It is apparently most closely allied to Callicarpa arborea Roxb., but its 
cymes are much smaller and usually but once or twice forked; its leaves 
smaller and fewer nerved; its flowers larger; and its ovaries are slightly 
glandular but not tomentose. 
CALLICARPA SUBINTEGRA sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, 3 ad 5 m alta, partibus junioribus subtus foliis 
et inflorescentiis densissime subalbido- vel griseo-stellato-pube-

A small tree, 3 to 5 m high, the younger parts, lower surface 
of the leaves and the inflorescences very densely and uniformly 
stellate-puberulent, the indumentum white or brownish-white. 
Branches terete, pale-brown, ultimately glabrous. Leaves lan- 
ceolate, chartaceous, 8 to 11 cm long, 1,5 to 2 cm wide, entire or 
the margins distantly and obscurely denticulate, base acute, apex 
slenderly caudate-acuminate, the upper surface olivaceous, 
smooth, shining, glabrous, or the midrib sometimes stellate- 
pubescent, the lower surface entirely covered with the very dense, 
pale indumentum, no glands evident; lateral nerves about 8 on 
each side of the midrib, curved-ascending, anastomosing, the 
primary reticulations distinct; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long, densely 
stellate-puberulent. Cymes axillary, solitary, dichotomously 
branched, up to 2.5 cm long and 4 cm wide, all parts very densely 
stellate-puberulent, the peduncles 1 cm long or less, the bracts of 
the primary branches linear, up to 5 mm long, those of the 
secondary branches similar but shorter. Flowers densely 
crowded on the ultimate branchlets, sessile or subsessile. Calyx 
1.5 mm in diameter, truncate or minutely and obscurely 4-toothed, 
externally densely pale puberulent. Corolla 2.5 mm long, 
glabrous, the lobes 4, broadly ovate, obtuse, 1 mm long. Anthers 
exserted, 1 mm long. Style glabrous, 4 mm long. Young fruit 
ellipsoid to obovoid, glabrous. 2.5 to 3 mm in diameter, black 
when dry.

In some respects this species resembles Callicarpa angusta Schauer, from 
which it is readily distinguished by its denser indumentum, its entire or 
but slightly toothed leaves, fewer nerves, and longer petioles. Its true
