Cuming’s specimen has been referred by Schauer to Callicarpa longi- 
folia Lam., var. subglabra Schauer, in conjunction with other specimens 
from India, Java, and Japan. The description does not apply particularly 
well to the Philippine plant, which to me does not appear to be very 
closely allied to Lamarck’s species. It is well characterized by lax cymes 
and its entirely glabrous vegetative parts, or if pubescent at all, then 
with simple, not stellate hairs, in this last character differing from most, 
if not all, other species of the genus. Two specimens of Cuming’s No. 
1330 are in the Herbarium of the Bureau of Science, one with rather 
narrow, somewhat pubescent leaves, and with pubescent stems and inflo- 
rescence, quite manifestly a young stage of the plant, the other with 
larger, glabrous leaves and inflorescence; this latter I have made the type 
sheet. 
CALLICARPA RIVULARIS sp. nov. 
Species C. angustae Schauer simillima et valde affinis, differt 
foliis paulo majoribus, nervis lateralibus paucioribus, indumento 
plus minusve stellato-plumosis, antheris majoribus. 
A shrub, apparently sometimes subscandent, 2 to 5 m high. 
Branches terete, or the ultimate ones somewhat compressed, very 
densely covered with a whitish or yellowish-white indumentum 
composed of short, stellate hairs, with some stellate-plumose ones 
intermixed, the inflorescences, petioles, and lower surface of 
the leaves with a similar indumentum. Leaves narrowly lan- 
ceolate or narrowly oblanceolate, chartaceous, 10 to 18 cm long, 
1.5 to 3.5 cm wide, the upper surface dark-colored when dry, 
quite glabrous, or with few stellate hairs along the midrib, the 
lower surface with a dense, whitish or yellowish-white indu- 
mentum, about equally narrowed at both ends, the apex slenderly 
acuminate, the margins in the lower one-half entire, above slightly 
and irregularly denticulate; petioles about 1 cm long; nerves 
about 9 on each side of the midrib, curved-ascending, anasto- 
mosing, prominent beneath. Cymes axillary, solitary, the pe- 
duncles about as long as the petioles, dichotomously branched, 
the cymes rather lax, comparatively few-flowered, 3 cm in diam- 
eter or less. Calyx somewhat funnel-shaped, about 2 mm long, 
slightly 4-toothed, externally densely white- or grayish-puberu- 
lent. Corolla-tube scarcely exserted, the corolla white, about 
3 mm long, 4-lobed, slightly pubescent externally. Anthers 1.3 
mm long, glandular on the back. Fruit globose, glabrous, about 
3 mm in diameter, containing 4 pyrenes.
