casio, April 24, 1919, at the iron deposit on the northeast coast 
on ridges at low altitudes. 
This species apparently belongs in the group with Dichape- 
talum timoriense Engl. and seems to be sufficiently well charac- 
terized by its coriaceous leaves, the ultimate reticulations of 
which are rather close, raised, and distinct on both sides. 
DICHAPETALUM OBLONGIFOLIUM sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens, conspicue ciliatus; foliis chartaceis, oblongis, 
8 ad 14 cm longis, in siccitate pallidis, basi acutis, sursum 
angustatis, apice obtuse acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 7, 
distinctis, reticulis laxis; cymis axillaribus, solitariis, brevis- 
sime pedunculatis, 1 ad 1.5 cm longis, sepalis dense pubescens, 
late ovatis, rotundatis, 2 mm longis, petalis oblongo-obovatis, 
apice retusis. 
A woody vine, all parts ciliate with rather pale, spreading, 
more or less scattered hairs, the indumentum dense on the 
younger parts. Branches glabrous, grayish, about 3 mm in 
diameter, the younger branchlets rather densely ciliate. Leaves 
chartaceous, oblong, 8 to 14 cm long, 2 to 3.5 em wide, rather 
pale when dry, the base acute, narrowed upward to the some- 
what blunt-acuminate apex, both surfaces prominently ciliate 
with long, scattered hairs; lateral nerves abgut 7 on each side 
of the midrib, curved, distinct, the reticulations lax; petioles 
densely villous, 3 to 5 mm long. Cymes axillary, solitary, short- 
peduncled, dichotomous, 1 to 1.5 cm long, densely ciliate. 
Flowers white, 4 to 5 mm in diameter, their pedicels 2 mm 
long or less, the bracts lanceolate, acuminate, up to 3 mm in 
length, the bracteoles linear. Sepals densely pubescent, broadly 
ovate, rounded, 2 mm long. Petals 5, thin, oblong to narrowly 
oblong-obovate, about 1.8 mm long, the apex cleft for 0.5 mm 
or less. Filaments stout, about 1 mm long, the anthers about 
as long as the filaments. 
Bucas GRANDE, Bur.. Sci. 35044 Ramos & Pascosio, June 6, 
1919, in thickets along streams at low altitudes. 
A species manifestly allied to Dichapetalum ciliatum Merr., 
but with longer, differently shaped leaves which are prom- 
inently ciliate on both surfaces. 
DICHAPETALUM HOLOPETALUM sp. nov. 
Frutex scandens, partibus junioribus et foliis et inflores- 
centiis perspicue ciliatis; foliis membranaceis, oblongo-ellipti- 
cis, 10 ad 18 cm longis, basi acutis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, 
nervis utrinque circiter 6, perspicuis, reticulis laxis; cymis
