 mala, alt. 128 m., January 11, L905, C. C. /><<////, no. 231 (type, in hb. 

 Gray). This .species belongs to the £ //<nts< /mlm of Meisner, and 

 c^ Pseudoruprechtia of Bentham ami Hooker, the e authors dividing 

 the genua on different characters. It is nearly related to R. Cumingii 

 Meian., known to the author only from Meisner'a descripl ion DC. Trod, 

 xiv, 17'J). If the characters there given are correct, the plant here 

 characterized is certainly distinct, as is shown by its larger Leaves, 

 longer calyx, the presence of pubescence on the lower surface of the 

 leaves, decidedly rugose branches, spreading or deilexed racemes, etc.
