The leaves in this species are 4—44 inches long, 23-3 inches 
broad, on a petiole 1? inch long. No stipules » can be disco- 
vered in any of the specimens I have seen, although DeCan- 
dolle states their presence, perhaps under a mistake : they are 
not mentioned by Ruiz & Pavon. 
4. Vallea glabra, n. sp.;—ramulis teretibus, glabris; foliis 
imo truncatis (non cordatis), ovatis vel obovatis, subpandu- 
reformibus, apice obtusule ac breviter attenuatis, integris, 
3-nervils, supra pallide viridibus, nitentibus, reticulatis, 
subtus pallidissime flavo-glaucis, glabris (nisi axillis nervo- 
rum que barbate sunt), nervis venisque nudis, stramineis ; 
petiolo tenuissimo, glaberrimo, i imo apiceque paululum in- 
crassato, limbo dimidio breviore; manifeste exstipulatis : 
paniculis glaberrimis, terminalibus, bis dichotome divisis, 
cum flore in dichotomiis, pedicellis apice incrassatis ; sepalis 
glabris, marginibus intus lanatis; stigmate 3- fido.—In 
Peruvia: v.s. in herb. meo, Prov. Chachapoyas (Mathews). 
This is a distinct species, hitherto undescribed, ane oaching 
the last in the want of stipules. Its leaves are 23-3 inches 
long, 13-13 inch broad, on a petiole 14-13 inch long. The 
terminal panicle is 14 inch long, pedicels 2-24 lines long; 
sepals 2 lines long ; stioma 3-fid. 
* This species, with ample details, will be figured in the forthcoming 
volume of my ‘ Contributions,’ pl. 81.
