“OcoTEA MaRaNHANA” 
A specimen in Herb. Kew., collected by Pearce at Santa Cruz, 
bears the above name, without author, but I can find no publication 
of it. Williams No. 177, a “tree 25 ft. high and 3 in. in diameter; 
Apolo, 4800 ft., Apr. 17, 1902,” seems to be the same. 
Williams No. 1488, a “tree 20 ft. high and 5 in. in diameter; 
Apolo, 4800 ft., Aug. 17, 1902,” in fruit, may be the same, though 
the racemes appear much shorter.
