15 mm. lata, depresso-globosa; stigmatibus 5, triangulo-

Clusia botryoidea seems to resemble most closely C. 
multiflora Humboldt, Bonpland & Kunth, but it differs 
conspicuously in having oblanceolate (rather than obo- 
vate) leaves; six (rather than four) sepals; and stigmas 
sessile on the summit of the ovary (rather than elevated 
on conspicuous, stout styles).
