11. RADDIA PACHYPHYLLA, nob.: ramulis subteretibus, cortice rimoso cinereo vestitis, 
axillis nodosis, valde approximatis, plerumque alternis: foliis obovatis, imo obtuse 
cuneatis, apice rotundatis, leviter late emarginatis, integerrimis, subconvexis, crasse 
coriaceis, marginibus crassis valde cartilagineis paulo revolutis, pallide concoloribus, 
utrinque opacis, ad nervos omnino immersos costamque tenuiter sulcatulis, aveniis, 
utrinque obsolete impresso-rugulosis, subtus paulo pallidioribus, sub lente minute 
granuloso-punctulatis; petiolo valido, fusco, canaliculato, undique corrugulato, 
limbo 8-10-plo breviore: pedunculo axillari, brevissimo, gemmeeformi, squamoso, 
flores plurimos pedicellatos fasciculatos in capitulum subaggregatos gerente, pedi- 
cellis brevissimis; sepalis subrotundatis, submembranaceis, pectinato-ciliatis ; petalis 
3-4-plo longioribus, oblongis, submembranaceis, marginibus subintegris aut obsolete 
erosulis, rotatis: cæteris preecedentium. In Guiana Britannica: v.s. in herb. Hook. 
(Appun. 1881; Schomb. 348). 
This species approaches the preceding, but is very different: the nodose axils of its 
branches are mostly alternate, and 3-6 lines apart; the leaves are 1-2 in. long, 2-1 in. 
broad, on a petiole 13-23 lines long; the peduncle is 1 line long, the pedicels barely 
1 line long, the flower expanded 4 lines in diameter. 
12, RADDIA CALYPSOIDES, nob.: Salacia calypsoides, Camb. Fl. Bras. Mer. ii. 107: fru- 
ticosa, caule gracili, debiliz ramis teretibus, glabris, junioribus angulosis, crebre 
verruculosis : foliis ellipticis vel obovato-ellipticis, imo acutiusculis, apice breviter 
acuminatis, subintegris vel obsolete sinuato-dentatis, marginibus revolutis, coriaceis, 
supra atroviridibus, obsolete puberulis, subtus pallidioribus, nervis venisque reticu- 
latis prominulis: petiolo tereti, canaliculato, limbo 12-plo breviore: inflorescentia 
axillari, depressa, pedicellis plurimis e pedunculo brevissimo enatis et fere fascicu- 
latis; bracteolis minimis, subulatis, subpuberulis; floribus brevissime pedicellatis ; 
sepalis obtuse ovatis, glabris; petalis duplo longioribus, patentibus, rotundato- 
ellipticis, integris, glabris, viridiusculis; disco cupuliformi; stylo brevi, trigono, 
obsolete 3-denticulato; ovarii loculis biovulatis. In Brasilia, prov. Rio de Janeiro, 
in arenosis maritimis, circa Cabo Frio (St.-Hilaire): non vidi. 
A small shrub, according to St.-Hilaire, evidently allied to the preceding species, 
which it much resembles in the size of its leaves, and in its inflorescence: the leaves are 
13-23 in. long, 1-13 in. broad, on a petiole 11-2 lines long; the inflorescence is 6-8 lines 
long, the sepals $ line long, the petals 14 line long; the broad margin of the disk 
appears to be turned up, as it is in the preceding species, and as in Prionostemma ; but 
the inflorescence is essentially that of Raddia. 
18. RADDIA CRASSIFOLIA, nob.: Anthodon crassifolium, Mart. in Schult. Mant. i. 253; 
DC. Prodr. i. 970: Tonsella crassifolia, Spr. Syst. i. 177 : Salacia obtusifolia, Camb. 
Fl. Bras. Merid. ii. 105: arbuscula, ramis ramulisque teretibus, angulato-striatis, 
rugulosis, lenticellis pallidis concavis crebre verruculosis, cum cortice 2-3-laminari 
facile secedente: foliis remotiuscule alternis, subadpressis aut paululo divaricatis, 
elongato-oblongis, imo subacutis vel obtusis, apice rotundatis et rarius paulo emar-
