lines long. The panicle is little more than an inch long ; the 
calyx is Ij line long ; the tube of the corolla is the lobes 
1| line long ; the drupe is 2 lines in diameter, enveloped by 
the calyx ; the style is cleft for one-sixth of its length*.

This description is given by Kunth of a plant cultivated in 
Berlin, supposed to be of Mexican origin : it is very near the 
preceding sjiecies, apparently ditfering only in the shape and 
size of its leaves, which are inches long, 19-20 lines 
broad, on a petiole 4 lines long. 
6. Ehretia ciliata^ nob. ; — ramis nudiusculis, nitidis, lenticel- 
latis, subcompressis, ramulis ultimis brevibus, divaricatis, 
fohiferis ; foliis ellipticis, imo obtusis, apice subacutis, mu- 
cronatis, integris, planis, supra paUide viridibus, opacis, 
utrinque scabridule pilosis, nervis immersis, subtus paulo 
paUidioribus, in axillis nervorum subbarbatis ; petiolo tenui, 
piloso, limbo 10-plo breviore : corymbis in ramulis ultimis 
terminalibus, foho longioribus, pilosulis, alternatim pluri- 
ramosis ; floribus subapproximatis, pedicellatis ; calyce pro- 
funde 5-partito, laciniis acutissimis, erectis, extus aspero- 
pilosis, intus pilosulis ; corollas lobis oblongis, tuboque calyci 
ffiquilongis ; staminibus medio tubi insertis, exsertis ; stylo 
breviter bifido, ramis crassiusculis. — In Texas : v. s.in herb. 
Hook. (Lindheimer, 665). 
In this species the leaves are If- If inch long, 7-9 lines 
broad, on a petiole 2 lines long : the panicle is about 7 inches 
long ; the calyx, tube, and lobes of the border are each 2 lines 
long. 
7. Ehretia latifolia^ DC. Prodr. ix. 503 ; — ramis tenuibus, sub- 
teretibus, rugoso-lenticellatis, striatis, glabris ; ramulis sub- 
compressis, subpubescentibus ; foliis late ovatis, imo sub- 
rotundis et circa petiolum breviter subito attenuatis, apice 
brevissime et obtusule apiculatis, planis, margine serratis aut 
serrulatis, dentibus mucronulatis, submembranaceis, supra 
subnitidis, liete viridibus, tenuiter nervosis, e tuberculis mi-
