Capparis collina, n. sp. (§ CynopHaLLopHora.) Small tree: 
leaves alternate, green, paler beneath, glabrous, dull, narrowly elliptical 
or lanceolate, 6 to 9 cm. long, and 3 to 4.5 cm. wide, obtuse or rounded

under side; petiole 4 to 8 em. long; petiolules 3 to 5 cm. long; young 
stem and petioles rufescent ; Stipules geminate, lanceolate, 6 mm. long:
