vel omnibus imbricatis, interioribus 6-8 mm. longis, 
oblongo-orbicularibus; petalis 16-18 mm. longis, 8-10 
mm. latis, sine unguiculis; staminibus numerosis, fila- 
mentis liberis, 83-5 mm. longis, ca. 0.5 mm. crassis, basi 
tangentialiter lata, antheris linearibus, muticis vel minute 
apiculatis 8-4 mm. longis, connectivo lato, thecis later- 
alibus longitudinalibus dehiscentibus; stigmatibus 5, 
ovatis, acutis, sessilibus, conniventis, pyramidalibus ; 
fructu 2 cm. longo, valvis 5, explanatis, 2.2 cm. longis. 
Clusia Schultesti is obviously most closely related to 
the Peruvian C. pseudo-mangle Planchon & Triana (du- 
plicate type in Herb. N.Y. Bot. Gard.), which has larger 
and more strongly veined leaves that are not varnished ; 
a smaller inflorescence 6 cm. long; and stamens 3 mm. 
long. 
Clusia Schultesi is certainly one of the most striking 
species in the genus and apparently is the dominant one 
on Cerro Chiribiquete. 
Cotomsia: Comisaria del Vaupés, Cerro Chiribiquete, Rio Macaya, 
Upper Apaporis Basin. “*‘Large shrub 12 feet high; flowers white, very 
fragrant, frequented by many species of insects; xerophytic savanna; 
on sandstone, 400-1200 feet above forest level, 1300-2100 feet above 
sea level. July 24, 1943, R.E.Schultes 5621 (Tyrer in Herb. N.Y.

white.’? May 15-16, 1943, R.E.Schultes 5475 (Corypr in Herb. N.Y.

Clusia spathulaefolia Hngler in F 1. Bras. 12, pt.

This species apparently has been known only from the 
type. Our specimen is a pistillate collection and com- 
pares favorably with the description and a photograph 
of the type specimen at the Vienna Herbarium. The es- 
sentially mature fruit of Schultes 5847 is globose, 12-14 
mm. long, six-celled, with the six minute stigmas 1
