branchlets somewhat fuscous, glandular-puberulent : leaves ovate to 

 rhombic-ovate, 9 to 13 cm. long, 5 to 9 cm. broad, caudate-acuminate, 

 acute, subentire, 2-4-glandular-toothed at the rounded to cordate base, 

 dark green above, paler beneath, slightly glandular-puberulent on the 

 veins and bearing small patches of white stellate hairs at the junction 

 of midrib and lateral nerves beneath, otherwise glabrous ; petioles 8 to 

 12 mm. long, fuscous, canaliculate above, glandular-puberulent: inflores- 

 cence terminating the stem in a glandular-puberulent compound umbel, 

 about 8 cm. in diameter ; peduncle about 4 cm. long ; rays of the umbel 

 usually 7, from 1.5 to 2.2 cm. long: flowers many: tube of the calyx 

 linear, 3 mm. long, compressed, densely glandular-puberulent; calyx- 

 teeth obtusish, ciliolate : corolla rotate-campanulate, 6 to 7 mm. in diam- 

 eter, white, 5-lobed to the middle ; lobes ovate-rotund, reflexed : mature 

 fruit not seen. — Mexico. State of Hidalgo : barranca below Trinidad

This species is related evidently to V. sulcatum, Hemsl., but differs in 

 having essentially terete instead of angulate-sulcate branches, caudate- 

 acuminate larger leaves with a distinctly acute apex, and in not being in 

 the least tomentose on the peduncle or under leaf-surface. 



Viburnum ciliatum, n. sp. Shrub : stem and branches subterete, 

 covered with a grayish or somewhat purplish cortex, glabrous ; branch- 

 lets sulcate-angled, at first pubescent but soon glabrate : leaves broadly 

 ovate, 4 to 7.5 cm. long, 3 to 5 cm. broad, somewhat acuminate, acute, 

 sinuate-dentate, conspicuously ciliate, rounded to shallowly cordate at 

 the base, dark green and except for a few scattered hairs near the mar- 

 gin glabrous above, sparingly hirsute intermixed with a few minute glan- 

 dular hairs on the veins beneath, sometimes with small patches of stel- 

 late tomentum at the junction of midrib and lateral nerves, otherwise 

 glabrous ; petioles short, 5 mm. or less in length, pubescent with a few 

 scattered hirsute hairs : inflorescence a terminal slightly glandular-puber- 

 ulent compound umbel, 3 to 6 cm. in diameter ; peduncles 1 to 2.3 cm. 

 long; rays of the umbel usually 5, from 5 to 14 mm. long: flowers 

 numerous : calyx-tube elongate-turbinate, about 2 mm. long, glabrous ; 

 calyx-teeth obtuse : corolla rotate-campanulate, 6 to 7 mm. in diameter, 

 white, 5-lobed to the middle ; lobes subrotund, spreading : fruit not seen.
