308 Mr. J. Miers on the Ehretiace^. 



5-7-plo breviore : panicula terminali, dichotome ramosa, 

 cinereo-tomentosa, folio panlo breviore, bracteis minutis, 

 valde deciduis ; ealjce 5-deutato, cano-sericeo ; corollEe tubo 

 caljce dimidio longiore ; staminibus paulo supra medium 

 tubi iusertis, exsertis ; stylo pro tertia parte bifido ; drupa 

 globosa, calyce stellato suftulta, cerasi mole, pp'enis 4 ge- 

 neris. — In Antillis : v. s. in herb. Hook., Jamaica, Albion 

 Pen (Dr. Alex. Prior) ; Cuba (Wright, 3120, in flore) ; ibid. 

 (Wright, 3124 a, in fructu). 



Dr. Grisebach has referred the first -mentioned specimen to 

 Bonrreria Domi'jigensis, the second to B. tomentosa, and the 

 third to B. calojjhi/Ua, all "u^hich species differ extremely from 

 the species under consideration, which is "well marked bj the 

 characters above given. The leaves in the Jamaica specimen 

 are a little broader and more rounded at the apex ; but they 

 are all in like manner much cuneated at the base. The drupe 

 is smaller than in Crematomia cahphyUa ; but its achenia 

 prove that it belongs to the same genus, and not to Boiwreria, 

 certainly not to either of the above-mentioned species. Its 

 leaves are 2^-4 inches long, l^-2f inches broad, on a petiole 

 4-7 lines long. 



10. Crematomia elongata, nob.; — ramulis compresso-teretibus, 

 subnitidis, junioribus subtomentosis ; foliis lanceolato-ob- 

 longis, apice sensim obtuse angustatis, imo cuneatis aut 

 obtusiuscule attenuatis, supra e tuberculis parvis demum 

 albidis adpresse scabrido-pilosis, nervis tenuibus immersis, 

 subtus pallidioribus, glauco- vel ferrugineo-tomentellis, 

 nervis paulo prominentibus, marginibus revolutis ; petiolo 

 tenui, canaliculate, recto, puberulo, limbo 6-plo breviore : 

 panicula terminali, dichotome ramosa, cinereo-tomentosa, 

 folio vix longiore ; calyce 5-dentato, velutine puberalo, 

 dentibus intus sericeis ; corollaj tubo calyce paulo longiore, 

 lobis suborbiculatis, imo cordato-auriculatis ; staminibus 

 medio tubi insertis, antheris oscillatoriis, exsertis ; stylo pro 

 tertia parte bifido, stigmatibus peltato-clavatis. — In Antillis : 

 V. s. in herb. Hook., Jamaica (Bancroft); ibid. (Macfadyen). 



A species distinguishable by its very elongated leaves, which 

 are 3--4| inches long, 1^-1 1 inch broad, on a petiole 6-9 lines 

 long. 



11. Crematomia formosa, nob. ; — Ehretia formosa, DC. Prodr. 

 ix. 510 ; — ramulis teretibus, striatis, glabris, axillis approxi- 

 matis ; foliis divaricatis, ellipticis, apice subacutis, imo acu- 

 tiuscule vel obtuse attenuatis, submembranaceis, supra 

 opacis, subnitidis, glabris vel in nervis tenuibus immersis
