exceeding oval lobes: anthers narrowly linear (11): style 
glabrous: drupe obovoid-oblong (6—7 X 3-4), thick putamenan-

Parathesis calophylla. —Except upper face of foliage every- 
where densely ochraceous-tomentulose: leaves elliptical-lance- 
olate (6-8x2-21")conterminously attenuate, tapering into 
canaliculate long (15 x 18") petiole, 15-20 costal nerves unit- 
ing within the revolute margins, evenulose, nigro-punctate 
beneath the tomentum: panicles chiefly axillary, subequalling 
leaves, broadly pyramidate, loose, axes stout and spreading; 
flowers exceeding pedicels, few-fasciculate at apex of secon- 
dary or tertiary branches: calyx-segments elongete-triangular

anthers nearly equalling filament (13, obtuse, affixed at base, 
dehiscing throughout: ovary tomentose, tapering into style: 
berry not seen. —Other species with distinctly compound pan- 
icles may be distinguished either by glabrity or by minute 
calyx.—Tree 40-50* high with a slender trunk, the glossy 
upper surface of the leaves remaining green in exsiccate speci- 
mens, and contrasting elegantly with the dark-brown under- 
surface. —San Miguel Uspantán, alt. 6,000", Apr. 1892, Heyde
