Stamina circiter vigintiquinque, 2.6 mm. longa, filamen- 
tis liberis, erectis, plerumque 0.8 mm. longis, et antheris

Mayna glomerata is easily distinguished from the 
other species of this genus by its unusual inflorescences 
which are in small, closely packed, glomerate fascicles. 
There are other notable differences, as well, such as the 
curious folding of the upper third of the petals, the shape 
of the petals, and the number of the stamens.

Mayna longifolia is extremely abundant in the forests 
of the southern half of the trapecio in areas above flood- 
level. The collection Llewelyn Williams 2711 from La 
Victoria (now ‘‘Granja Caldas’’) near Leticia, cited as 
from Peru in Macbride’s ‘‘ Flora of Peru’’ (Field Mus. 
Publ. Bot. 18, pt. 4, (1941) 18), but actually from Co- 
lombian territory, is referable to Mayna longifolia.
