Elaeocarpus candollei Elm. n. sp. 
A small or middle sized tree; stem nearly 3 dm. thick, 10

ultimately numerously branched; the glabrous twigs suberect, 
less than 5 mm. thick; wood rather soft, dingy or yellowish 
white, light, odorless and tasteless; bark relatively thick, gray, 
roughened with lenticels, otherwise melleus especially the

glabrous, alternate, greenish brown in the dry state, the 
average blade 1 dm. long by 5 em. wide across the middle, 
elliptic to oblongish, entire toward the obtuse base, otherwise 
usually with shallow crenate serratures; midvein very pronounced 
beneath, reddish brown, shining; lateral pairs 5 to 7 on each side, 
very oblique, subparallel, tips anastomosing, also conspicuous, 
with minute glands in their axils, reticulations very fine and 
especially evident from the upper side; petiole glabrous, 3 em. 
long, reddish brown thickened at both ends, caniculate along the

or less 1 dm. long, arising from the lowermost leaf axils; flowers 
pendant, odorless, their buds obovoidly elongated; pedicels stra-

calyx densely canescent on the outside, united about the base;

. eeolately oblong, with blunt apices; petals veiny, equal in number 
and in length, oblong in outline, cinereous on both sides, the

serted below the glands which snugly fit in between the margins 
and the midvein, 2.5 mm. wide, the upper one third pectinate and
