26 REPORT ON TWO BOTANICAL COLLECTIONS FROM 
numerous and narrower leaflets and longer and more lax racemes than those of the 
present collections; but I believe both forms belong to Weinmannia fagarioides, H. B. 
& K., which seems to be somewhat variable in the characters mentioned.

Summit of Mount Roraima, McConnell & Quelch, 495.—Also in the Andes of Colombia 
up to 11,000 ft. elevation. 
This was considered to be a new species by Prof. Oliver, but I cannot distinguish it by 
any specific character from M. myricoides, H. B. & K. 
MYRTUS RORAIMENSIS, N. E. Brown, sp. n. Omnino glabra. Folia parva, anguste oblonga 
vel oblongo-lanceolata, obtusa, coriacea, utrinque glanduloso-punctata, supra nitida, 
rugulosa. Flores axillares. Petala orbicularia, glanduloso-punctata. Stamina 
quam petala breviora. Ovarium 3-loculare. 
A branching shrub, quite glabrous in all parts. Leaves small, 1—6 lin. long, including 
the 4-1 lin. long petiole, 14-34 lin. broad, usually narrowly oblong or oblong-lanceolate, 
occasionally ovate, obtuse, rounded at the base, rigidly coriaceous, shining and rugulose 
above in the dried state, pale beneath, gland-dotted on both sides. Flowers axillary, 
solitary. Pedicels 13—3 lin. long, bibracteolate at the apex.  Bracteoles 11-12 lin. long, 
3-1 lin. broad, linear or linear-lanceolate, obtuse, coriaceous, gland-dotted. Calyx-tube 
$ lin. long, hemispherical; lobes about 1 lin. long, 3-3 lin. broad, oblong or ovate- 
oblong, obtuse, gland-dotted. Petals about 2 lin. long and broad, suborbicular, very 
obtuse, gland-dotted. Stamens shorter than the petals. Ovary 3-celled ; ovules several 
in each cell. Berry drooping, globose, about 3 lin. diam., erowned with the calyx-lobes. 
Summit of Mount Roraima, 8600 ft., McConnell & Quelch, 635, 641. 
This species somewhat resembles M. myricoides, H. B. & K., but differs in having 
perfectly glabrous stems, smaller, narrower, and less acute leaves, shorter pedicels, and 
smaller calyx-lobes.
