Wissaputa spicata (HBK.) Presl, Rel. Haenk. ii. 117 (1830). 
Abutilon spicatum HBK. Nov. Gen. et Spec. v. 271 (1821). To the 
synonymy of this species may be added Wissadula elongata Brandegee, 
Zoe, v. 210 (1905), from Cofradia in the vicinity of Culiacan, Sinaloa. 
Linociera oblanceolata, spec. nov., fruticosa vel arborea; ramis 
gracilibus teretiusculis cortice griseo tectis; ramulis fulvido-puberulis; 
foliis vix coriaceis oblanceolatis utrinque glabris 11-13 cm. longis 
3.5-4.2 em. latis apice caudato-acuminatis basi sensim angustatis, 
petiolo proprio teretiusculo puberulo 3-4 mm. solum longo; paniculis 
laxis 6-8 cm. longis gracillimis ex axillis superioribus foliorum verorum 
oriuntibus flavido-puberulis; floribus graciliter 3-5 mm. longe pedi- 
cellatis; calycis lobis ovatis acuminatis patentibus 1.2 mm. longis 
flavido-puberulis; petalis margine valde involutis caudiformibus 
7-10 mm. longis; antheris 1 mm. longis obtusis, filamentis brevis- 
simis, connectivo apice non productis; fructu crassiuscule clavato 
1.9 cm. longo 8 mm. diametro in specimine sicco nigrescente.— Forest, 
upper Moho River, British Honduras, 16 March, 1907, Prof. Morton 
E. Peck, no. 719 (type, in Gray Herb.). This species differs from L. 
caribaea (Jacq.) Knobl. by its unappendaged anthers. From L. 
Bakeri Urb. of Cuba it may be distinguished by its larger oblanceolate 
acuminate and even more shortly petioled leaves. :
