DISTRIBUTION: Santo Domingo (according to Engler); Porto 
Rico, at low elevations in dry districts; Culebra; St. Thomas; 
St. Croix; Montserrat; Antigua; Guadeloupe; Mustique Island, 
Grenadines.

13. THE GENUS VIBURNUM IN JAMAICA 
1. VIBURNUM VILLOSUM Sw. Prodr. 54. 1788 
Hillsides and woodlands in moist and wet districts, at middle 
and higher altitudes, ascending to 2300 meters in the Blue Moun- 
tains. 
The species apparently consists of numerous races, differing 
in the amount of stellate pubescence, in the shape of the fruit, 
and in the length of the stamens. Very densely tomentose bushes 
grow in proximity to slightly pubescent ones about Cinchona. 
2. Viburnum arboreum sp. nov. 
A tree, 15 m. high, with a straight trunk and spreading 
branches. Leaves chartaceous, entire, oval-elliptic, dull green, 
glabrous or sparingly stellate-pubescent above, loosely stellate- 
pubescent beneath, 8-12 cm. long, 5—6.5 cm. wide, short-acumin- 
ate at the apex, unequally narrowed or obtuse at the base, the 
veins about 6 on each side of the midvein, the stout petioles stel- 
late-pubescent, 1-2 cm. long, inflorescence stellate-pubescent, 
8-12 cm. broad; fruiting pedicels 3 mm. long or less; fruit oblong, 
9-10 mm. long and 3 mm. thick when dry, narrowed at both ends, 
crowned by the ovate acute ciliate calyx-lobes and tipped by 
the base of the style. 
Wooded rocky hill, Tyre, Cockpit Country (Britton, Sept. 
13-18, 1906, no. 553, type; Harris 9475). Harris 9403 from the 
same region, a shrub with white flowers, is probably this species.
