branaceous leaves which are entirely glabrous on the upper surface. It 
somewhat resembles Callicarpa angusta Schauer, but is not closely allied 
to that species. 
CALLICARPA PHANEROPHLEBIA sp. nov. 
Frutex 1 ad 2 m altus, ramis ramulisque teretibus, partibus 
junioribus stellato-tomentosis ; foliis chartaceis, lanceolatis vel 
oblongo-lanceolatis, usque ad 15 cm longis, supra glabris, nitidis, 
olivaceis, subtus brunneo-olivaceis, glandulosis, glabris vel ad 
costa stellato-tomentosis, apice tenuissime caudato-acuminatis, 
basi obtusis, margine perspicue serrato-dentatis, nervis primariis 
utrinque circiter 7, curvato-anastomosantibus, valde prominen- 
tibus ; cymis axillaribus, laxis, pedunculatis, usque ad 6 cm longis 
latisque, paucifloris. 
A shrub about 2 m high, the younger parts distinctly stellate- 
tomentose with pale-brownish hairs, the older parts glabrous. 
Branches terete, brownish, glabrous, the branchlets very slender, 
the younger parts densely stellate-tomentose. Leaves lanceo- 
late to oblong-lanceolate, chartaceous, 11 to 15 cm long, 2 to 
4 cm wide, narrowed upward to the very slender, caudate- 
acuminate apex, the acumen 1 to 2 cm long, the base obtuse, 
margins prominently dentate-serrate, the teeth somewhat apicu- 
late, the upper surface olivaceous, somewhat shining, glabrous, 
or the midrib somewhat stellate-tomentose, the lower surface 
brownish-olivaceous, shining, with very numerous, shining 
glands in minute pits, the midrib and sometimes the lateral nerves 
stellate-tomentose; lateral nerves about 7 on each side of the 
midrib, very prominent, curved-ascending, anastomosing, the 
reticulations lax, prominent; petioles stellate-tomentose, about 
3 mm long. Cymes axillary, solitary, few-flowered, very lax, 
up to 6 cm long and wide, dichotom.ously branched, more or less 
stellate-tomentose, the peduncles 2 cm long. Flowers purplish, 
their pedicels 0.5 mm long, jointed to the branchlets. Bracts 
linear, 1 to 1.5 mm long. Calyx cup-shaped, truncate or very 
obscurely 4-toothed, 1.4 mm long and wide. Fruits globose, 
glabrous, wrinkled when dry, 3 mm in diameter.

meters. 
A species well characterized by its slenderly caudate-acuminate, pro- 
minently toothed, nearly glabrous, very prominently nerved leaves, and its 
lax, few-flowered inflorescences. It is perhaps as closely allied to Callicarpa 
dolichophylla Merr. as to any other described species, but is entirely dif- 
ferent in its vegetative and inflorescence characters.
