SEPT. 19, 1923 STANDLEY: NEW TREES FROM SALVADOR Bon 
SaLvapor: Puerta de la Laguna, Standley 23656; April 27, 1922, Calderén 
680 (both these collections are from the type tree). Department of Ahua- 
chapan, Padilla 195. 
Dr. Padilla gives the vernacular name as ‘‘nevado.”’ 
Until very recently, only a single species of Ledenbergia was known, L. 
seguieriodes Klotzsch of Venezuela. During the present year there has been 
published a second species, L. peruviana O. ©. Schmidt, of Peru. The 
Salvadorean tree differs from the South American ones in having flowers twice 
as large as theirs. 
Hyperbaena phanerophlebia Standl., sp. nov. 
Tree, 4.5 to 7.5 m. high, with dense crown, glabrous throughout; petioles 
rather slender, 1 to 2.5 em. long; leaf blades narrowly oblong or oblong- 
lanceolate, 9 to 21 cm. long, 3 to 7 em. wide, narrowed to an obtuse apex, 
obtuse or acute at base, thick and coriaceous, lustrous, triplinerved from 
near the base, the costa salient on both surfaces, the lateral nerves scarcely 
elevated above but conspicuous beneath, about 5 pairs, arcuately and irregu- 
larly ascending, the lower surface slightly paler than the upper and finely 
reticulate; fruit subglobose, orange-yellow, about 2.5 em. in diameter. 
Type in the U.S. National Herbarium, no. 1,138,730, collected in a coffee 
plantation in the hills south of Santa Tecla, Salvador, altitude about 900 
meters, April 10, 1922, by Paul C. Standley (no. 23025). Also collected in 
moist forest near Santa Tecla upon the same date, Standley 23014. 
This is not closely related to any of the species of Hyperbaena previously 
reported from Central America. 
Rollinia rensoniana Standl., sp. nov. 
Tree, about 6 m. high, the young branchlets thinly villous-tomentose; 
petioles 6 to 12 mm. long; leaf blades elliptic-oblong, 12 to 23 cm. long, 5 to 8 
cm. wide, acute to long-acuminate, rounded or obtuse at base, thin, above 
tomentulose when young but in age glabrate, beneath densely tomentose at 
first with brownish and whitish hairs, in age soft-pilose with short spreading 
hairs, the lateral nerves 15 to 21 pairs, prominent beneath; flowers solitary or 
geminate, densely covered with a brownish feltlike tomentum, the pedicels 
1 to 2 cm. long, becoming much longer after anthesis; sepals broadly rounded- 
ovate, abruptly short-acuminate; corolla lobes laterally compressed, obovate- 
oval, 10 to 13 mm. long, 7 to 9 mm. wide, broadened toward the apex and 
rounded, divaricate or slightly ascending; very immature fruit tomentose, 
subglobose, composed of numerous carpels with rounded tips. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 1,138,729, collected along road- 
side at Santa Tecla, Salvador, altitude about 900 meters, April 10, 1922, by 
Paul C. Standley (no. 23033). The following additional specimens have been 
examined: 
Satvapor: Ateos, Standley 23045. Izalco, Standley 21866; Pittier 1964. 
Rollinia rensoniana seems to be rather common in the uplands of central 
and western Salvador, but I was not able to learn anything of its fruit or of 
the vernacular names applied to it. Only two other species have been 
reported from Central America, P. jimenezii and R. pittiert, both described by 
Dr. W. E. Safford. Neither of those species has the abundant spread- 
ing pubescence that characterizes the Salvadorean tree.
