Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 678699, collected on the strand 
near Port Limén, Costa Rica, in flower, May 27, 1911, by H. Pittier (no. 3641). 
A species near Cordia peruviana, but easjly distinguished by the shape, tex- 
ture, and indument of the leaves and the characters of the flowers. 
Cordia mollis Pittier, sp. nov. 
Section Myxa, subsection Spiciformes. A shrub, the branchlets terete, 
sparsely lenticellate, at first villous-tomentose, later glabrescent. 
Leaves subcoriaceous, the petioles canaliculate, tomentose, about 6 mm. long, 
the blades narrowly elliptic, acute-attenuate at the base, acute at the apex, 4 to 
7 cm. long, 1 to 2.2 cm. broad, dark green above, tomentose, muriculate, the 
costa and veins impressed, canescent-tomentose beneath, the costa and veins 
subprominent and ferruginous-pubescent; margin irregularly serrate. 
Inflorescence spicate, simple or subramose, terminal, the rachis tomentose, the 
peduncular part 6 to 7 cm. long, the spike usually compact and not interrupted. 
Flowers sessile; calyx tubular-campanulate, about 3 mm, long, 5-toothed, hairy 
without, the teeth deltoid, acute; corolla white, tubular, irregularly lobulate, 
glabrous without, hairy within below the insertion of the stamens, the tube 
about 4 mm. long, the lobes 1 to 1.5 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, rounded, with an 
irregularly sinuate margin; stamens very short (not over 1.5 mm. long), 
glabrous, inserted near the apex of the tube, exserted half their length; fila- 
ments slender; anthers ovate; ovary obpyriform, about 1.5 mm. long, glabrous; 
pistil glabrous, 3 to 3.5 mm. long, twice dichotomous, the ultimate divisions 
ending each in a clavate stigma. 
Drupe not seen. 
Type in the U. 8S. National Herbarium, no. 472788, collected between Chi- 
quin and Trapiche Grande, on the road from Guatemala City to Salama&, Guate- 
mala, at an altitude of about 900 meters, in flower, April 19, 1905, by H. Pittier 
(no. 184). 
Closely related to Cordia cylindrostachya Roem. & Schult., but differing in 
the tomentose leaves, as well as in the long style and in other details of the 
flowers. 
VERBENACEAE. 
A SUBSTITUTE FOR A PREOCCUPIED NAME. 
Citharexylum macrochlamys Pittier, nom, nov, 
Citharerylum macranthum Pittier, Contr. U. 8S. Nat. Herb. 18: 169, 1916, not 
von Hayek, Bot. Jahrb. Engler 42: 170. 1908. 
Through an unfortunate oversight, the specific name “macranthum” was 
applied by me to a Panama tree, although already used by von Hayek to 
designate a Peruvian species. 
BIGNONIACEAE. 
FOUR NEW SPECIES OF ADENOCALYMNA. 
Adenocalymna anomalum Pittier, sp. nov. 
An erect shrub or small tree, the bark gray, rimose, the newer growth 
lenticellate and more or less pilosulous.
