branchlets somewhat fuscous, glandular-puberulent: leaves ovate to 
rhombic-ovate, 9 to 13 cm. long, 5 to 9 cm. broad, caudate-acuminate, 
acute, subentire, 2—4-glandular-toothed at the rounded to cordate base, 
dark green above, paler beneath, slightly glandular-puberulent on the 
veins and bearing small patches of white stellate hairs at the junction 
of midrib and lateral nerves beneath, otherwise glabrous; petioles 8 to 
12 mm. long, fuscous, canaliculate above, glandular-puberulent: inflores- 
cence terminating the stem in a glandular-puberulent compound umbel, 
about 8 cm. in diameter ; peduncle about 4 cm. long ; rays of the umbel 
usually 7, from 1.5 to 2.2 em. long: flowers many: tube of the calyx 
linear, 3 mm. long, compressed, densely glandular-puberulent; calyx- 
teeth obtusish, ciliolate : corolla rotate-campanulate, 6 to 7 mm. in diam- 
eter, white, 5-lobed to the middle ; lobes ovate-rotund, reflexed: mature 
fruit not seen. —Mexico. State of Hidalgo: barranca below Trinidad

This species is related evidently to V. suleatum, Hemsl., but differs in 
having essentially terete instead of angulate-sulcate branches, caudate- 
acuminate larger leaves with a distinctly acute apex, and in not being in 
the least tomentose on the peduncle or under leaf-surface. 
Viburnum ciliatum, n. sp. Shrub: stem and branches subterete, 
covered with a grayish or somewhat purplish cortex, glabrous ; branch- 
lets sulcate-angled, at first pubescent but soon glabrate: leaves broadly 
ovate, 4 to 7.5 cm. long, 3 to 5 cm. broad, somewhat acuminate, acute, 
sinuate-dentate, conspicuously ciliate, rounded to shallowly cordate at — 
the base, dark green and except for a few scattered hairs near the mar- 
gin glabrous above, sparingly hirsute intermixed with a few minute glan- 
dular hairs on the veins beneath, sometimes with small patches of stel- 
late tomentum at the junction of midrib and lateral nerves, otherwise 
glabrous ; petioles short, 5 mm. or less in length, pubescent with a few 
scattered hirsute hairs : inflorescence a terminal slightly glandular-puber- 
ulent compound umbel, 3 to 6 em. in diameter ; peduncles 1 to 2.3 cm. 
long; rays of the umbel usually 5, from 5 to 14 mm. long: flowers 
numerous: calyx-tube elongate-turbinate, about 2 mm. long, glabrous ; 
calyx-teeth obtuse: corolla rotate-campanulate, 6 to 7 mm. in diameter, 
white, 5-lobed to the middle; lobes subrotund, spreading : fruit not seen.
