pressed, yellow-glandular, and the younger parts densely stellate- 
plumose pubescent. Leaves oblong to oblong-ovate, subcoria- 
ceous, entire, 12 to 16 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, about equally 
narrowed to the acute base and to the acuminate apex, the 
upper surface when young more or less stellate-pubescent, be- 
coming nearly glabrous, brownish-olivaceous, slightly shining, 
the lower surface paler, with numerous, scattered, pale-yellow, 
shining glands, densely stellate-pubescent on the midrib and 
nerves, with scattered stellate hairs on the lamina; lateral nerves 
about 9 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower 
surface, anastomosing, curved upward; petioles very densely 
stellate-pubescent, 2 to 2.5 cm long. Cymes in the upper axils, 
solitary, densely many-flowered, dichotomously branched, 7 to & 
cm in diameter, the peduncles stout, about 8 cm long, the pe- 
duncles, branches, bracts, bracteoles, and calyces densely stellate- 
plumose pubescent, the indumentum almost obscuring the 
scattered, shining, pale-yellow glands. Flowers white, 6 to 7mm 
long, the bracts oblanceolate to spatulate, 6 to 8 mm long, the 
bracteoles similar but much smaller. Calyx somewhat funnel- 
shaped, equally 4-lobed, 3 mm long, the lobes short, acute. Co- 
rolla 6 to 7 mm long, outside sparingly supplied with small, 
yellow, shining glands, the lobes 4, subequal, oblong-ovate, 
broadly rounded, 3 to 3.5 mm long, externally in the median 
portion sparingly stellate-pubescent as well as glandular. Fila- 
ments 7 and 8 mm long; anthers ovoid, 1.2 mm long, somewhat 
glandular on the back. Ovary ovoid, very densely covered with 
small, shining, pale-yellow glands.

Probably most closely allied to Callicarpa subglandulosa Elm., but 
differing from that species in many characters. Callicarpa megalantha 
is remarkable for its comparatively large flowers which are indicated by 
the collector as being white, a color otherwise unknown or at least very 
rare in the genus, its long-peduncled cymes, and its dark-brown or dark 
grayish-brown indumentum.

A suffrutescent, erect, sparingly branched plant 2 m high or 
less, very similar in appearance to Clerodentron intermedium 
Cham. Older stems glabrous or nearly so, 4-angled, the younger 
ones distinctly puberulent. Leaves broadly ovate, chartaceous, 
10 to 20 cm long, 9 to 17 em wide, acuminate, base with a
