densely leafy; stipules 2 to 3 min. long. rounded-ovate, mucronate, brown, gla- 
brous; petioles 2 fo°5 mm, long, glabrous; leaf blades obovate, elliptic-ovate, or 
oblong-elliptic, 3.5 to 6.5 cm. long, 1.5 to 2.8 cm. wide, attenuate or acuminate at 
the base, acute or acutish at the apex, chartaceous, glabrous above, lustrous, the

oblong, 1.7 to 2.5 cm, long, acute, glabrate outside, glabrous within, thé throat 
naked ; anthers included ; fruit oval-globose, 3 to 3.8 em. long, 2 to 2.5 cm. thick,

Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no, 677593, collected in humid forest 
around Los Siguas Camp, southern slope of Cerro de la Horqueta, Chiriquf,

mucronate, thick, glabrous or puberulent outside, glabrous within; leaves sessile 
or short-petiolate, the blades obovate-oblong or rhombic-ovate, 14 to 23 em. long, 
5 to 8.5 cm, wide, acuminate or long-attenuate at the base, acute or acuminate 
at the apex, chartaceous or membranaceous, bright green and lustrous above, 
puberulent when young, glabrate in age, the venation plane or impressed, paler 
beneath, densely and minutely pilose when young, glabrate in age except along 
the veins, the lateral veins prominent, 10 to 13 on each side, nearly straigh, 
ascending at an angle of 45° or more; calyx glabrous, the tube prolonged beyond
