Grisebach in his Catalogus Plantarum Cubensiuin includes under C. 

 fulva Rich. Mr. Wright's Majanabajo, Cuba 3173 with the remark 

 "forma foliis lanceolatis." The sheet of this number in Herb. Gray, 

 Cambridge (one of Mr. Wright's original series), proves to be an entirely 

 different species. This may be designated as follows : 



CALLICARPA LANCIFOLIA sp. nov. 



Ramulis cum cymis petiolis foliorumque tomento stellari ferrugineo 

 canescentibus, foliis crassis lanceolatis apice acutis ad basin attenuatis 

 brevipetiolatis, supra nigra, ad sicca valde reticulato-rugosis et minute 

 resinosis, infra lutea dense stellato-canescentibus, margine leviter et irre- 

 gulariter crenato-denticulosis. Cymis axillaribus folio medio brevior- 

 ibus ramoso-dichotomis, calyce campanulatis dense resino-granulatis 

 cum quidam pilae stellatis et perpauci hirtis, limbo in lobis triangul- 

 aris valde divisis. 



Eastern Cuba, C. Wright No. 3173 in Herb. Gray, Cambridge, U.S. A. 

 type. Leaves 5 cm. long, i cm. broad, strongly bicolor; they differ 

 from those of C. fulva Rich, in their shape, the far less prominence of 

 the veins beneath, and in not having the pubescence thereon so thick 

 and strongly tufted.

The name from <J>eudrjs false, kapxidiov carpid, in reference to the four 

 carpid - like prominences on the fruit; these apparent cocci are sim-
