446 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
long, stout, minutely puberulent; leaf blades oval, about 28 cm. long and 14 cm. 
wide, acuminate, abruptly short-acuminate at the base, the upper surface dark 
green and shining, glabrous except for the puberulent veins, beneath paler 
green, puberulent, especially along the veins, prominently nerved, about 22 
parallel lateral veins on each side; panicle about 9 cm. long (excluding the 
corollas), many-flowered, the secondary branches stout, compressed, 25 mm. 
long or less, puberulent, the terminal flowers sessile, the others on pedicels 5 to 
8 mm. long; bracts ovate to lanceolate, acute; ovary and calyx together 6 or 7 
mm. long, glabrous or obscurely puberulent, the calyx margin minutely repand- 
denticulate; corolla white, the tube 57 mm. long, slightly dilated in the throat, 
glabrous and smooth near the base, above verrucose and puberulent, densely 
bearded within in the throat; corolla lobes 6, ovate or oval, 11 mm. long, 6 or 7 
mm. wide, rounded or obtuse at the apex, puberulent, bearded within at the 
base, imbricated; filaments 8:mm. long; anthers 10 mm. long; style 55 mm. 
Jong, glabrous below, scaberulo-puberulent above; stigmas oblong, 5 mm. long; 
fruit not seen, the ovaries 2-celled. 
Type in the U. 8S. National Herbarium, no. 580697, collected near Cordoba, 
Dagua Valley, State of Cauca, Colombia, in the Pacific coastal zone, altitude 30 
to 100 meters, December, 1905, by H. Pittier (mo. 514). 
This resembles Cassupa alba Schum. & Krause in the color of its flowers, but 
the corolla is longer and is verrucose and puberulent outside and the leaves are 
green beneath instead of densely white-puberulent. 
Gonzalagunia rugosa Standley, sp. nov. 
Young branches terete, densely matted-tomentose with pale brownish hairs, 
becoming glabrate in age; stipules 3 to 4 mm. long, triangular, with subulate 
tips; petioles very stout, 4 to 7 mm. long, densely tomentose; leaf blades lanceo- 
late or elliptic-lanceolate, 7 to 10 cm. Jong, 25 to 35 mm. broad, rather abruptly 
acuminate, rounded or obtuse at the base, thick and subcoriaceous, very con- 
Spicuously rugose, glabrous on the upper surface or tomentulose along the 
veins, densely matted-tomentose beneath with pale yellowish or brownish hairs; 
inflorescence a spike-like panicle 10 to 15 em. long and about 1.5 cm. broad, on 
a peduncle 25 mm. long; bracts linear, about 7 mm. long, persistent, before 
anthesis divaricate and exceeding the branches of the panicle; flowers in short- 
pedunculate many-flowered approximate cymes; calyx 4-lobed, the lobes broadly 
triangular, obtuse, persistent, the calyx and ovary together about 1.5 mm. long, 
densely tomentose; pedicels about 1 mm. long; corolla 5 mm. long, densely 
tomentose outside, the tube stout-cylindric, the 4 lobes broadly rounded, villous 
within; filaments very short, inserted above the base of the tube; anthers 
oblong, 1.25 mm. long; style 3.5 mm. long, puberulent; stigma 4-lobed, capitate; 
fruit depressed-demispheric, 4-celled, 3 mm. in diameter, densely tomentose; 
seeds rather few, brown, favose. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 581453, collected around Huila, an 
Indian village in the Rio Paez Valley, Tierra Adentro, State of Cauca, Colom- 
bia, altitude 1,600 to 1,900 meters, January, 1906, by H. Pittier (no. 1258). 
Distinguished from the other South American species of the genus by the 
very short corolla, as well as by the long bracts and densely tomentose lower 
surface of the leaves. 
Genipa codonocalyx Standley, sp. nov. 
Tree; young branches stout and succulent, glabrous or nearly so; stipules 
triangular-ovate, 10 to 12 mm. long, abruptly acuminate; petioles short, 5 to 15
