acuminatis, epunctatis, nervis lateralibus valde obscuris, inter- 
com obsoletis; inflorescentiis e axillis foliis reductis, paniculam 
foliaceam formans; floribus umbellatim dispositis; sepalis orbi- 
culari-ovatis, 3 mm longis, imbricatis,. obscure glandulosis vel 
eglandulosis, margine ciliatis ; petalis elliptico-ovatis, 4 ad 5 mm 
longis, obtusis, epunctatis. 
A tree, glabrous except the minutely furfuraceous-lepidote 
younger parts, the indumentum subferruginous, deciduous. 
Branches terete, grayish, glabrous. Leaves alternate, coriaceous, 
oblong, 12 to 17 cm long, 4 to 4.5 cm wide, those subtending 
the inflorescences greatly reduced and 3 to 5 cm in length, sub- 
equally narrowed to the acute base and the blunt-acuminate 
apex, brownish-olivaceous and dull or slightly shining when 
dry, of the same color on both surfaces, entire, epunctate, the 
midrib impressed on the upper surface, prominent beneath, the 
lateral nerves very slender, obscure, sometimes obsolete ; petioles 
stout, rugose, pale, about 8 mm long. Inflorescences from the 
axils of reduced leaves toward the apices of the branches, form- 
ing a somewhat leafy panicle, all lateral, the individual inflores- 
cences bipinnate, the flowers umbellately arranged at the tips of 
the branches, 5 to 7 flowers in a panicle, their pedicels 5 mm 
long or less, subtended by oblong bracteoles, the primary 
branches 1 cm long or less, subtended by oblong-lanceolate bracts 
up to 8 mm in length. Sepals 3 mm long, imbricate, orbicular- 
ovate, rounded, obscurely glandular, margins ciliate. Petals 
elliptic-ovate, 4 to 5 mm long, 3 mm wide, obtuse, glabrous, 
epunctate. Ovary depressed-globose, glabrous ; style 5 mm long, 
included. Anthers oblong-ovate, acuminate, 3 mm long, the con- 
nectives not or very obscurely glandular.

gima. 
The alliance of this species is apparently with Ardisia pendula Mez, 
from which it is distinguished, among numerous other characters, by its 
shorter petioles, epunctate leaves, erect or spreading, not pendulous inflores- 
cences, and smaller flowers. 
ARDISIA LANCI FOLIA sp. nov. § Acrardisia. 
Frutex, ramulis junioribus dense cupreo-lepidotis, foliis subtus 
parce seel distincte lepidotis ; foliis lanceolatis ad oblongo-lanceo- 
latis, chartaceis, olivaceis, nitidis, usque ad 11 cm longis, integris, 
basi acutis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, epunctatis vel punctis 
paucis instructis, nervis utrinque circiter 10, tenuibus/anastomo- 
santibus ; inflorescentiis terminalibus, paucifloris, 2 ad 3 cm 
longis, floribus subumbellatim dispositis; calycis lobis oblongo-
