PsYCHOTRIA OCHNIDIOPHORA, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Rami validi, valde complanati, densissime hirto-pubescentes, demum glabrescentes. 
Folia ampla, ovata, 15-25 x 6-10 em., supra glabra, subtus in venis densiuscule 
aliter sparsissime ferrugineo-pubescentia, brevissime et late acuminata, apice obtusa, 
basi in petiolum validum sepius dense hirtellum 2-45 cm. longum latiuscule 
angustata, venis supra hebetatis ac impressis subtus prominentibus, secundariis 
utrinque ca. 15-18; stipulee ample, ovate, ca. 25X17 cm., apice in lacinias 
duas late lanceolatas vix 9 mm. longas bifide, + hirte, in margine hirto-ciliate. 
Inflorescentie paniculate, cymose; pedunculus fere 10 cm. longus, cum ramis 
ferrugineo-pubescens; rami primarii 4, circa 4 cm. longi ad basin bracteis 4 lineari- 
setaceis ca. 1:5 em. longis onusti; bractee cæteræ setaces ; panicula (fructifera) 
pedunculo excluso ca. 11 cm. lata, 8 em. longa. Calycis lobi subsetacei, 3-4 mm. 
longi, rufo-hirsuti. Fructus pyriformis, dilute viridis, sparse hirtus, costatus, basi 
in pedicellum rufo-hirtellum ad 5 mm. longum attenuatus, calyce persistente 
coronatus. 
Canoe Camp, 150 ft. 
Allied apparently to P. Wichmanni, Val, which it resembles in the calyx-lobes and 
indumentum generally; distinct in its larger and differently-shaped leaves. 
A specimen collected at Camp I at 700 feet, with elliptic leaves and a small, lax, few- 
flowered inflorescence, may be a variety of this species; but the material is inadequate 
for certain determination. | 
PSYCHOTRIA RUBIGINOSISSIMA, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Frutex siccitate omnino valde rufescens ; ramuli, petioli, et inflorescentia dense pilis 
breviusculis hirtulis rufis induti. Folia coriacea, late ovata, ad 45x3:3 cm, 
breviter latiuscule acuminata, obtusa, basi rotundata vel truncata vel subcordata, 
supra nitentia, in venis impressis sparse aliter sparsissime rufo-puberula, infra in - 
venis valde prominentibus secundariis utrinque 3 dense aliter sparse rufo-pubescentia; 
petiolus validus, 3-4 mm. longus. Flores inter minores, ssepius sessiles, in thyrsum 
subcorymbosum ad ca. 7 em. longum 9 cm. latum collecti, pedunculi primarii 3-4, 
3-4 em. longi; bracteze minute, setaceze. Calya minutus, triangulariter 5-dentatus, 
cum ovario hirtus. Corolla anguste infundibularis, extus sparsiuscule hirta, intus 
glaberrima, rubescens; tubus 9:5-4 mm. longus; lobi lanceolati, 2 mm. longi, apice 
inflexo-incrassati. 
Camp III, 2500 ft. 
Remarkable for the red hairy appearance of the whole plant, and for the rather small 
broad leaves with few veins. 
PSYCHOTRIA UTAKWENSIS, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Ramuli validi, glabri, valde complanati. Folia ampla, obovata, 15-25 cm. longa, 
6-11 cm. lata, basi in petiolum validum subglabrum 1-2 cm. longum leniter — 
angustata, apice brevissime et late acuminata, supra glabra, subtus in venis
