CALLICARPA LONGIVILLOSA sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ramulis et petiolis densissime et longe ferrugineo- 
villosis; foliis chartaceis, oblongo-ovatis, 18 ad 25 cm longis, 
integris vel subintegris, apice tenuiter longissime caudato-acu- 
minatis, basi acutis, utrinque plus minusve stellato-tomentosis, 
nervis utrinque 10 ad 12; cymis axillaribus, longe pedunculatis, 
usque ad 10 cm diametro, bracteis linearis, 5 ad 7 mm longis; 
calycis dense stellato-tomentosis, obscure 4-dentatis, 2 mm longis. 
A tree, about 5 m high. The branches and petioles densely 
villous with long, spreading, ferruginous hairs. Leaves char- 
taceous, oblong-ovate, entire, 18 to 25 cm long, 8 to 10 cm wide, 
narrowed upward to the very slender, caudate acumen, the 
latter up to 5 cm in length, base acute, usually inequilateral, — 
both surfaces more or less stellate-pubescent and with elongated 
simple hairs on the midrib and nerves, the indumentum dense 
only on the midrib and nerves; lateral nerves 10 to 12 on each 
side of the midrib, distinct as are the reticulations on the lower 
surface; petioles about 4 cm long. Cymes axillary, long-pe- 
duncled, about 12 cm long including the peduncle and up to 
10 cm in diameter, dichotomous, stellate-pubescent and villous, 
the bracts linear, 5 to 7 mm long. Flowers violet, 4-merous. 
Calyx cup-shaped, densely stellate-pubescent, obscurely 4-toothed, 
about 2 mm long and wide. Corolla puberulent, the tube cylin- 
dric, 3 mm long and the lobes broadly oblong, rounded, 1.8 mm 
long. Stamens exserted, the anthers about 2 mm in length.

casio, April 19, 1919, in forests along streams at low altitudes. 
The prominent characteristics of this species are its densely 
ferruginous-villous branches, branchlets, and petioles, similar 
simple hairs being intermixed with the stellate indumentum on 
other parts of the plant; its very slenderly acuminate, entire 
leaves; and its long-peduncled inflorescences.
