BLAKE—REVISION OF RINOREA. 503 
are perhaps a little shorter, but I have found no trace of appendages on the 
anthers in any of several flowers dissected: 
According to Eichler the uncertain genus Hzotanthera Turez.’ (type and only 
species H. racemosa) may have been based on this species. The name, pre- 
occupied in Rinorea, is unavailable in any case for this species.

Branchlets glabrate; leaves opposite; petioles 3 to 10 mm. long; blades 
lanceolate, 12 to 16 cm. long, 4.5 to 5.5 em. wide, narrowly long-acuminate, 
remotely undulate-crenulate, glabrous; panicles racemiform, 8 to 12 cm. long, 
the axis glabrous, the lower cymules 2 or 3-flowered, the pedicels subglabrous; 
sepals ovate, about 1.5 mm. long, obtuse, ciliolate, striatulate; petals ovate- 
lanceolate, 3 mm. long, glabrous, with obtuse deflexed apex; filaments 
thick, their glands adnate to middle, free above, shorter than the filaments, 
the anthers ovate, acute, unappendaged, the connective scales oblong, obtuse, 
longer than the anthers; ovary hispidulous, the style sigmoid at base, the 
placentae 1-ovulate. 
TYPE LOCALITY: “ Truxillo, Mérida,” Venezuela, altitude 3,000 meters. Type 
collected by Linden (no. 247 of 1842). 
Not seen; description condensed from the original. This species is evidently 
close to KR. riana, but to be distinguished by the glabrous axis of its panicle, 
its narrowly long-acuminate lanceolate leaves, and its different staminal glands. 
It was referred to Alsodeia guianensis (—Rinorea passoura) by Eichler, but 
this was certainly incorrect. Eichler gives the type locality as near Carabobo. 
Triana and Planchon’ record the species from the basin of the Rfo Meta, be- 
tween Villavicencio and Jiramena, altitude 250 meters, Colombia.

Shrub 1 to 2.5 meters high; branches sparsely hispidulous, glabrate; leaves 
opposite; petioles puberulous, 3 to 5 mm. long; blades elliptic-oblong to oval- 
oblong, 8 to 20 cm. long, 4 to 8.5 em. wide, short-acuminate with obtuse apex, 
cuneate or rounded-cuneate to thessometimes obscurely cordate base, crenate- 
serrate, chartaceous, above deep green, beneath brownish green, glabrous or 
sparsely puberulous beneath along costa, the lateral veins 8 to 10 pairs, with 
the secondaries prominulous on both sides; flowers in a narrow racemiform 
puberulous panicle or rarely simple racemose, the lower branches usually 
2 or 3-flowered, the upper or rarely all 1-flowered, the peduncle 3 to 10 mm. 
long, the axis 3.8 to 9 cm. long, rather loosely flowered; pedicels spreading 
or somewhat deflexed, 1 to (in fruit) 4 mm. long; sepals oval or broadly 
ovate, 1.2 to 1.5 mm. long, obtuse, ciliolate and somewhat appressed-puberu- 
lous, abeut 4-ribbed; petals pale yellow or white, oval, 2.5 to 3 mm. long, 
rounded at apex and scarcely reflexed, glabrous or ciliolate below; stamens 
free, 1.7 to 2.1 mm. long, the thick filaments 0.4 to 0.5 mm. long, adnate 
throughout to the glands, these free at apex, linear, usually tridenticulate, 
the free portion about 0.7 mm. long; anthers ovate, emarginate, not appen-
