1. DiosPYBos Wrayi, King & Gamble, n. sp. A shrub 4 to 12 feet 

 high ; young branches as thick as a crow-quill, cinereous- or rusty- 

 puberulous. Leaves small, alternate, membranous ; ovate-lanceolate to 

 narrowly elliptic, shortly acuminate, the base cuneate ; both surfaces 

 dark olivaceous ; the upper very shining and minutely reticulate, glabrous 

 except the puberulous depressed midrib ; the lower more brown and 

 dull, the midrib pubescent and prominent, the reticulations less distinct ; 

 length 2 to 4 in., breadth -75 to 1-5 in.; petioles -05 to -1 in. Male 

 flowers -25 in. long, 2 to 4 together in small axillary cymes, black when 

 dry, puberulous, pedicels very short. Calyx less than -1 in. long, narrowly 

 campanulate with 4 deep ovate lobes. Corolla three times as long as 

 the calyx, salver-shaped, sub-glabrous; limb with 4 oblong lobes. 

 Stamens 16, united in pairs by the bases of the unequal filaments, broadly 

 lanceolate, inserted near the base of the tube. Female flowers like the ^ 

 but longer — especially the calyx. Staminodes about 8, lanceolate. Ovary 

 glabrescent, ovoid-conic, tapering into a rather long style ; stigmas 4, 

 fleshy, short. Fruit globular, crowned by the short style, glabrous, 

 shining, black when ripe (when dry) ; calyx at its base -75 in. across, 

 coriaceous, deeply divided into 4 oblong blunt or sub-acute reflexed 

 lobes.

2. DiosPYRGS suB-RHOMBOiDEA, King & Gamble, n. sp. A shrub 

 4 to 6 feet high; young branches thinner than a crow-quill, softly 

 tawny-pubescent, pale brown when dry. Leaves small, alternate ; 

 lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate or sub-rhomboidal, bluntly acuminate, 

 the base cuneate ; both surfaces olivaceous-brown when dry, the 

 upper dark, glabrous except the puberulous midrib, the lower 

 sparsely adpressed pubescent especially on the bold midrib ; main-
