37. Lasianthus perrugineus, King & Gamble, n. sp. A bush; 

 young branches about half as thick as a goose-quill, rusty-lanate like the 

 outside of the stipules, the petioles and both sides of the leaf-midribs. 

 Leaves dai-k-brovrn when dry, thinly coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, much 

 acuminate, the base rounded or sub-cuneate ; upper surface reticulate, 

 sparsely covered with stiff flexuose hairs with conspicuous black bulbs 

 at their bases, shining, the nerves thin but distinct; lower surface more 

 densely hairy (the hairs with smaller bulbs), especially dense on the 

 16 to 18 pairs of bold curved spreading main-nerves ; length 5 or 6 

 in.; breadth 1"25 to 1"5 in.; petioles 'IS to "2 in.; stipules triangular, 

 sub-acute, longer than the petioles, deciduous. Cymes small, not so long 

 as the petioles, few-flowered, ebracteate. Floivers on short hirsute pedi- 

 cels. Calyx "25 in. long, tubular-campanulate, densely hirsute like the 

 corolla, deeply divided into 5 lanceolate acuminate sub-equal lobes. 

 Corolla like the calyx but only half as long, white. Disk smooth, glab- 

 rous, orbicular. Style short, glabrous. Fruit unknown.

 inside but with a band of stout hairs at the throat; lobes of the limb 

 ovate, sub-acute, sub-erect, sparsely hii'sute. Anthers 5, ovate-oblong, on 

 short filaments, curving inward, and cohering by their margins and
