Marca 27, 1915] Two Hunprep Twenty Six New Srrecies—1 2625 
reticulations coarse; petiole grooved above, glabrous when 
old, 7 to 10 mm long; bud bract sharply pointed, 1 cm 
long, pubescent. Inflorescence clustered in the axils of the 
old leaf scars or occasionally scattered along short leafless 
branches; flowers several, arising from a common short lig- 
neous tubercle; pedicels 3 to 5 mm long or less, strigose, 
subtended by numerous similarly hairy short blunt bracts; 
calyx rotately spreading in flower, 4 mm across, 4-lobed, 
united below the middle into a short thick pedicel; lobes 
2.25 mm long, coriaceous and especially thickened toward 
the base in the middle region which on the dorsal side is 
strigosely pubescent, about as wide across the truncately 
rounded apex, apical margins much thinner and glabrate 
on the outside, edges finely ciliate; corolla early falling, 
barrel shaped, 6 mm long, 3.5 mm thick across the mid- 
dle, each end short tapering, 4-segmented at the apex, 
glabrate or pulverulent on the exterior, glabrous on the 
interior, coriaceous; lobes 1.5 mm long, a trifle wider, 
broadly obtuse and bluntly pointed at the apex, auriculately 
constricted at the base, margins twisted; stamens 8, all. 
equal and fertile, with 4 alternating and 4 opposite the 
segmented divisions; filaments fleshy, glabrous except the 
puberulent edges toward the distal end, flat, linear, at least 
0.75 mm wide, 2.5 mm long, inserted upon the basal portion 
of the corolla and falling with it; anthers double, basifixed, 
triangular, acute toward the apex, the upper one 1.5 mm 
long, the other 0.5 mm shorter and inserted a trifle below 
the outer or upper one, the cells separated at the base; 
ovary 1.5 mm across, glabrous, rugosely flattened, with a 
short blunt central point, sessile. Young fruits ascending 
or divaricate, chiefly lateral, solitary or in small clusters, 
castaneus brown but with lighter brown hairs, ovoid, apicnlate 
at the apex, with age entirely glabrous; persistent calyx velvety, 
deep brown pubescent, the 4 lobes subreflexed and their 
sides curved upon the dorsal side; pedicel very short and 
thick.
