1. Diospyeos Weayi, King & Gamble, n. sp. A shrub 4 to 12 feet 
high ; young branches as thick as a crow-quill, cinereous- or rusty- 
puberulous. Leaves small, alternate, membranous ; ovate-lanceolate to 
narrowly elliptic, shortly acuminate, the base cuneate ; both surfaces 
dark olivaceous ; the upper very shining and minutely reticulate, glabrous 
except the puberulous depressed midrib ; the lower more brown and 
dull, the midrib pubescent and prominent, the reticulations less distinct ; 
length 2 to 4 in., breadth -75 to 1’5 in. ; petioles '05 to - 1 in. Male 
flowers -25 in. long, 2 to 4 together in small axillary cymes, black when 
dry, puberulous, pedicels very short. Calyx less than -1 in. long, narrowly 
campanulate with 4 deep ovate lobes. Corolla three times as long as 
the calyx, salver-shaped, sub-glabrous ; limb with 4 oblong lobes. 
Sta'mcns 16, united in pairs by the bases of the unequal filaments, broadly 
lanceolate, inserted near the base of the tube. Female flowers like the $ 
but longer — especially the calyx. Staminodes about 8, lanceolate. Ovary 
glabrescent, ovoid-conic, tapering into a rather long style ; stigmas 4, 
fleshy, short. Fruit globular, crowned by the short style, glabrous, 
shining, black when ripe (when dry) ; calyx at its base - 75 in. across,

tawny-pubescent, pale brown when dry. Leaves small, alternate ; 
lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate or sub-rhomboidal, bluntly acuminate,
