Species affinis V. serrato, Wight, a quo habitu graciliore, 
ramulis dense hispidis, foliis minoribus nunquam verticillatis, 
inflorescentiis axillaribus per caulem distributis nec apicem 
versus congestis, staminum filamentis pilosulis inter alia signa 
minora divergit. 
Frutex 1-1.5 m. altus ramulis elongatis gracilibus primo 
dense setoso-hispidis. Folia subsessilia 3-4 cm. longa, I-1.5 
cm. lata, lanceolata vel ovato-lanceolata vel elliptico-lanceolata, 
apice acuta calloso-apiculata, basi cuneata, margine remote 
serrulata, utrinque glabra, supra atroviridia infra olivacea, 
nervis utrinque subconspicuis. Inflorescentiae axillares race- 
mosae numerosae per caulem distributae effusiores + 5 cm. 
longae, 10—20-florae glabrae ; bracteae + 1 mm. longae lineari- 
lanceolatae glanduloso-ciliatae, erga basim racemorum aggregatae 
imbricatae, supra remotae ; pedicelli 1-2 cm. longi patentes. 
Calycis lobi triangulares circ. I.5 mm. longi, purpurei glabri 
vel subglabri; ovarium circ. 1.5 mm. longum. Corolla circ, 
5 mm. longa suburceolata extra minute puberula viridi-flava 
vel viridi-albida apice kermesina ; lobi parvi recurvi. Stamina

Vaccinium spicigerum, W. W. Sm. Sp. nov. 
Species affinis V. fragili, Franch. a quo habitu diverso, 
ramulis dense fulvido-tomentosis, petiolis longioribus, foliis ad
