the calyx is 2| lines long, the tube of the corolla 4 lines, its 
lobes 3 lines long. 
The three several plants referred here by Dr. Grisebach 
(PI. Wright. Cub. Or. p. 528) all belong to different species.

A distinct species, different from the Bourreria radula of 
Chamisso, which is B. tomentosa. It is easily distinguished 
by its small coriaceous leaves, scabrid on both sides, and 
closely punctulated above with large white raised tubercles. 
Its leaves are 1-2 inches long, 6-9 lines broad, on a petiole 
1-2 lines long. 
This species is confounded by Dr. Grisebach (Flor. Br. W. 
Ind. p. 482) with the Ehretia Havanensis, WiUd., which he 
makes a variety of Bourreria tomentosa.
