in habit. A consideration of the relationship of U.spec- 
tabilis and U. Watsonw will be deferred until after the 
description of U. Watsoniu. 
Uroskinnera Watsonii PR. EL. Schultes sp. nov. 
Frutex. Folia elliptico-lanceolata, serrata, basi cune- 
ata, chartacea, supra densissime hispidulosa, infra dense

centia racemosa, densissima, brevis. Pedicelli brevissimi, 
densissime villoso-hirsuti. Calyx quattuor-dentatus, ac-

em. longa, quinquelobata, lobis rotundatis, extus glabris, 
intus glanduloso-lepidotis. Stamina quattuor, glabra; 
staminodium lineari-clavatum, glanduloso-lepidotum, 
quam stamina brevius. Stylus elongatus; stigma profunde

Shrub about 8 feet tall. Young branches densely seri- 
ceous, in age glabrescent, grey-brown. Leaves elliptic-
