7 to 8 mm long, about 4 mm wide, glabrous, glandular-punctate, acu- 
minate, the tube short. Anthers lanceolate-ovoid, 5 mm long, the 
apex long-apiculate-acuminate, the median portion of the back dis- 
{inctly glandular, the filaments very short. Ovary ovoid, minutely

Ardisia darlingii sp. nov. § Tinopsis. 
Arbor glabra circiter 20 m alta; foliis oblongis vel anguste oblongo- 
obovatis, chartaceis vel subcoriaceis, nitidis, minutissime obscureque 
puncticulatis, apice rotundatis, obtusis vel obscure late acuminatis, basi 
cuneatis, margine recurvatis; inflorescentiis terminalibus axillaribusque, 
corymboso-paniculatis ; sepalis glandulosis, margine ciliato-pubescentibus. 
A tree about 20m high, glabrous. Branches terete, grayish-brown, 
rather stout. Leaves alternate, somewhat crowded on the younger branch- 
lets, oblong or narrowly oblong-obovate, entire, 7 to 11 cm long, 1.5 
to 3.5 em wide, shining, chartaceous or subcoriaceous, the apex rounded, 
obtuse, or broadly and obscurely acuminate, narrowed from about the 
middle to the cuneate base, the margins recurved, the lower surface very 
minutely and obscurely glandular-puncticulate; nerves about 15 on each 
side of the midrib, not prominent, obscurely anastomosing, the reticula- 
tions lax, obscure or subobsolete; petioles about 1 cm long. Inflorescence 
terminal and in the upper axils, corymbose-paniculate 10 cm long-or less, 
the lower branches of the terminal panicles about 5 cm long, the upper ones 
shorter, each branch bearing at. its apex a congested raceme or umbel of 
from 5 to 10 flowers, the pedicels unequal in length, each subtended by an 
oblong or oblong-ovate, obtuse bracteole about 3.5 mm long, 2 mm wide, the 
pedicels 3 to 12 mm long. Sepals elliptic-ovate, about 3 mm long, 2.5 
mm wide, rounded, entire, slightly united at the base, overlapping, dis- 
tinctly glandular-punctate with small reddish glands, the margins ciliate-
