RUBIACEX. 
Pavetta siphonantha. Foliis membranaceis elliptico-oblongis repente 
acuminatis in petiolum brevem attenuatis, stipulis connatis mucro- 
natis intus pilosis, corymbis axillaribus terminalibusque, corolle 
tubo longissimo, laciniis oblongis obtusis tubo quadruplo brevioribus, 
calycis laciniis parvis acutis reflexis. 
This species is distinguished by the very long tube of the corolla 
(13 inch), and the very long slender style, which is more than twice the 
length of the corolla, and terminates in a fine point. The leaves are 
6-8 inches long, 23-3 broad, thin and membranous, with a very fine 
acumen. The whole plant turns black in drying.

2. Psychotria longifolia, Fruticosa, erecta, glabra, foliis linearibus 
basi in petiolum attenuatis apice obtuse acuminatis, stipulis biden- 
tatis in tubum vaginantem connatis, inflorescentia terminali panicu- 
leformi trichotoma, bracteis sub ramificationibus parvis dentatis, 
fructus ? 
'This species is readily recognized by its long linear leaves, ten inches 
to a foot in length, and but one inch in breadth. The stipules are like 
those of P. ? vaginans, the inflorescence like that of P. ambigua. The ` 
anthers are linear, obtuse, exserted, and longer ihan their filaments. 
Stigma included. The tube of the corolla is quite glabrous internally, 
and three times longer than the segments of the limb, which are fleshy. 
The flower-bud is straight.

3. Hedyotis (Anotis) latifolia. Caule erecto glabro tetragono fere 
tetraptero trichotomo, foliis ovatis apice acutis basi rotundatis 
breve petiolatis, in nervis subtus prominentibus hispidulis supra lete - 
viridibus subtus glaucis 1} poll. longis 1 poll. latis, stipulis infe- 
rioribus truncatis glabris superioribus 3-6 setis ciliatis przeditis, 
floribus in pedunculis trichotomo-ramosis tetragonis longiusculis 
terminalibus et extra-axillaribus paucis minutis pallide roseis, in-
