veins prominent, reticulate, glabrous both sides; raceme solitary, 
sessile, about 8 (5-10) flowered, pendulous, the rhachis and pedicels 
(1 cm. long) blackish when dry, the bracts subulate, 3 mm. long; 
sepals about 3, petals about 6 mm. long; fruit not seen. 
The same collected by Pearce, at Pelechuco, Peru. 
857. Berberis rectinervia Rusby. This now appears to me distinct 
from Pearce’s La Banca specimen, which has spines 3-parted 
above the base, the leaves spiny-toothed and with a different 
venation. 
826. Vochysia Bolivana Rusby. Fruit characters, taken from a 
specimen collected by Pearce at Moro, 4000-5000 feet altitude, 
and deposited at Kew, are as follows: 
24 mm. long by 8-10 mm. broad, oblong, both ends rounded» 
angled and channelled, rugose and papillose, blackish, on a pe- 
duncle more than half as long.

CAOPIA CRASSA sp. n. 
Except upper surface of leaf, entire plant densely ferruginous ; 
branchlets angular, stout; petioles stout, channelled, 1—1.5 cm. 
long ; blade 7-15 cm. long, 2.5—5 cm. broad, lanceolate, base round- 
ed, apex acuminate, thick and rigid, faintly revolute, midrib strong 
. and prominent below, principal veins 15—18 pairs, reticulate, above 
smooth and shining, yellowish green when dry; panicles pe- 
duncled, 5-7 cm. broad, 3-4 cm. long exclusive of peduncles; 
pedicels very stout, strongly angled, 4-5 mm. long, articulated to 
branchlets 1.5-2 mm. long, the articulation swollen; sepals oval, 
obtusish, 8 mm. long, 5 mm. broad, very thick, smooth and shin- 
ing within; petals about as long, broader, densely pilose-fringed, 
spotted only above the middle; squamae small, thick and fleshy, 
triangular-ovate, pilose; ovary broadly ovoid, papillose, the styles, 
just after the fall of the petals slightly longer than the ovary. . 
Very near C. Brasiliensis, which has leaves less shining above 
and oblanceolate sepals. The same as Rusby's 1810; also col- . 
lected by Pearce at Sandillani. 
741. CLUSIA RAMOSA sp. n. 
Much branched, the branchlets recurved, dark reddish brown; 
petioles 5-8 mm. long, boat-shaped, the upper partly enfolding 
the buds; blade of larger leaves 10-15 cm. long, 5-7 cm. broad, 
the upper rapidly diminishing in size, obovate, the base obtusish, 
the apex beautifully rounded, very thick, the margin sharply revo- 
lute, midrib and veins very prominent below, the latter 35—59
