308 Mr. J. Miera on the Ehretiacese. 



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

 cinereo-tomentosa, folio paulo breviore, bracteis minutis, 

 valde deciduis ; calyce 5-dentato, cano-sericeo ; corollae tubo 

 calyce dimidio longiore ; staminibus paulo supra medium 

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

 globosa, calyce stellato suffulta, cerasi mole, pyrenis 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 

 Bourreria Domingensis, the second to B. tomentosa, and the 

 third to B. calophylla, all which species differ extremely from 

 the species under consideration, which is well marked by 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 calophylla ; but its achenia 

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

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

 leaves are 2^-4 inches long, lj-2| 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 demun 

 albidis adpresse scabrido-pilosis, nervis tenuibus immersis 

 subtus pallidioribus, glauco- vel ferrugineo-tomentellis 

 nervis paulo prominentibus, marginibus revolutis ; petiolo 

 tenui, canaliculato, recto, puberulo, limbo 6-plo breviore 

 panicula terminali, dichotome ramosa, cinereo-tomentosa 

 folio vix longiore ; calyce 5-dentato, velutine puberulo 

 dentibus intus sericeis ; corollas 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, l^-lf 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
