MARKEA VERRUCOSA sp. n. 
Branchlets very stout, densely verrucose with intermediate 
ifc: pubescence; leaves sub-ternately arranged; petioles 
broad, oval, the base acute, the apex abruptly con- 
tracted into a short broad acute point, coriaceous, above so 
densely and shortly velutinous as to appear glabrous, the 
veins impressed, underneath densely yellowish short-stellate; pe- 
duncle and rhachis together 6 dm. long, or more, verrucose, dis- 
tantly branched; flowers not seen ; fruiting calyx-tube turbinate, 
I.5 cm. long, t cm. broad, the limb divided nearly to the base, 
the lobes 4 cm. long, lanceolate, acuminate and acute, coriaceous; 
apparently purple, reticulate-veined, glabrous; fruit 2 cm. or more 
in diameter, the pericarp wanting, the very numerous seeds nearly

Unique in the genus in its very peculiar indumentum.

haps distributed separately as 1414.) Apparently an extreme 
form of this variable species.
