PANAMA: woods between Gatun and Lion Hill, Canal Zone, 
altitude 10-20 meters, January 26, 1911, H. Pittier 2566 (type 
in U.S. National Herbarium, No. 676722); forests around Puerto 
Remedios, Chiriqui, altitude 10-30 meters, March 31, I9II, 
H. Pittier 3380. 
According to Mr. Pittier’s notes, No. 2566 was a vine with 
yellowish green flowers, and No. 3380 a small tree with red fruit. 
The species is related to R. glabra H. B. K., but is easily dis- 
tinguished by its densely stipitate-glandular and puberulous 
panicles. In fruit the glands are for the most part deciduous, 
although the hairs persist.
