ellipticis, utrinque sensim subacutis, apice ssepe obtusioribus, 

 supra opacisy e tuberculis minutis scabride pilosulis, nervis 

 tenuissimis immersis, obscure reticulatis, subtus pallidiori- 

 buSj tomentellis, in costa nervisque vix prominulis cano- 

 pubescentibus ; petiolo tenui, superne sulcatulo, cano-tomen- 

 toso, limbo 8-plo breviore : panicula terminali, corymbosa, 

 folio breviore, tomentosa, dicliotome ramosa, pauciflora, 

 ramulis bracteis parvis sublanceolatis donatis ; calyce fere 

 sessili, 5-dentato, submembranaceo, extus cano-sericeo, intus 

 puberulo ; corollse tubo subinfundibuliformi, calyce paulo 

 longiore, lobis ovalibus, imo breviter auriculatis, tubo paulo 

 brevioribus, patentibus ; iilamentis imo pilosiusculis, medio 

 tubi insertis ; antlieris mucronatis, imo cordatis, longe ex- 

 sertis ; stylo ad tertiam partem bifido. — In Antillis : v. s. in 

 herh. Hook.^ Jamaica (Macnab) ; ibid. (Macfadyen). 



A species differing from C. velutina in its larger, more fusi- 

 form leaves whicli are minutely scabridulo-pilose above, in 

 the longer tube of its corolla, in the insertion of the filaments, 

 and mucrouate anthers. The axils are 3-4 lines apart ; the 

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

 4—7 lines long ; the panicle is 1|— 2 inches long ; the calyx is 

 2^ lines long, with rather long acute teeth ; the tube of the 

 corolla 3 lines, its lobes 2| lines long.

 ix. 508 ; — ramulis teretibus, substriatis, cinereo-tomentosis ; 

 foliis ovato-oblongis, obtusis, submucronulatis, imo sub- 

 acutis, ssepe canaliculatim recurvis, supra opacis, velutino- 

 pilosulis, in costa nervisque cano-pilosis, subtus paulo pal- 

 lidioribus, cinereo-tomentosis ; petiolo tenui, cano-tomentoso, 

 limbo 7-plo breviore : panicula corymbosa, terminali, brevi, 

 pauciflora, tomentosa ; calyce submembranaceo, cano-pubes- 

 cente, 5-dentato, dentibus submucronatis, intus velutinis ; 

 corollas tubo calyce paulo longiore, infra medium ad inser- 

 tionem staminum pilosulo, lobis subrotundis, imo auriculato- 

 cordatis ; filamentis imo pubescentibus ; antlieris coriaceis, 

 rugosis, basi divergentibus, exsertis ; stylo fere ad medium 

 bifido. — In Antillis : v. s. in herh. Ilook.j Jamaica, Port

Its leaves are H-l| inch long, 9-10 lines broad, on a 

 petiole 2^-3 lines long : the panicle is 2 inches long ; the 

 calyx is 3 lines long, the tube of the corolla 4 lines, the lobes 

 .3 lines long ; the very immature drupe is 3 lines in diameter.
