282 SOUTH AMERICAN BOTANY. 
Osorno, Bridges, (n. 566.)—This species certainly approaches 
the G. mucronata; but is smaller in every part with much 
narrower leaves. Our second var. is in fruit and has the 
lower half of the calyx remarkably fleshy. 
680. (1) Symplocos tinctoria, L'Hérit.—Hopea tincto- 
ria. L.— Frequent in woods of Rio Grande, Tweedie, (n. 35.) 
— We cannot distinguish this as a species from the North 
American plant of the same name. 
681. (1) Styrax acuminatum, Pohl, Pl. Bras. Ic. p. 58. t. 
138.—St. Catherine, S. Brazil, Tweedie, (n. 7.) 
682. (2) Styrax leprosum (Hook. & Arn.) ; ubique squam- 
ulis nitidis leprosum (pagina superiore foliorum excepta), 
foliis ovato-ellipticis obtusiusculis integerrimis, racemis axill- - 
aribus, floribus secundis, calyce hemisphzerico capsula ellip- 
tica triplo breviore.— Portalagre, Tweedie, (n. 12.) —We have 
Seen no flowers of this plant, but its habit and the structure 
of the fruit are quite those of the present Genus. It is a 
solitary instance, we believe, of the presence of leprous 
scales (as in Ekeagnus) ; which take the place of the stellated 
pubescence of the other known species. 
683. (1) Lucuma neriifolia (Hook. & Arn.) foliis elon- 
gato-lanceolatis basi attenuatis glaberrimis brevi-petiolatis 
coriaceis, floribus tetrandris aggregatis brevi-pedunculatis 
erectis, corolla tubulosa calyce duplo longiori, filamentis 
elongatis basi curvatis.— Banks of the Uraguay, Parana 
and Rio Grande, called by the natives Mato de Ochos, 
Tweedie, (n. 108.) —In this remarkable species the tube of 
the corolla is much elongated, the scales (or abortive stamens) 
being nearly equal in length with the segments of the corolla 
and like them very obtuse. The filaments are of the same 
length and are bent at the base just above the point of in- 
sertion: Anthers very small. 
684. (2) Lucuma obovata, Humb. et Kunth, Nov. Gen. 
v. iii, p. 241.—Achras Lucuma, R. & P. FI. Per. v. iii. ^
