Chiococca pinetorum Britton sp. nov. 



A vine, creeping or low-climbing sometimes 1.5 m. long, usually 

 shorter. Branches short ; leaves ovate, lanceolate or elliptic, small, 

 2 4. 5 cm. wide, varying from acute to obtuse at the apex, narrowed 

 at the base, coriaceous, dark green and shining above, paler and dull 

 beneath, the midvein impressed on the under side, the lateral veins few 

 and obscure, the petiole slender, 2-3 mm. long ; racemes few-flowered, 

 shorter than the leaves or about equalling them ; pedicels about as long 

 as the calyx, or sometimes a little longer ; calyx campanulate 2 mm. 

 long ; corolla funnel-form-campanulate, about 5 mm. long, white or 

 cream color, veined with purple ; berry white, somewhat compressed, 

 4-6 mm. in diameter. 



Differs from C. parvifolia Wullsch. by its smaller darker green 

 leaves, smaller pale corolla and less compressed berries. C. pinetorum 

 occurs only, so far as known, on islands inhabited by Pinus bahamensis 

 Griseb., and in association with it.
