tis, usque ad 7 cm longis, depauperato-cymosis; fructibus glo- 
bosis, circiter 1 cm diametro. 
A glabrous shrub 4 to 5 m high. Branches terete, greenish- 
olivaceous or brown, the branchlets pale-greenish, somewhat 
compressed or obscurely angled. Leaves rather thickly coria- 
ceous, oblong-ovate to oblofig, 9 to 15 cm long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, 
rather pale when dry, slightly shining, both surfaces distinctly 
and rather densely reticulate, narrowed above to the somewhat 
acuminate apex, the base subacute to obtuse, margins, somewhat 
thickened, slightly recurved glandular-denticulate with minute 
teeth 2 to 5 mm apart; lateral nerves about 8 on each side of the 
midrib, slender, rather distinct, anastomosing; petioles 2 mm 
long. Infructescences axillary, peduncled, about 7 cm long, the 
fruits 1 to 3 on each peduncle in a depauperate cyme. Fruits 
reddish when fresh, globose, about 10 mm in diameter, smooth, 
4-valved, but by abortion with but one or two seeds, the seeds 
brown when dry, about 8 mm in diameter, the aril large, some-- 
what fleshy, orange-red.

4, 1917, on damp forested slopes, altitude about 300 meters. 
This species is well characterized by the short-petioled, rather thickly 
coriaceous leaves, the reticulations dense and evident on both surfaces. 
It is most closely allied to Glyptopetalum marivelense Merr.

Frutex circiter 2 m altus, glaber, ramis ramulisque teretibus; 
foliis subcoriaceis, late ellipticis ad -obovatis, usque ad 5 cm 
longis, apice late rotundatis, basi acutis, margine integris vel 
sursum obscure crenatis, in siccitate pallidis vel subolivaceis, 
interdum glaucescentibus, nervis primariis utrinque 4 vel 5,

A glabrous shrub about 2 m 5 hike the branches and branch- 
lets terete, the former brown, the latter pale-greenish and 1 to 
1.5 mm in diameter. Leaves subcoriaceous, broadly elliptic to 
obovate, 4 to 5 cm long, 2.5 to 4 em wide, apex broadly rounded, 
base acute, smooth, slightly shining, entire or the margins above 
obscurely and distantly crenate, when dry pale to subolivaceous, 
sometimes more or less glaucous; lateral nerves 4 or 5 on each 
side of the midrib, obscure, slender, obscurely anastomosing,
