Callicarpa surigaensis sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ca. 8 m alta ; ramis ramulis inflorescentiis foliisque 
plus minus dense ferrugineo-stellato-villosis hirsutisque; foliis oblongo- 
ovatis vel lanceolato-ovatis, eaudato-aeuminatis, basi aeutis, 10 ad 15 cm 
longis, nervis utrinque ca. 7 ; cymis axillaribus, pedunculatis, usque ad 
4 cm longis, dense ferrugineo-hirsutis ; floribus ca. 5 mm longis. 
A small tree, about 8 m high, the branches, branchlets, inflorescence 
and petioles densely ferruginous-stellate-tomentose and with numerous, 
long hirsute hairs. Leaves oblong-ovate to lanceolate-ovate, 10 to 15 
cm long, 4 to 7 cm wide, subcoriaceous, base acute, apex gradually 
narrowed into a long, slender, caudate acumen, the upper surface rather 
densely hirsute on the midrib and nerves, with scattered hairs on the 
lamina, the lower surface paler, rather densely ferruginous-stellate- 
villous, and with scattered long hairs on the nerves and midrib ; margins 
minutely denticulate; nerves about 7 on each side of the midrib, promi- 
nent beneath, the reticulations distinct; petioles densely hirsute, about 
1 cm long. Cymes axillary, penducled, 4 cm long or less, densely 
ferruginous-hirsute. Flowers red. Calyx about 3 mm long, densely 
villous, 4-toothed. Corolla glabrous, 5 mm long, 4-lobed, the lobes 
2 mm long, obtuse. Stamens 4; filaments subequal, 4 mm long the 
anthers 2 mm long. Ovary glandular; style 7 mm long; stigma capitate.

A species well characterized by its dense stellate-tomentose and hirsute, 
ferruginous indumentum. 
Callicarpa ramiflora sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, ca. 5 m alta; ramulis petiolisque densissime fulvo- vel 
ferrugineo-hirsutis; foliis elliptieo-ovatis vel 'oblongo-ellipticis, usque 
ad 30 cm longis, subtus plus minus stellato-tomentosis ; cymis brevibus, 
congestis, fasciculatis, in ramis vetustioribus ; floribus ca. 5 mm longis, 
ealyce plus minus stellato-tomentoso. 
A small tree about 5 m high. Branches stout, terete, gray, glabrous, 
the branchlets densely ferruginous-hirsute. Leaves opposite, elliptical- 
ovate to oblong-elliptical, 30 cm long and 15 cm wide or less, sub- 
coriaceous, apex short-acuminate, base acute, margins obscurely dentic- 
ulate, glabrous on the upper surface except the ferruginous-pubescent 
midrib and nerves, beneath rather densely stellate-tomentose; nerves 12 
to 14 on each side of the midrib, prominent beneath, the reticulations 
very distinct; petioles very densely ferruginous-hirsute, 1 to 2 cm long. 
Cymes about 1 cm long, fascicled, densely hirsute, congested, in the 
axils of branches' or in the axils of fallen leaves on the older branches. 
Calyx slightly stellate-villous, 4 mm long, 4-toothed. Corolla 5 mm
