130 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
broadly dentate; corolla 5 mm, long, glabrous outside, the lobes shorter than the 
tube, oblong, obtuse; fruit not seen. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 48567, collected in the vicinity of 
Chagres, Panama, February 25, 1850, by August Fendler (no. 59), Duplicate in the 
Gray Herbarium. 
Here also belongs a specimen from the region of Santa Marta, Colombia, at an altitude 
of 600 meters, collected by Herbert H. Smith (no. 1832). In this some of the leaves 
are as much as 11.5 cm. long, the inflorescence is more open and much branched, 5 
to 7 cm. long, and the corolla is densely villous in the throat. The Colombian collec- 
tion was distributed as Psychotria granadensis Benth., a species originally described 
from Nicaragua, but that is characterized as having shorter stipules, much longer, 
narrower leaves, subsessile inflorescence, and longer corolla lobes. 
Psychotria goldmanii Standley, sp. nov. 
Shrub; branches slender, subterete, glabrous; stipules united, green, firm, per- 
sistent, bilobate, the lobes short, lance-subulate; petioles slender, 3 to 8 mm, long; 
leaf blades elliptic to elliptic-oblong, 3.5 to 8 cm. long, 0.8 to 1.5 em. wide, abruptly 
long-attenuate, the tip nearly linear, 5 to 12 mm. long, obtuse, acuminate, or cuneate 
at the base, firmly herbaceous, deep green and glabrous on the upper surface, pale 
beneath and sometimes puberulent along the veins, these conspicuous, the lateral 
ones parallel, with finer veins between them; inflorescence terminal, the slender 
peduncles about 2 cm, long, bearing a corymbose panicle 2.5 to 3 cm. high and of 
about the same breadth, the branches ascending, sparsely puberulent; flowers sessile 
or subsessile, clustered at the ends of the peduncles, each cluster subtended by 2 con- 
nate ovate acute bracts, the bracts subtending the branches of the inflorescence linear, 
2 to 4mm, long; calyx longer than the ovary, the lobes shorter than the tube, ovate 
to oblong, obtuse or acute; corolla 5 mm. long, glabrous outside, the tube dilated 
above the middle, the lobes scarcely 1 mm. long, obtuse, erect; fruit 4 mm. high, 
compressed, conspicuously costate, glabrous. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 716141, collected at the head of Rio 
Limén, Mount Pirre, Province of Panama, Panama, at an altitude of 1,500 meters, 
March 6, 1912, by E. A. Goldman (no. 1883). 
Very distinct in the pale lower surface of the leaves and the short corolla lobes. 
In general appearance the plant resembles the Brazilian Psychotria leiocarpa. 
Psychotria insignis Standley, sp. nov. 
Branches woody, the young ones stout, obtusely angled, densely short-pubescent 
with dark ferruginous spreading hairs; stipules distinct, soon deciduous, 1.5 cm, long, 
oblong, acutish, thin, densely short-pubescent outside; petioles 2.5 to 5 cm. long, 
stout; leaf blades ovate to oblong or oval, 14 to 22 cm. long, 7 to 9 cm. wide, gradually 
acuminate, cordate or subcordate at the base, herbaceous, glabrous on the upper 
surface except along the midvein, there short-pubescent, densely short-pubescent 
beneath along the veins with rigid spreading ferruginous hairs, very finely pubescent 
elsewhere, prominently veined beneath, the lateral veins 17 to 20 on each side, parallel, 
arcuate, anastomosing to form a vein near the margin; inflorescence terminal, sessile, 
5-rayed at the base, each branch bearing 3 or more peduncled heads of sessile flowers, 
the branches densely pubescent with short spreading ferruginous hairs; flowers 
numerous in each head; calyx 2 mm. long, 5-lobed to the middle, the lobes oblong, 
obtuse or rounded at the apex, densely pubescent outside; ovary shorter than the 
calyx, densely covered with short soft ferruginous hairs; mature corollas not seen, 
those in bud pubescent outside with short stiff white hairs; fruit not seen. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 679567, collected on the hills of Sperdi, 
near Puerto Obaldia, San Blas Coast, Panama, at an altitude of 20 to 200 meters, 
September, 1911, by H. Pittier (no. 4410). 
Remarkable for the large, obtuse calyx lobes, and especially for the cordate leaves.
