ciles. Flores parvi, albi. Petala obovata, obtusa. Styli 
apice incrassati, lineam longi. 
The genus Chenopleura is very nearly allied to Miconia, 
differing chiefly by the anthers dehiscing longitudinally, not 
by pores. It may also be readily distinguished by the three 
large veins of the leaves being connected together at the base 
by a thin membrane. 
400. Chenopleura lanceolata (sp. n.); subglabra, foliis petio- 
latis lanceolatis longé acuminatis basi acutis integerrimis 
glabris, paniculis terminalibus, calycis lati campanulati 
limbo 4-5-dentato, lobis acutis. 
Has. In woods. Fi. Feb. 
Frutex 8-10 pedalis. Folia 31-43 poll. longa, 8-10 lin. 
lata. Petioli 6-8 lin. longi. Calyx laciniis subpersistentibus. 
Petala alba, obovato-oblonga. Styli apice incrassati, 13 lin. 
longi. 
This species differs from the former by having much nar- 
rower leaves, larger flowers, subpersistent acute calycine 
segments, more oblong petals, and styles one-third longer. 
401. Chenopleura densiflora (sp. n.) ; paniculis foliisque sub- 
tus pube stellata subtilissima sublepidotis, foliis elliptico- 
oblongis longé acuminatis basi acutis integerrimis supra

lata. Petioli 2.4 lin. longi. Flores tetrameri. com late 
oblonga, alba. Styli vix lineam longi. 
Distinguished from C. lanceolata by its shorter and broader 
leaves, with shorter petioles, larger flowers, broader and more 
oblong petals, shorter and very obtuse calycine segments, and 
much shorter style.
