Russya BoLıvıana Britton, sp. n. 
Branches elongated, slender, glabrous or minutely scabrate 
above; stipules weak, subulate, 2 mm. long ; petioles 1 mm. long, 
stout, the blade 3-4 cm. long, 10-15 mm. broad, oblong, the base 
acute, the apex abruptly acuminate but not acute, thick and rigid, 
entire, slightly revolute, glabrous and shining, especially above, 
the primary veins only 2 or 3, extended near the margin two- 
thirds of the way to the apex, other veins indistinct; umbels axil- 
lary, sessile, 3-6-flowered ; flowers not seen; fruiting pedicels 
spreading or pendulous, 1 cm. long, slender, dilated upward and 
slightly compressed where they are continued into the calyx, pu- 
bescent; fruit (apparently immature) 3 mm. long and broad, urce- 
olate with broad truncate apex where the short base of the calyx 
crowns it, glabrous, dry, strictly 5-celled; the numerous seeds (im- 
mature) light brown, lance-oblong, curved. 
Songo, Nov. 1890 (852). 
In its apparently non-fleshy fruit this differs from the other 
species of the genus; but, though resembling Ceratostemma, its 
nearest approach is evidently toward Rusdya.
