white, the tube 12 mm long, rather slender, nearly black when’ 
dry, the lobes lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, 5 mm

PLEIOCARPIDIA K. Schumann 
PLEIOCARPIDIA LANAENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, usque ad 12 m alta, partibus junioribus et subtus 
foliis ad costa nervisque plus minusve pubescentibus; foliis 
oblongis, coriaceis, 15 ad 30 cm longis, 5 ad 11 cm latis, acu- 
minatis, basi acutis ad late rotundatis, nervis utrinque 15 ad 
18, subtus valde perspicuis; inflorescentiis paniculatis, 4 ad 8 
cm longis, pedunculatis, floribus polygamis, plerumque 7-meris, 
8 calycis 3 mm diametro, cinereo-pubescentibus, corollae tubo 
2 mm longo, lobis lanceolatis, 3 mm longis, intus villosis; disco 
puberulo; fructibus globosis, 6 ad 7 mm diametro, subglabris. 
A small tree attaining 12 m in height, the younger parts, 
inflorescences and the leaves on the midrib and nerves beneath 
more or less pubescent. Branches terete, rather stout, smooth, 
glabrous, brownish or grayish, the ultimate branchlets 2.5 to 4 
mm in diameter, often compressed or sulcate. Leaves oblong, 
coriaceous, 15 to 30 cm long, 5 to 11 cm wide, usually pale when 
dry, the upper surface glabrous, the apex shortly acuminate, 
base acute to rounded; lateral nerves 15 to 18 on each side of 
the midrib, somewhat curved, very prominent on the lower sur- 
face, the reticulations distinct; petioles 1.5 to 2 cm long, more 
or less pubescent; stipules oblong or ovate, 6 to 8 mm long, 
obtuse or acute. Inflorescences axillary, peduncled, cymose, 
more or less pubescent, 4 to 8 cm long, 3 to 6 em wide, somewhat 
pyramidal, many-flowered, the peduncles usually about 1 cm 
long. Flowers apparently polygamous, usually 7-merous, the 
ealyx of the staminate ones about 3 mm in diameter, shallowly 
cup-shaped, truncate or obscurely toothed. Corolla about 5 mm 
long, the tube 2 mm in length, the lobes usually 7, lanceolate, 
3 mm long, densely villous at the throat inside. Filaments 3 
mm long, the anthers 1 mm in length. Disk prominent, cushion- 
shaped, puberulent, not lobed, about 1.5 mm in diameter. 
Calyces of the perfect flowers somewhat urceolate; style about
