pressed, yellow-glandular, and the younger parts densely stellate- 

 plumose pubescent. Leaves oblong to oblong-ovate, subcoria- 

 ceouB, entire, 12 to 16 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, about equally 

 narrowed to the acute base and to the acuminate apex, the 

 upper surface when young more or less stellate-pubescent, be- 

 coming nearly glabrous, brownish-olivaceous, slightly shining, 

 the lower surface paler, with numerous, scattered, pale-yellow, 

 shining glands, densely stellate-pubescent on the midrib and 

 nerves, with scattered stellate hairs on the lamina ; lateral nerves 

 about 9 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower 

 surface, anastomosing, cun^ed upward; petioles very densely 

 stellate-pubescent, 2 to 2.5 cm long. Cymes in the upper axils, 

 solitary, densely many-flowered, dichotomously branched, 7 to 8 

 cm in diameter, the peduncles stout, about 8 cm long, the pe- 

 duncles, branches, bracts, bracteoles, and calyces densely stellate- 

 plumose pubescent, the indumentum almost obscuring the 

 scattered, shining, pale-yellow glands. Flowers white, 6 to 7 mm 

 long, the bracts oblanceolate to spatulate, 6 to 8 mm long, the 

 bracteoles similar but much smaller. Calyx somewhat funnel- 

 shaped, equally 4-lobed, 3 mm long, the lobes short, acute. Co- 

 rolla 6 to 7 mm long, outside sparingly supplied with small, 

 yellow, shining glands, the lobes 4, subequal, oblong-ovate, 

 broadly rounded, 3 to 3.5 mm long, externally in the median 

 portion sparingly stellate-pubescent as well as glandular. Fila- 

 ments 7 and 8 mm long; anthers ovoid, 1.2 mm long, somewhat 

 glandular on the back. Ovary ovoid, very densely covered with 

 small, shining, pale-yellow glands.

Probably most closely allied to Callicarpa subglandulosa Elm., but 

 differing from that species in many characters. Callicarpa megalantha 

 is remarkable for its comparatively large flowers which are indicated by 

 the collector as being white, a color otherwise unknown or at least very 

 rare in the genus, its long-peduncled cymes, and its dark-brown or dark 

 grayish-brown indumentum.

A suffrutescent, erect, sparingly branched plant 2 m high or 

 less, very similar in appearance to Clerodentron intermedium 

 Cham. Older stems glabrous or nearly so, 4-angled, the younger 

 ones distinctly puberulent. Leaves broadly ovate, chartaceous, 

 10 to 20 cm long, to 17 cm wide, acuminate, base with a
