New SPECIES or SOUTH AMERICAN PLANTS 25 
- Brunellia boliviana. 
Brunellia boliviana Britton ex Rusby, Mem. Torr. Bot. Club, 
3 (1893), 13 is a homonym for B. Oliverii Britton, Bull. Torr. 
Bot. Club 16 (1889): 160. At the time that I wrote the de- 
scription for the new species, I inadvertently took up the wrong 
herbarium sheet, namely Mr. Bangs No. 664, instead of Rusby’s 
2577, which has thus gone undescribed. I therefore now name 
and describe the latter as follows. 
Veins on the lower leaf-surfaces, calyx, etc. minutely puberu- 
lent; branchlets elongated, very stout, coarsely angled, purplish, . 
. long, 4.5 to 6 cm. 
broad, oblong, inaequilateral and somewhat falcate, lightly cor- 
s 
8 cm. long, very stout and coarsely and sharply angled; panicle 
about 2 dm. long, nearly as wide, very loose and open, the stout 
peduncle sharply 4-angled. Flowers sessile, only the staminate 
seen. Sepals 6 mm. long and 3 wide, ovate, obtuse, thick and 
fleshy. Filaments very slender, much exceeding the sepals, the 
anthers large, stout, obtuse, versatile.

Species very near B. boliviana, Britton, and distributed 
under that name. 
Weinmannia lyrata. 
Branchlets, etc., tomentose, the branchlets numerous, short, 
angled, swollen at the nodes, the 
caducous, not seen. Leaves 3 or 4 cm. long, including the short, 
ard and wit 
Lower leaflets smaller, 6 to 9 mm. long, oval, obtuse, obtusely 
serrate, the terminal 1.5 to 2.5 cm. long, ovate, serrate like the 
lateral and somewhat incisely lobed or pinnatifid. Leaves 
impressed above, prominent beneath. Racemes crowded at 
the ends of the branchlets, 2 to 4 cm. long, slender, loosely 
flowered, the branchlets 1 to 3 flowered, the bracts minute, the
