Poecilochroma venosa sp. nov. 
Densely branching, the branchlets thick but weak, terete, 
recurved-spreading, densely roughened with fine corky excres- 
cences, rich-brown, densely leafy; petioles 1-3 mm. long, broad, 
margined; blades 2.5-4 cm. long, 1-2 cm. broad, oval-ovate, sub- 
rotate at the base, obtuse at the apex, entire, deep-green, thickish,

prominent below, where the wrinkles occur in peculiar wave-like

The same as Lechler 2080 from Peru, and perhaps the same as 
Mandon 441: also collected by Pearce. 
Poecilochroma brevifolia sp. nov. 
Branches stout, terete, ascending or erect, peepee tiki ae 
roughened with corky excrescences; petioles 
neled above; blades 2-3 cm. long, I-2 cm. aa eae witli 
rounded base and very blunt summit, entire, slightly thickened, 
yellowish-green, glabrous, finely wrinkled, the midrib channeled 
above, with the venation slightly impressed, the latter prominent

Apparently the same as zo. pes Species very near the last, but 
the longer petioles with shorter leaves, different calyx-lobes and 
branchlets, mark it as distinct.
