GRUMILEA CAMARINENSIS sp. nov. 
Frutex circiter 3 m altus, subglaber; foliis chartaceis, oblongis 
ad late oblongo-oblanceolatis, usque ad 11 cm longis, brevissime 
acuminatis, deorsum angustatis, basi acutis, subtus ad nervos 
plus minusve hirsutis, nervis utrinque circiter 10, prominentibus, 
adscendentibus; fructibus ellipsoideis, circiter 12 mm longis, 
sessilibus, calycibus persistentibus; pyrenis plano-convexis, cir- 
citer 8 mm longis, longitudinaliter 4-sulcatis, albumine ruminato. 
A shrub about 3 m high, the young branchlets more or less 
hirsute. Branches glabrous, terete, dark-gray. Leaves firmly 
chartaceous, oblong to broadly oblong-oblanceolate, 7 to 11 cm 
long, 2 to 3.5 em wide, the apex shortly and obscurely acuminate 
or merely acute, narrowed from about the middle to the acute 
base, dark-colored on both surfaces when dry, dull, the lower 
surface sparingly hirsute on the lateral nerves and midrib; 
lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, very prom- 
inent on the lower surface, ascending; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm 
long. Inflorescence terminal, in fruit 5 cm long or less, ferru- 
ginous-hirsute, usually once forked, bearing few fruits, all sessile. 
Fruits yellow, ellipsoid, about 12 mm long, fleshy when fresh, 
the persistent calyx-tube prominent, crowning the fruit. Py- 
renes 2, ellipsoid, 8 mm long, 5 mm wide, plano-convex, longi- 
tudinally 4-sulcate, ridged, seeds ruminate.

GRUMILEA FASCICULIFLORA sp. nov. 
Frutex 1 ad 2 m altus, glaber; foliis lanceolatis, usque ad 
20 em longis, acuminatis, basi acutis, in siccitate brunneis char- 
taceis, nervis utrinque 12 ad 16, distantibus, distinctis; fructibus 
junioribus obovoideis, circiter 5 mm longis, breviter pedicellatis, 
in fasciculis terminalibus dispositis, pyrenis plano-convexis, dor- 
so haud sulcato, albumine ruminato. 
A shrub 1 to 2 m high, quite glabrous, the branches terete, 
rather slender, brownish in color when dry, smooth. Leaves 
lanceolate, chartaceous, brown and slightly shining when dry, 
10 to 20 m long, 2 to 3 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the 
acuminate apex and to the acute base; lateral nerves 12 to 16 
on each side of the midrib, slender, distinct, distant, curved,
