BLAKE—REVISION OF RINOREA, 517 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMEN EXAMINED: 
Mexico: Without definite locality, Merber 407 (N). 
Reiated to R. guatemalensis, but distinguished by the entire lack of append- 
ages to the anther sacs, even in the bud, and by the entire or subentire connec- 
tive seales. 
EXPLANATION OF PLATE 37.—Rinorea pilosula, from the type specimen. Natural size. 
SPECIES OF UNCERTAIN POSITION. 
38. Rinorea albicaulis (Turez.) Blake, 
Alsodeja albicaulis Turcz. Bull. Soc. Nat. Moscou 367: 558. 1863, 
Shrub, white-barked, glabrous; leaves opposite, lanceolate, acuminate, sub- 
sessile, membranaceous, sharply serrate; racemes many-flowered, slightly 
shorter than the leaves; petals contorted at apex, twice as long as the sepals; 
stamens united into an urceole. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Chiquitos, Bolivia. Type colected by D’Orbigny (no. 987). 
Known to me only from the original description, The species is evidently 
distinct from R. gracilis and R. viridifolia Rusby, the only other species known 
from Bolivia. 
39. Rinorea gracilis Rusby, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 8: 106, 1912. 
Slender shrub, about 2 meters high; branchlets rufous-hispid and finely 
puberulous, glabrescent ; leaves opposite; petioles pubescent like the branchlets, 
3 to 5 mm. long; blades obovate or elliptic-obovate, 5 to 9 em. long, 2.2 to 3.5 
cm. wide, short-pointed, acutely cuneate at base, puberulous on costa above, 
beneath sparsely strigose on costa or glabrous, obsoletely crenate, papyraceous ; 
racemes puberulous, about 4.5 cm. long; ovary densely rufous-hispid; capsule 
glabrescent, 17 mm. long; placentae glabrous. 
SPECIMEN EXAMINED: 
BotiviA: San Buenaventura, altitude 455 meters, November 24, 1901, 
Williams 611 (type; Y, photograph and fragment N). 
Rusby also refers to this species a specimen collected by Spruce at Tarapota. 
The material is not sufficiently complete to indicate to what group of the genus 
the species belongs. 
DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 
ALSODEIA CAMPTONEURA Radlk. Sitzungsb. Math. Phys. Akad. Wiss. Mtinchen 
20: 186. 1891. 
Based on Spruce 1964 and 1069. The species is said to be allied to A. falcata, 
to which these collections were referred by Eichler. The fragmentary descrip- 
tion given does not suffice for separation. 
ALSODEIA JAPURANA (Meisn.) Radlk. Sitzungsb. Math. Phys. Akad. Wiss. 
Miinchen 20: 182. 1891. 
Coccoloba japurana Meisn. in Mart. Fl. Bras, 5*: 25. 1856. 
This was described from specimens with very young flowers. It is said 
by Radlkofer to be allied to A. racemosa. 
ALSODEIA PALLIDA Klotzsch; Schomb. Versuch Fauna & FI. Br. Guian. 1166. 
1848, nomen nudum. 
ALSODEIA RAMIZIANA Glaz, Bull. Soc. Bot. France 52: Mém. 3: 22, 1905, nomen 
nudum. 
Glaziou 12425 is cited, but no description is given.
