30. Rinorea macrocarpa (Mart.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. 1: 42. 1891. 
Alsodeia macrocarpa Mart.; Hichl. in Mart. Fl. Bras. 13?: 385. pl. 78, f. J. 
1871, 
Branchlets puberulous, glabrate; leaves opposite; petioles 5 to 10 mm. long; 
blades oval or obovate-oval, 10 to 20 cm. long, 5 to 8 em. wide, short-pointed, 
acute at base, membranaceous, repand-serrate, at first puberulous, quickly 
glabrate; racemes spiciform, 4 to 6 cm. long, yellowish-puberulous, the flowers 
subsessile; sepals ovate-oblong, 1 mm. long, acute, puberulous and ciliolate: 
petals oblong-lanceolate, 3 mm. long, obtuse, glabrous, revolute at apex; 
stamens scarcely shorter than the petals, the filaments nearly as long as the 
anthers, apparently not gland-bearing, the anthers obtuse, the connective scales 
scarcely once and a half as long, oval, rounded, lacerate-erose ; ovary villous, 
the placentae 2 or 3-ovulate; capsule acute, 4 to 5 cm. long, at length gla- 
brate, the valves 2-seeded, the seeds glabrous. 
LYPE LOCALITY: Province of Alto Amazonas, Brazil. Type collected by 
Martius. 
Not seen; description taken from the original. In addition to the type, 
Hichler refers to this species material from the southern shore of the Amazon 
at the mouth of the Solimoes, and from Mandos, collected by Spruce (nos. 
1603, 1320*), as well as material from Borba, Parf, collected by Riedel. 
The species is noteworthy for its capsule, the largest known among American 
species of the genus, and for its subsessile flowers. The figures of the 
stamens indicate that they are much like those of R. riana, but no mention 
is made of the gland on the filament. 
31. Rinorea juruana Ule, Verh. Bot. Ver. Brand. 47: 158. 1905. 
Shrub or tree, 3 to 10 meters high; branchlets puberulous; leaves opposite ; 
petioles 2 to 3 mm. long; blades obovate or oblong, 4 to 6 cm. long, 2 to 2.5 
cm. wide, acuminate, obtuse at apex, minutely subspinulose-serrate, short- 
pubescent on the veins especially above; racemes 2 to 3 cm. long, few-flowered, 
puberulous, the pedicels 3 mm. long; sepals broad-elliptic, 1.5 mm. long, 
acutish; petals oblong-obovate, whitish yellow, 4 to 5 mm. long; stamens 3.5 
mm. long, the filaments 1 mm. long, strongly thickened, the connective scales 
ovate, entire, 2.5 mm. long, twice as long as the anthers; ovary densely hairy; 
capsule trigonous, 15 mm. long, acuminate, sparsely pilose; seeds solitary 
on each valve, glabrous, 6 mm. thick. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Miry, on the Rio Jurud, Province of Amazonas, Brazil. 
Type collected by Ule (no. 5633). 
Not seen; description translated from the original. 
32. Rinorea viridifolia Rusby, Mem. Torrey Club 6: 5, 1896. 
Branchlets sparsely hispid-pilose, quickly glabrate; leaves opposite; petioles 
densely puberulous, glabrate, 4 to 10 mm. long; blades obovate or oblong- 
obovate, 6 to 11.5 cm. long, 2 to 4.5 em. wide, obtusely acuminate or short- 
pointed, at base cuneate or rounded-cuneate, crenate-serrulate, subpergamen- 
taceous, puberulous on costa above, sparsely strigose along base of costa 
beneath or glabrous; racemes 4.5 em. long, sparsely and obscurely puberulous; 
pedicels essentially glabrous, 2.5 to 3.5 mm. long; sepals oval-ovate, 1.2 to 
1.5 mm. long, obtuse or acutish, ciliolate, sparsely puberulous along midline 
or glabrous; petals elliptic, 4.8 mm. long, obtuse, slightly reflexed, ciliolate 
at base and apex; stamens 3.5 mm. long, the filaments stout, 1 to 1.2 mm. 
long, somewhat exceeding the emarginate sparsely puberulous gland, the 
anthers unappendaged, 1.2 mm. long, the connective scales oblong-ovate, 2.4 
mm. long, obtuse, distinctly erose especially below the middle; ovary densely 
hispid-pilose, the placentae 1-ovulate.
