SOLANUM PERANOMALUM, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Frutex ramis florentibus validiusculis teretibus novellis complanatis glabris. Folia 
glabra, chartacea, integerrima, per paria approximata, opposita valde insqualia ; 
majora oblonga, breviter acuminata, acuta, basi sepius obliqua, 11-13 cm. x 4:5- 
5:3 em., petiolo lignoso 1 em. longo, venis subtus prominentibus secundariis 
utrinque 8-9; minora suborbicularia, 9 mm. diam. basi cordata, subsessilia. 
Flores numerosi, e pulvillo ad foliorum basi sito orti; pedicelli tenues, ut calyces 
sparse rufo-hirtelli +8 mm. longi. Calyx cupularis, limbo integerrimo, 2:5 mm. 
longus. Corolla vix 4 mm. longa, fere ad basin in lacinias oblongo-lanceolatas

The very woody habit, sessile cauliflorous inflorescences, and blunt ellipsoidal buds

tinguished by the indumentum. Our species is practically glabrous.
