GLYPTOPETALUM LOHERI sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor glabra ; foliis subcoriaceis, ellipticis ad ellip- 
tico-ovatis, integris, breviter petiolatis, usque ad 10 cm longis, in 
siccitate pallidis, acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque 5 vel 
6, tenuibus, obscuris, reticulis subobsoletis ; cymis axillaribus, 
brevibus, paucifloris ; fructibus globosis, 6 ad 10 mm diametro, 1- 
ad 4-locellatis. 
A glabrous shrub or small tree, the branches terete, reddish- 
brown, the younger ones pale straw-colored. Leaves rather un- 
equal in size, opposite, subcoriaceous, pale when dry, elliptic to 
ovate-elliptic, 6 to 10 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, subequally nar- 
rowed to the acute base and to the sharply acuminate apex, shin- 
ing, entire; lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each side of the midrib, 
slender, obscure, the reticulations nearly obsolete ; petioles 3 to 4 
mm long. Cymes axillary, short, the peduncles 1 cm long or less, 
unbranched or with two very short branchlets. Flowers ap- 
parently sessile, crowded, few. Fruits globose, 6 to 10 mm in 
diameter, not sulcate, 1- to 4-celled, 1- to 4-seeded, the pericarp 
pale when dry, thickly coriaceous; seeds brown, about 7 mm 
long, the apical one-third surrounded by a thin, membranaceous, 
brittle, brown aril. Persistent sepals coriaceous, reniform, 4,
