ovate, aeutisli. Filanieiits stout, the aiitlu>rs sagittate, miimtely 

 niueronate. Style very stout. 



Near Eurrenabaque, 1,000 feet altitude, //. H. Rushy, Oc- 

 tober, 1921 {no. 86()-A). A stout, high-climbing vine in the 

 forest, where F. hiacteosa also grows, but the latter is not frag- 

 rant. This plant would be a valuable acquisition for greenhouse 

 culture. 



Callicarpa minutiflora 



Gray-scurfy throughout, except the upper leaf-surfaces, which 

 are deep-green with gray-scurfy midrib and very small scattered 

 stellate patches. Stem tall and slender, obscurely angled. Peti- 

 oles 1.5 to 2.5 cm. long, stout, the blades 1 to 2 dm. long, 5 to 10 

 cm. broad, lance-ovate, with somewhat cuneate base and long- 

 acuminate and attenuate summit, very lightly sinuate-dentate, 

 very thin, the slender venation slightly prominent beneath, the 

 strongly falcate-ascending secondaries about G to 8 on a side, 

 connecting close to the margin and connected by rather numer- 

 ous very slender tertiaries. Cymes shortly and stoutly pe- 

 duncled, loosely branched, the branchlets densely flowered. 

 Calyx turbinate-campanulate, 1.5 mm. long and broad, the mar- 

 gin lightly sinuate. Corolla tAvice the length and breadth of the 

 calyx, campanulate, lobed half way. Kxserted portion of sta- 

 mens twice the length of the corolla. Style al)out equaling the 

 stamens, and stouter. 



Eurrenabaque, 1,000 feet, November 24, 1921 {no. 17(18). 

 Species near C. acuminata, H. B. K., and may possibly prove to 

 be only a variety of it. 



PSEUDAEGIPHILA gen. nov. 



Calyx campanulate, the limb normally 4-toothed, the teeth 

 equal and erect, often irregularly 3-toothed, in fruit enlarged and 

 coriaceous, the summit involute. Corolla marcescent, the tube 

 straight, cylindrical, with the summit somewhat enlarged, the 

 limb slightly bilabiate, the upper lip entire or subentire, the 

 lower three-lobed, the lobes smaller than the upper lip. Occa- 

 sionally, the corolla is 3-]o])ed. Stamens 4, exserted, the two 

 long ones normally equal, the two short ones frequently un- 

 equal, the filaments attached below^ the throat of the corolla, 

 somewhat flattened, the anthers attached at the back near the 

 base, 2-celled, lightly cordate, oval, the cells parallel. With the 

 occasional 3-lobed corolla, but 3 stamens are present. Ovary
