This species is distinguished from Tarenna maritima Merr., 
to which it is manifestly allied, not only by its obtuse leaves, but 
also by its smaller flowers, the corolla-lobes distinctly shorter 
than the tube, much smaller anthers, and its glabrous styles. 
TARENNA STENANTHA sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, partibus junioribus et inflorescentiis cinereo- 
pubescentibus; foliis oblongis ad oblongo-ellipticis, usque ad 22 
cm longis, utrinque leviter et sparse pubescentibus, acuminatis, 
basi acutis vel decurrento-acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 
15, papyraceis, in siccitate olivaceis, nitidis; inflorescentiis co- 
rymbosis, breviter pedunculatis, multifloris; floribus tenuibus, 
numerosis, corollae tubo circiter 7 mm longo et 1.5 mm diametro, 
extus pubescentibus; ovulis circiter 16. 
A tree, about 5 m high, the younger parts, inflorescences, and 
leaves more or less pubescent with short, usually cinereous 
hairs. Branches brownish, somewhat wrinkled, glabrous, terete 
or obscurely rounded-angled, about 5 mm in diameter, the in- 
ternodes 1 cm long or less, the young branchlets nearly as stout, 
more definitely angled, and rather densely pubescent. Leaves 
chartaceous, olivaceous, shining, oblong to oblong-elliptic, 15 to 
22 cm long, 5 to 7.5 em wide, subequally narrowed to the acu- 
minate apex and acute to decurrent-acuminate base, both sur- 
faces sparingly pubescent with short, scattered hairs; lateral 
nerves about 15 on each side of the midrib, prominent, anasto- 
mosing; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long, pubescent; stipules lanceolate, 
or lanceolate from an ovate base, slenderly long-acuminate, spar- 
ingly pubescent, about 1 cm long. Inflorescences terminal, co- 
rymbose, rather densely cinereous-pubescent with short hairs, 
shortly peduncled, about 6 cm long, rather wider than long, 
many-flowered. Flowers white, slender, their pedicels 2 to 3 
mm long, the bracts scattered, linear, about 1 mm long. Calyx 
ovoid, pubescent, 1.5 mm long, the teeth 5, triangular, acute, 
0.3 mm long. Corolla-tube slender, cylindric, pubescent, 7 mm 
long, 1.5°mm in diameter, the lobes 5, oblong-elliptic, obtuse, 4 
mm long and 2 mm wide. Anthers linear, 3.5 mm long. Style 
and stigma about 17 mm long, exserted, the style pubescent 
above the glabrous base, the stigma entire or shortly 2-lobed at 
the apex. Ovary 2-celled; ovules about 8 in each cell.
