MORINDA GLANDULOSA sp. nov. 
Species M. umbellatae affinis, differt floribus fructibusque 
majoribus, foliis subtus in axillis venarum valde glandulosis. 
A scandent shrub, quite glabrous except for the villous throats 
of the corollas, and the somewhat villous glands. Branches 
terete, light-gray, 3 to 4 mm in diameter, somewhat rugose or 
lenticillate. Leaves oblong, elliptic-oblong, or oblong-lanceolate, 
chartaceous to subcoriaceous, 7 to 10 cm long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, 
about equally narrowed at both ends, the apex broadly acuminate, 
acute, or obtuse, the base acute or somewhat decurrent-acumi- 
nate, somewhat brownish-gray when dry, uniform in color and 
shining on both surfaces; lateral nerves about 8 on each side of 
the midrib, slender, arched-anastomosing, the reticulations lax, 
not prominent, on the lower surface each axil usually with a 
prominent, round to elliptic gland 1 to 2.5 mm long, villous within; 
petioles 1.5 to 2.5 cm long; stipules wide, truncate, about 2 mm 
long, deciduous. Heads laxly umbelled at the tips of the branch- 
lets, about 4 in each umbel, sometimes additional solitary ones 
in the upper axils, the heads, in anthesis, 1 to 1.5 cm in diameter, 
rather dense, globose, their peduncles slender, 1 to 2 cm long. 
Flowers sessile, apparently white. Calyces densely crowded, 
the limbs slightly produced, truncate or minutely denticulate, 
about 1.5 mm in diameter. Corolla-tube cylindric, not con- 
stricted, about 2 mm long, stout, glabrous externally, with 5 or 
6 lobes, the lobes elliptic-oblong, obtuse, 3 to 3.5 mm long, 1.5 to 
1.8 mm wide, glabrous, the throat densely villous. Anthers 
narrowly elliptic-oblong, 2 to 2.8 mm long. Style 2.5 mm long, 
the sigmas stout, 1 mm long. Fruit fleshy, globose, when dry 
and somewhat flattened out, 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter, the pyrenes 
numerous, narrowly oblong, obtuse, 3 to 4 mm long, somewhat 
horny.

The prominently glandular leaves are apparently characteristic.
