glabrous, 5 to 10 mm long. Panicles lateral, from the ultimate 
branchlets, axillary and in the axils of fallen leaves, peduncled, 
bipinnate, 8 to 10 cm long, the flowers racemosely arranged on the 
primary branches, their pedicels 3 to 4mm long. Flowers white, 
about 8 mm in diameter. Calyx lobes orbicular, rounded, glan- 
dular-punctate, margins ciliate. Corolla lobes oblong-elliptic, 
glandular-punctate, glabrous, 4 mm long, somewhat acuminate. 
Anthers lanceolate, acuminate, 2.56 mm long, the connectives 
slightly glandular.

This species is well characterized by its numerous, relatively 
large, regularly spaced glands, which are distinctly visible to 
the naked eye on both surfaces of the leaf. Its alliance is with 
Ardisia racemoso-panniculata Mez, from which it is distinguished 
not only by its very evident glands but also by its very slender 
obscure nerves and practically obsolete reticulations. 
ARDISIA LONGIPETIOLATA sp. nov. § Pyrgus. 
Frutex glaber, ramis 6 ad 8 mm diametro; foliis confertis, 
anguste oblongis ad oblongo-ellipticis, usque ad 30 cm longis, 
integris vel obscurissime denticulatis, obtusis vel acutis, per- 
spicue glanduloso-punctatis, nervis utrinque circiter 12; petiolo 
4 ad 7 cm longo; paniculis circiter 30 cm longis, ramis inferiori-

punctatis, margine ciliatis; fructibus circiter 1 cm diametro. 
A glabrous shrub, the branches terete, reddish-brown, 6 to 8 
mm in diameter. Leaves pseudoverticillate, usually about 6 
crowded at the end of each branch, narrowly oblong to oblong- 
elliptic or oblong-oblanceolate, 23 to 30 cm long, 6 to 10 cm 
wide, entire, or very obscurely toothed, apex obtuse to acute, 
base rounded, acute, or somewhat acuminate, when dry grayish 
or greenish olivaceous, shining, the lower surface rather densely 
glandular-puncticulate with dark-colored glands; lateral nerves 
usually about 12 on each side of the midrib, prominent, curved, 
anastomosing, the reticulations distinct; petioles 4 to 7 cm long, 
somewhat triangular. Panicles terminal, peduncled, about 30 
cm long, the lower primary branches 9 to 12 cm long, the flowers 
subumbellately arranged at the tips of the primary branches. 
Pedicels about 1.5 cm long, thickened upward. Persistent 
calyx about 7 mm in diameter, the lobes ovate, acute, about 3 
mm long, glandular-punctate, the margins ciliate. Fruits gla-
