on long slender pedicels in lax racemes and situated in the upper axils. 
VACCINIUM BopENII, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Fruticulus glaber ; ramuli valde angulati, dense foliosi. Folia crasse coriacea, ovata 
vel elliptica, apice rotundata, fere 1 em. longa, 5:5 mm. lata, utrinque glabra; vene 
supra celate, subtus prominule, pauce nec vero valde manifeste. Flores solitarii 
vel bini axillares; pedicelli ad 3 mm. longi, in calycem brevissimum latissime et 
obscuriuscule dentatum desinentes. Corolla couico-urceolata, 5 mm. longa, basi 
4-5 mm. lata, extus ut calyx glabra; lobi breves, rotundati, patentes. 
Camps XII to XIII, 11,000 to 12,500 ft. 
Characterised by the tough, small leaves and small flowers on very short, thick 
pedicels. Allied, apparently, to V. ambyandrum, F. Muell. 
VACCINIUM OCLORUM, Wernham, sp. nov. 
= Caulis ramosus, subglaber. Folia coriacea, elliptica, 7-8 mm. x 4-5 mm., apicem 
rotundatum versus obscure crenulata, basi rotundata. Flores solitarii vel bini, in 
pedicellis 6-7 mm. longis, omnino glabri; bractez lanceolate, pedunculi basin 
amplectentes, imbricate. Calyx brevissimus, + obscure 5-dentatus. Corolla 
globoso-urceolata, insuper in apiculum brevem elliptice lobatum constricta, tota 
6-7 mm. longa, 5-6 mm. lata. 
Camps XIII to XIV, 10,500 to 12,500 ft. 
Distinguished by the very small, thick, elliptie leaves and short inflated flowers. 
VACCINIUM CULMINICOLUM, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Suffruticulus ramulis graciliusculis novellis hispidulo-puberulis. Folia crasse coriacea, 
venis preter centralem plus minus celatis, in margine hic inde irregulariter sparse 
ciliata, aliter glabra, ovata, apice basique rotundata, 9-12 mm. Xx 6-85 mm.; 
petiolus brevissimus. Flores solitarii, pedicellis sparse hispidulo-pilosis 3 mm. 
longis suffulti; bractez inconspicue. Calycis tubus brevis, sparse pilosus ; dentes 
angulares, ciliati. Corolla globoso-urceolata, glabra, 8 mm. longa; lobi anguste 
obtusi, 2-3 mm. longi. 
Camps XIII to XIV, 10,500 to 12,500 ft. 
Related to F. cyclopense, J. J. Smith, which it resembles closely in leaf-shape; but 
the corolla-lobes of our species are relatively long and narrow, and almost spathulate.
