrugino-pubescent with short soft fine multicellular hairs, the 
calyx limb shallowly and obtusely lobed; corolla not seen; fruit sharply 12-costate, 
about 12 mm. long, the seeds not sulcate on the inner surface. 
Type in the U.S. National Herbarium, no, 48568, collected in the vicinity of Chagres, 
Isthmus of Panama, March 15, 1850, by August Fendler (no, 60). Duplicate in the 
Gray Herbarium. . 
Well marked by the large, broad leaves, soft, ferruginous pubescence, sessile inflo- 
rescence, and large fruit. 
Psychotria chiriquina Standley, sp. nov. 
Shrub 3 meters high, glabrous throughout; branches stout, succulent, densely leafy, 
the internodes 4 to 10 mm. long; stipules 6 mm. long, oblong-ovate, obtuse, united 
only at the base, reddish brown, early deciduous; petioles stout, 3 to 6 mm. long; 
leaf blades elliptic or oblong-elliptic, 4.5 to 6.5 cm. long, 1 to 2 cm, wide, acuminate 
to an obtuse tip, acuminate at the base, subcoriaceous, rather pale green, the veins 
not prominent; peduncles 2 to 2.5 cm. long, terminal, bearing a trichotomous corymb 
2 to 3.5 cm. long; pedicels 2 to 3 mm. long, stout; bracts rounded-ovate, 1 mm. 
long; calyx 1 mm. long, the limb subentire; corolla white, 5 mm. long, the tube stout, 
the lobes oblong, obtuse, leathery, one-third to half as long as the tube, appendaged 
outside below the apex, spreading, densely bearded in the throat; anthers oblong, 
nearly sessile; style glabrous; fruit not seen. 
Type in the U.S. National Herbarium, no. 677509, collected on Alto de la Cuesta, 
eastern slope of Chiriqui Volcano, Panama, at an altitude of 2,100 to 2,200 meters, 
March 10 to 13, 1911, by H. Pittier (no. 3118). 
Remarkable for the densely leafy branches, firm leaves, and subentire calyx. 
Psychotria fendleri Standley, sp. nov. 
Branches stout, nearly terete, glabrous; stipules united only at the base, broadly 
ovate to oblong, 7 to 9 mm. long, entire, obtuse, brown, soon deciduous, glabrous; 
petioles very stout, 2 to 5 mm. long; leaf blades broadly obovate to oval-obovate, 5 
to 9 cm. long, 2.5 to 5 cm. wide, rounded at the apex and very broadly apiculate, the 
apex obtuse or abruptly acutish, acute or broadly cuneate at the base, coriaceous, 
glabrous, pale green, the margins often revolute, the veins conspicuous beneath, the 
lateral ones 7 to 9 on each side; peduncles terminal, 3.5 to 4 cm. long, stout, glabrous, 
the primary branches of the inflorescence 3 to 5, about 7 mm. long, each bearing several 
short-pedunculate clusters of sessile or short-pedicellate flowers; bracts subtending 
the primary branches of the inflorescence 5 to 6 mm. long, lance-oblong, acute, thin, 
brown; calyx and ovary glabrous, together 2.5 mm. long, the calyx shallowly and
