393, ‘*CLETHRA BRASILIENSIS,” I now regard as C. TINIFOLIA 
Sw. Prodr. Veg. Ind. Occ. 74 
4403 is probably the same as the preceding, and is the same as 
specimens collected by Pearce at Sandillani, 7000-8000 ft., April, 
1865. Itis not clear as to how great is the variation in length of 
bracts in the same species, in this genus. Apparently, the char- 
acter is extremely variable. 
717, ‘* CLETHRA BREVIFOLIA,” is 
Clethra cuneata sp. nov 
Strongly ferruginous-tomentose, the upper leaf-surfaces papillose ; 
much-branched, the branchlets short, ascending, densely leafy, 
blackish ; petioles 5-8 cm. sae very stout, dilated at the inser- 
tion; blades 4-7 cm. long, 2.5-4 cm. broad, obovate, cuneate 
or acute at the base, rounded at the apex, obscurely sinuate-mar- 
gined, coriaceous, thick, the principal veins impressed above, very 
prominent underneath, the secondaries 9-12 pairs, connected by

m ong, 3 mm. broad, obovate, oie the base thick and 
broad; style stout, purple, 1 mm. long, the three stout lobes lightly

Lambert. 
Z163, omitted, is
