4. Clidemia altileoides, Naudin. 



Clidemia althceoides, Naudin, in Aim. Sci. Nat. ser. 3, 17, p. 563 ? 



Hab. Brazil ; in the Organ Mountains, near Bio Janeiro. 



An imperfect specimen; with the leaves more tomentose under- 

 neath, and the fruit larger than C althceoides is described : otherwise 

 it accords too well to be separated. A withered remaining petal is 

 lanceolate and very acute. The soft and hirsute, dense, rufous 

 pubescence of the branchlets is renexed. The flowers are conspi- 

 cuously pedicelled ; else the plant might, perhaps, have been referred 

 to C. retropila, DC. 



5. Clidemia margin ata, DC. 



Clidemia marginata, DC. Prodr. 3, p. 156; Naudin, 1. c. p. 362.

 Organ Mountains.
