the blades 12 cm. long or less, nearly twice as Jong as wide; 
petioles rather stout, one half to two thirds as long as the blades; 
peduncle much longer than the leaves, pendulous, 2 dm. long or 
less, bracted and jointed a little below the middle; umbel many- 
flowered; pedicels slender, 15-18 mm. long; flowering calyx 
broadly turbinate, 3.5 mm. broad; petals oblong-lanceolate, about 
as long as the calyx. 
Cockpit Country, Jamaica, Harris 9188, from Lapland, near 
Catadupa; this specimen agrees with the type specimen of Hedera 
nutans Sw., in the herbarium of the British Museum of Natural 
History. The species is also recorded by Marchand from Catha- 
rine’s Peak, collected by Eggers, 3651, which I have not seen. 
8. Dendropanax grandiflorum sp. nov. 
A tree, about 8 m. high. Leaves chartaceous, obovate, 5~10 
cm. long, 5 cm. wide or less, bluntly pointed at the apex, cuneate- 
narrowed at the base, rather strongly pinnately veined, the margins 
slightly revolute, the stout petioles about I cm. long or less; 
inflorescence of simple, terminal, few-flowered umbels, or rarely 
a secondary umbel borne halfway up on the peduncle; peduncle 
rather stout, 3-5 cm. long, bracted and jointed just above the 
base; flowers 8 or fewer in the umbels; pedicels rather stout, 
nearly erect, 1.5-2 cm. long; flowering calyx 8 mm. high, narrowly 
campanulate, its mouth 6-7 mm. broad; corolla 5 mm. long just 
before expanding, the bud rounded; anthers in the unopen bud 
about as long as the filaments; fruit oblong, I cm. long, 7 mm. 
thick, the persistent style 6-7 mm. long. 
Peckham woods, Upper Clarendon, Jamaica, July 7, 1911, 
Harris 10994. . 
9g. Dendropanax elongatum sp. nov. 
A slender tree about 8 m. high. Leaves clustered at the ends 
of the branches, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, coriaceous, faintly - 
pinnately veined, acute at the apex, narrowed or somewhat rounded 
at the base, the blade 15 cm. long or less; the petiole one sixth 
to one third as long as the blade; peduncle shorter than the 
larger leaves, 8-12 cm. long, bracted somewhat below the middle, 
the bracts triangular-ovate, apparently nearly erect; very young 
inflorescence depressed-hemispheric, 8 mm. broad; the flower buds 
sessile or nearly so. 
Peckham woods, Upper Clarendon, Jamaica, at 800 to 900 
meters elevation, January 3, 1910, Harris 10874.
