length of the pedicel, lobed more than half way, the lobes 

 appressed, broadly ovate with rounded summit. Style slender, 

 a little longer than the calyx-lobes. 



"A small tree to lo or 12 feet. Common in wooded valleys 

 by streams, below 1500 feet. Collected near Bonda, August." 

 (Herbert H. Smith, Colombia, No. 432). 



A part of 431 is the same, with ripe fruit, which is about 6 

 mm. in diameter and has a short style-base. Smith says 

 "Berries red, at length blackish." 



Icacorea Herbert-Smithii.

 inflorescence-leaves seen, the largest 6 cm. long, 3.5 cm. broad, 

 ovate and abruptly contracted into a broad petiole-like base, 

 acute, obscurely crenate, minutely dark-punctate underneath, 

 where the minutely roughened venation is sharply prominent. 

 Smaller foliage leaves spatulate, sessile. Panicle compound, 

 large and openly branched, the branches long and slenderly 

 peduncled, the flowers crowded at the ends of the ultimate 

 divisions. Pedicels very slender, at length 5 mm. long, costate, 

 minutely hispid. Flowers 4-merous. Calyx i mm. long, the 

 lobes ovate, obtuse. Corolla-lobes 4 mm. long, ovate with

 Icacorea sanmartensis.

 the midrib sharply prominent beneath, lightly channelled above, 

 the venation slightly prominent beneath, the surface obscurely 

 dark-dotted. Panicles in the upper axils and terminal, shorter

 branched and few-flowered, the pedicels shorter than their 

 flowers, angled, thickened upward. Sepals imbricate, strongly 

 maculate, 6 mm. long and about half as broad, oval with rounded
