GLYPTOPETALUM LOHERI sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor glabra; foliis subcoriaceis, ellipticis ad ellip- 
tico-ovatis, integris, breviter petiolatis, usque ad 10 cm longis, in 
siccitate pallidis, acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque 5 vel

A glabrous shrub or small tree, the branches terete, reddish-

equal in size, opposite, subcoriaceous, pale when dry, elliptic to 
ovate-elliptic, 6 to 10 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, subequally nar- 
rowed to the acute base and to the sharply acuminate apex, shin-

slender, obscure, the reticulations nearly obsolete; petioles 3 to 4 
mm long. Cymes axillary, short, the peduncles 1 cm long or less, 
unbranched or with two very short branchlets. Flowers ap- 
parently sessile, crowded, few. Fruits globose, 6 to 10 mm in 
diameter, not sulcate, 1- to 4-celled, 1- to 4-seeded, the pericarp 
pale when dry, thickly coriaceous; seeds brown, about 7 mm 
long, the apical one-third surrounded by a thin, membranaceous,
