PSYCHOTRIA PALLIDIFOLIA sp. nov. 
Frutex erectus, glaber; foliis firmiter chartaceis ad subcoria- 
ceis, oblongis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, in siccitate pallidis, nitidis, 
usque ad 15 cm longis, acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque 
circiter 10, curvatis, anastomosantibus, utrinque cum reticulis 
perspicuis ; paniculis usque ad 4 cm longis, e basi ramosis, ramis 
paucis; fructibus obovoideis, 6 ad 7 mm longis, longitudinaliter 
perspicue carinatis; pyrenis plano-convexis, dorso perspicue bi- 
carinatis, albumine aequabile. 
An erect glabrous shrub, the branches brownish, or the younger 
ones subolivaceous. Leaves firmly chartaceous to subcoriaceous, 
pale and shining when dry, of the same color on both surfaces, 
oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 9 to 15 cm long, 3 to 5 em wide, 
subequally narrowed to the acute base and the distinctly acu- 
minate apex; lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, 
curved, sometimes ascending, anastomosing, distinct on both sur- 
faces as are the rather close reticulations; petioles 5 to 10 mm 
long. Panicles terminal, up to 4 cm long in fruit, with two 
primary lateral branches from the base, the flowers somewhat 
crowded on the primary branches. Fruits obovoid, 6 to 7 mm 
long, rather prominently sulcate and ridged when dry, their 
pedicels 1 to 2 mm long. Pyrenes plano-convex, prominently 
2-keeled, the seeds conforming to the pyrenes, the albumen 
uniform, not at all ruminate.

This species resembles the imperfectly known Psychotria ne- 
grosensis Elm., differing radically in the shape of its leaves. It 
is perhaps as closely allied to this species as to any other de- 
scribed form. 
PSYCHOTRIA PANAYENSIS sp. nov. 
Frutex erectus, inflorescentiis minute puberulis exceptis 
glaber; foliis oblongis ad oblongo-obovatis, membranaceis vel 
chartaceis, 15 ad 20 cm longis, apice breviter obtuse acuminatis, 
nervis utrinque 12 ad 14, perspicuis; paniculis brevibus, circiter 
3 cm longis et 5 cm latis, ramis verticillatis; fructibus obovoi- 
deis, haud sulcatis, 7 mm longis, seminibus plano-convexis, al- 
bumine aequabile. &
