 appears to be perfectly distinct from the capsicum minus,

 '"^"Psychotria "^ lanceolataj stipulis amplcxicaulibus subro- 

 tundis deciduis ; foiiis lanceolatis utrinque acuminatis, sub- 

 tus pubescenlibus ; pedunculis trichotomis paucifloris* 



Observations. — Stem shrubby ; the younger brancheSj 

 and under side of the leaves, more parlicuhirly when young, 

 as well as the peduncles, clothed with a ferruginous pubes- 

 cent e. Leaves opposite, two to three inches long, and about 

 an inch wide, prominently and somewhat verticulately vein- 

 ed. Stipules sphacelous, brownish, and deciduous. Flow- 

 ers not seen. Peduncles mostly terminal, one to two inches 

 long, trichotomal and few flowered- Berries red, ovate ; 



nuts two, externally convex and grooved. One of the spe- 

 cimens is perfectly smooth and produces smaller leaves, but 

 in other respects appears the same.

 leaves are sometimes apparently oblong-lanceolate. The 

 petals are oblong and spotted or blotched,
