1735 m., 22 July, 1904, C. G. Pringle, no. 8952 (hb. Gr.). The spe- 
cies is well characterized by its long narrow leaves, white flowers with 
narrow perianth-divisions, greenish filaments and style. It is apparently 
most nearly related to H. adnata, Herb. 
Myrica Pringlei, n. sp. Shrub, 3 to10dm. high: stem and branches 
covered with a reddish or gray bark and dotted with numerous lenticels ; 
ultimate branchlets at first pubescent, later glabrate: leaves petiolate, 
oblanceolate to oblong, 1.5 to 5 em. long, 0.5 to 2 cm. broad, obtuse to 
rounded at the apex and submucronate, sparingly dentate towards the 
apex, entire in the lower half and abruptly to gradually narrowed into 
the 1-4 mm. long petiole, dark green above, paler beneath, sparingly 
pubescent and densely resinous-dotted on both surfaces in the early 
stages, later glabrate, becoming thick and firm in texture and somewhat 
verrucose above ; midrib and the subhorizontally spreading lateral nerves 
rather prominent on the under surface: pistillate catkins solitary in the 
leaf-axils, slender, 5 to 12 mm. in length: flowers scattered, 1 in the axil 
of each bract; bractlets or scales at the base of the ovary 4, ciliate; 
ovary densely covered, except at the very top, with wax globules; styles 
somewhat flattened : staminate catkins solitary in the leaf-axils, 1 to 2 cm. 
in length; rhachis sparingly pubescent, resinous-dotted: flowers scat- 
tered; stamens 4 to 12; anthers often roseate to purplish: mature fruit 
not seen. — Mexico. State of Puebla: pine forests about Honey 
Station, altitude 1765 m., 25 April, 1904, ©. G, Pringle, no. 10,002 
(hb. Gr.). 
The species here described is quite distinct from anything in the genus 
hitherto recorded from Mexico, and of the northern representatives it 
approaches most nearly JZ. carolinensis, Mill., from which, however, it 
differs in the longer and looser-flowered staminate and pistillate catkins, 
and in the somewhat smaller more glabrate leaves, which in age become 
distinctly verrucose on the upper surface. 
Lozanella, n. gen. of Urticaceae (Celtideae). Flowers dioecious. 
Pistillate flowers in axillary cymes: perianth 5-—6-parted ; segments 
slightly imbricated. Ovary sessile; style divided to the base, branches 
stigmatose ; ovules pendulent, solitary. Drupe small, ovoid, compressed ; 
exocarp succulent ; endocarp hard, bony. Embryo curved ; cotyledons - 
oblong-rotund. Staminate flowers unknown. Ligneous plants with op- 
posite leaves, axillary cymose flowers, and small greenish drupaceous 
fruit. - 
L. trematoides, n. sp. Stem terete or slightly compressed at the 
nodes, and as well as the branches covered with a reddish-brown bark,
