A species, prominently characterized by its numerous, long, 
spreading hairs, closely allied to Diospyros everettii Merr., one 
that has the same type of indumentum. The present species 
differs from the latter in its much thinner, more-numerously 
nerved leaves and in the much more conspicuous and denser 
indumentum which is found on the branchlets, petioles, both 
surfaces of the leaves, and the flowers, while in D. everettii the 
hairs are few in number and are practically confined to the 
branchlets and flowers.

GEN IOSTOM A Forster 
GENIOSTOMA LANCILIMBUM sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, glabra, ramis teretibus, tenuibus; foliis lan- 
ceolatis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, 7 ad 10 cm longis, utrinque angus- 
tatis, basi acutis, apice caudato-acuminatis, chartaceis, nervis 
utrinque circiter 7, reticulis subobsoletis ; floribus axillaribus,

A glabrous shrub or small tree, 3 to 4 m high, the branches 
and branchlets terete, slender, the former grayish, the latter 
often black when dry. Leaves lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, 
7 to 10 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, narrowed below to the acute 
base and above to the slender, caudate-acuminate apex, char- 
taceous, shining, olivaceous or black when dry, the midrib dis- 
tinct; lateral nerves slender, indistinct, usually about 7 on each 
side of the midrib, obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations 
obsolete or nearly so; petioles 3 to 6 cm long. Flowers white, 
axillary, solitary, their pedicels about 5 mm long. Calyx 2.5 to 3 
mm in diameter, the lobes 5, glabrous, broadly triangular-ovate, 
acute, about 1 mm long, their margins very obscurely ciliate. 
Corolla-tube 3 mm long, the lobes reflexed, oblong-ovate, 2 mm 
long, the throat densely villous inside. Fruits subglobose, black 
when dry, 6 to 8 mm in diameter.

In its axillary, solitary flowers this species is apparently 
allied to Geniostoma lotngipes Merr., but is radically different 
from that species in its vegetative and other characters.
