Harbison’s Gainesville specimens have more coarsely serrate shine aa 
up to rocm. in length and are oblique at base. The bract of the peduncle is 
3 cm. broad and in the broader corymbs there are 40-50 flowers. The leaves, 
however, are crenately serrate and quite glabrous with the exception of the 
small axillary tufts. This is evidently only a vigorous branch. On one of 
Harbison’s San Mateo specimens the leaves in shape and serration resemble 
those of his Gainesville plant and the pedunculate bracts vary from 1 to 2. 5 cm. 
in width. In the other San Mateo specimen the pedunculate bract is only . 
rem. wide. On Harbison’s Albany specimen the pedunculate bract is only 
5mm. wide. The trees at San Mateo, Sumner, and Gainesville grow in low 
hummocks in sandy soil and sometimes attain the height of 20 m., with trunks 
45 cm. in diameter.
