Deppea longipes Standley, sp. nov. 
Young stems reddish brown, succulent, cinereous-puberulent; stipules very small 
and inconspicuous, about 1 mm. long; petioles 10 to 20 mm. long; leaf blades oval, 
broadly oval, or elliptic-oval, 8 to 11 cm. long, 3.5 to 5.5 cm. wide, abruptly acuminate, 
the tips about 10 mm. long, obtuse, acute, or abruptly acute at the base, bright green, 
prominently veined, glabrous on the upper surface, sparingly tomentulose beneath 
along the veins; peduncles 22 to 35 mm. long; cymes many-flowered, 5 to 9 cm. broad, 
the branches tomentulose; bracts minute; pedicels 2.5 to 6 mm. long, often longer 
than the fruit; calyx lobes triangular, about 0.6 mm. long; corolla bright yellow, 
glabrous, the tube about twice as long as the calyx lobes, the lobes of the limb 5 mm. 
long, oblong, obtuse; anthers exserted, the filaments glabrous, slightly longer than the 
anthers; capsules 5 mm. long, turbinate, conspicuously costate, glabrate. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 677458, collected around Camp Aguaca- 
tal, eastern slope of Chiriquf Volcano, Panama, altitude 2,100 to 2,200 meters, March 
10 to 13, 1911, by H. Pittier (no. 3070). 
In general appearance this resembles D. floribunda Hemsl., but it is distinguished 
from that and the other Mexican and Central American species by the large capsules 
and long pedicels. 
Faramea luteovirens Standley, sp. nov. 
A small tree or large shrub, often branched from the base, with straight trunk, 
smooth bark, and radiate branches, glabrous throughout; young stems stout, yellow- 
ish green; stipules much wider than long, with a subulate tip, soon deciduous; petioles 
stout, 6 to 10 mm. long; leaf blades oblong-oval, 9 to 14 cm. long, 4 to 6 cm. wide, 
obtuse at the base, abruptly caudate at the apex, with an obtuse or acute, narrowly 
triangular tip 10 to 14 mm. long, yellowish green, coriaceous, the midvein very promi- 
nent, the lateral veins conspicuous, 8 to 13 on each side, diverging at nearly right 
angles, anastomosing near the margin, but not forming a regular or conspicuous mar- 
ginal vein; inflorescence a sessile panicle, sparsely branched, the central axis 6 cm. 
long, the lateral ones 1 cm. long or less, the pedicels rather stout, thicker above, 3 cm. 
long; fruit subglobose, 8 to 9 mm. in diameter, smooth, thick-walled, bearing at the 
summit the truncate calyx limb (or base of the limb?); no mature seeds seen, the 
immature ones solitary, with a very deep basal depression. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 679194, collected on Loma de la Gloria, 
near Faté, Province of Col6n, Panama, in forests, altitude 10 to 100 meters, August, 
1911, by H. Pittier (no. 4098). 
Readily distinguished from the other Panamanian species by the yellowish green, 
coriaceous leaves and long pedicels. 
Faramea ovalis Standley, sp. nov. 
A small slender tree, 6 to 8 meters high, with a straight trunk and pyramidal crown, 
glabrous throughout; young branches very slender, green; stipules broadly rounded, 
1.5 mm. long or less, each bearing a subulate tip 3 to 9 mm. long; petioles slender, 4 
to 10 mm. long; leaf blades oval or rarely obovate-oval or oval-oblong, 4 to 8 cm. long, 
2 to 5 cm. wide, rounded to acute at the base, abruptly caudate at the apex, the tip 6 
to 10 mm. long and 2 to 3 mm. wide, obtuse or rounded, the blades bright green, thin, 
with 7 to 11 lateral veins on each side, these not conspicuous, diverging at nearly 
right angles; peduncles 12 to 17 mm. long; flowers in simple umbels, usually 4 on 
each peduncle, on pedicels 12 to 14 mm. long; calyx and ovary together 3 mm. long, 
narrowly campanulate, green, glabrous, the limb very shallowly and obscurely dentate; 
corolla purplish white, 14 to 17 mm. long, glabrous outside, the tube 10 to 11 mm. 
long, 2.5 mm. in diameter, the throat but slightly inflated, the lobes ovate-oblong, 
acute or acutish, puberulent within; style slightly exserted; fruit not known. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 675764, collected in forests along the Rio 
Ladrillo, above El Boquete, Chiriqu{, Panama, altitude 1,200 to 1,300 meters, March
