GLYPTOPETALUM LOHERI sp. nov. 



Frutex vel arbor glabra; foliis subcoriaceis, ellipticis ad ellip- 

 tico-ovatis, integris, breviter petiolatis, usque ad 10 cm longis, in 

 siccitate pallidis, acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque 5 vel

 brevibus, paucifloris ; f ructibus globosis, 6 ad 10 mm diametro, 1-

A glabrous shrub or small tree, the branches terete, reddish-

 equal in size, opposite, subcoriaceous, pale when dry, elliptic to 

 ovate-elliptic, 6 to 10 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, subequally nar- 

 rowed to the acute base and to the sharply acuminate apex, shin- 

 ing, entire; lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each side of the midrib, 

 slender, obscure, the reticulations nearly obsolete ; petioles 3 to 4 

 mm long. Cymes axillary, short, the peduncles 1 cm long or less, 

 unbranched or with two very short branchlets. Flowers ap- 

 parently sessile, crowded, few. Fruits globose, 6 to 10 mm in 

 diameter, not sulcate, 1- to 4-celled, 1- to 4-seeded, the pericarp 

 pale when dry, thickly coriaceous; seeds brown, about 7 mm 

 long, the apical one-third surrounded by a thin, membranaceous, 

 brittle, brown aril. Persistent sepals coriaceous, reniform, 4,
