ILICACE X. 
ILEX APICIDENS, N. E. Brown, sp. n. (Plate 1, figs. 1-6). Frutex glaber. Folia parva, ` 
coriacea, elliptica, obtusa vel emarginata, basi obtusa, apice denticulata. Cyme 
axillares vel ad apices ramulorum aggregate, 2--3-flore, vel flores solitarii, glabree. 
Calyx 4-lobus, lobis brevissimis rotundatis. Petala 4, elliptica. vel suborbiculata 
obtusissima. Stamina 4. 
A glabrous shrub; branches tuberculated with the scars of the fallen leaves. Leaves 
moderately crowded, coriaceous ; petiole 4-2. lin. long; blade 5-11 lin. long, 4-7 lin. 
broad, elliptic or somewhat obovate. obtusely rounded or emarginate and with 5-9 small 
teeth at the apex, obtusely rounded or somewhat cuneate at the base, entire along the 
sides, with slightly revolute margins, not punctate-dotted beneath; primary lateral 
veins about 4 on each side, uniting in broad loops, impressed above, prominent beneath; 
stipules minute, about 3 lin. long, subulate. Flowers either solitary or in 2—3-flowered 
pedunculate cymes in the axils of the leaves, or crowded into a small, terminal, hemi- 
spherical corymb $-? in. diam. Peduncles 13-3 lin. long, glabrous.  Pedicels of the 
solitary flowers 2-55 lin. long, of those in cymes 1-23 lin. long, glabrous. Calyx about 
1 lin. long, cupular, shortly 4-lobed, lobes broadly rounded, obtuse, glabrous. Petals 4, 
14-14 lin. long, 12-13 lin. broad, elliptic or suborbiculate, very obtuse, concave, glabrous. 
Stamens 4, a little shorter than the petals.  Pistillode globose, glabrous. Female 
flowers not seen. 
Summit of Mount Roraima, 8600 ft., McConnell & Quelch, 634. 
Allied to 7. obcordata, Sw., but differing in the apically toothed leaves, with the midrib 
and veins much more prominent beneath.
