1. T. arborea Elmer n. sp. in herb. 
A small tree 8 to 12 m. high. Leaves opposite, 7 to 16 cm. long, 2.5 to 0 cm. 
wide, oblong-lanceolate' to broadly oblanceolate or elliptical oblanceolate, the apex 
acuminate, gradually narrowed below to the acute base, glabrous on both sur-

the reticulations obscure, dense; petioles glabrous or very slightly pubescent, 
0.5 to 1 cm. long; stipules 4 mm. long, acuminate, pubescent. Female flowers 
axillary, solitary, the pedicels 1.5 cm. long, pubescent. Calyx 6 mm. long, pubes-
