6. Cestrum montanum (n. sp.) — glaberrimum, ramulis tereti- 



bus, virgatis, superne subangulatis ; foliis lineari-lanceola- 



tis, valde acuminatis, petiolatis, pseudo-stipulis foliosis ; 



racemis axillaribus, compositis, pedunculo, pedicellisque 



compressis, apice tumidis, bracteis linearibus, caducissimis, 



staminibus inclusis, filamentis tenuibus, dente parvo mu- 



mtis. — Brasilia, in montibus Organensibus. v. v. 



The leaves are 4| in. long and 11 lines broad, with 14 pairs 



of divaricate nervures, on a slender petiole, 6 lin. long ; the 



pseudo-stipules are spathulately ovate, 5 lines long, 3 lin. 



broad ; the racemes are 2 in. long, and the pedicels 3 lines. 



The calyx is tubular, 1 line Jong, 5-toothed, with ciliate 



margins, the tube of the corolla is slender, 8 lin. long, swollen 



at the mouth, the border is expanded with lanceolate lobes 



and tomentous plicate edges, the filaments, one-third of its 



length, being inserted above the middle of the tube ; the 



stigma is cup-shaped, hollow, somewhat 2-lobed, and 



exserted; the bracts are 2 lin. long, and very soon fall 



away. 



/• Cestrum coriaceum (n. sp.) — ramulis teretibus, furfuraceis ; 

 foliis lanceolato-ellipticis, coriaceis, superne nitidis, subtus 

 glaucis, rugosis, marginibus subrevolutis, petiolo crasso, 

 caniculato, pseudo-stipulis nullis, floribus paucis axillaribus, 

 vix racemosis, subfasciculatis, bracteis linearibus, stamini- 

 bus edentulis, inclusis, medio corollas insertis, filamentis 

 glabris, basi hirsutis. — Minas Geraes Brasilia, v. s. in herb. 

 weo, et Herb. Hooker, {Gardner, n. 1786, et Claussen.) 

 This is very distinct from C. corymbomm in its much 

 larger and more coriaceous leaves and longer petiole, in its 

 axillary flowers, in the insertion of the stamens, and other 

 characters. It differs also from C. laurifolium in the size of 

 lts le aves, and its edentulate stamens. The leaves are very 

 thick and opaque, 9 in. long and 3 \ in. broad, on a petiole 

 9 tin. long. The peduncle of the raceme is barely 3 lines in 

 length, few-flowered, with linear bracts, 1 line long. The 

 Cal yx is campanulate, glabrous, 5-toothed, l£ line long, the
