SAGERETIA Brongn. 



Sageretia perpusilla Schneider, n. sp. 



Frutex spinosus 0.75 m. altus; ramuli oppositi, juveniles vetus- 

 tioresque tenuiter cano-tomentelli, rotundi, cinerascentes. Folia 

 perparva, opposita v. subopposita ovata v. ovato-elliptica, basi in- 

 aequalia, rotunda v. fere subcordata, apice rotunda v. obtusa, 5-8 

 mm. longa, 3-4.5 mm. lata, glabra, tantum initio utrinque sparse 

 pilosa, utraque facie tenuiter reticulata, nervis lateralibus 3-4 vix 

 distinctis prominentibus, subtus vix pallidiora, margine crenato- 

 serrulata dentibus utrinque circiter 8-12 apice callosis; petioli 1-2 

 mm. longi, pilosiusculi, stipulis setaceis sublongioribus basi ornati. 

 Inflorescentia ut videtur apice ramulorum pseudospicam infra saepe 

 paniculatam terminalem formans, tomentella, ad 4 cm. longa; 

 flores verisimiliter pro genere normales, sessiles, subglabri. Fructus 

 circiter 4 mm. diam., nigro-ruber(?); semina flavida.

 May 24, 1908 (No. 3340; bush 0.75 m. tall). 



This is a rather scanty specimen with a few old flowers and fruits. The leaves 

 are apparently young, but they are much smaller than even those of the follow- 

 ing species, to which S. perpusilla may be most closely related, if it does not repre- 

 sent a mere form of it.

 V. minima subrotunda, tantum 5 mm. longa et 4 mm. lata, supra 

 viridia, satis laevia, subtus in sicco flavo-viridia, distinctius reticu-
