CALLICARPA ALBIDO-TOMENTELLA sp. nov. 
Frutex circiter 2 m altus, ramulis et subtus foliis densissime 
albido-tomentellis vel puberulis; foliis lanceolatis, integris, mem- 
branaceis, usque ad 11 cm longis, supra glabris, brunneo- 
olivaceis, sursum angustatis, tenuiter acute acuminatis, basi 
angustatis, obtusis, interdum leviter inaequilateralibus, nervis 
utrinque 5 vel 6, tenuibus; cymis axillaribus, paucifloris, dicho- 
tomis, pedunculatis, 1.5 ad 2 cm longis; calycibus truncatis vel 
obscurissime 4-denticulatis, circiter 2 mm diametro, extus minute 
stellato-puberulo.. 
A shrub about 2 m high. Branches slender, terete, glabrous, 
grayish, the branchlets very densely and minutely grayish- or 
whitish-puberulent as is the lower surface of the leaves, the 
indumentum stellate. Leaves membranaceous, entire, lanceolate, 
7 to 11 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 em wide, gradually narrowed upward 
to the slenderly and sharply acuminate apex, narrowed below 
to the obtuse base, the base on some leaves slightly inequilateral, 
the upper surface glabrous, brownish-olivaceous, slightly shining, 
the lower entirely covered with the minute indumentum; lateral 
nerves 5 or 6 on each side of the midrib, slender, ascending, 
impressed on the upper surface, the reticulations here lax, very 
obscure, entirely obscured by the indumentum on the lower 
surface; petioles densely stellate-puberulent, 4 to 5 mm long. 
Cymes axillary, 1.5 to 2 em long, densely stellate-puberulent, 
slender, peduncled, dichotomous, few-flowered, the peduncle ex- 
ceeding the primary branches; pedicels slender, 1 to 1.2 mm long, 
the bracteoles acicular, nearly as long as the pedicels. Fruits 
subglobose, purplish when fresh, about 2.5 mm in diameter, 
glabrous, the calyx shallow, 2 mm in diameter, truncate or very 
obscurely 4-denticulate, outside at the base densely stellate- 
puberulent with very short white hairs. —
