7. G. epiphytica {Elmer) H. J. Lam, nov. comb. — 

 Callicarpaepiphytica Elmer ^), Leafl. Phil. Bot. VIII, 

 2871 (1915) — A shrub?; branchlets, cymes and petioles 

 minutely brownish-stellate-tomentose; leaves oblong-lan- 

 ceolate, oblong or sublanceolate, base cuneate or subacute 

 sometimes truncate, apex acute or long-aouminate, char- 



') As some other, especially American and English authors use to 

 do, Elmer is, in our opinion disapprovedly accustomed to use the English 

 language for describing new species, instead of using Latin. According 

 to the definitions (jf the botanical Congress, Brussels 1910, that all 

 botanists should take for a rule, all those species, described in this way 

 after 1912, properly should be declared not valid.
