A REVISION OF THE MOSS GENUS, HYMENOSTYLIELLA,
WITH DESCRIPTION OF SPOROPHYTE
Harold Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560
Hymenostyliella is among those Pottiaceous genera having
broadly lanceolate leaves with incurved margins and circinnate
points when dry, similar vegetatively to Timmiella and Hyophila.
The leaf cells bulging adaxially in a single layer and with
greatly thickened corners prompted Bartram (1939) to establish a
new genus even without fruiting material.
Until the present, the genus has been known only from Luzon
Island in the Philippines, but a series of specimens has recently
been obtained from around a sulfur spring in the Kumaon District
of northern Uttar Pradesh, India. This material bears sporo-
phytes which are lateral from small axillary perichaetia.
Slight peculiarities of the upper surface of the costa recall a
brazilian species, Timmiella alata Herz., and I also place that
species in Hymenostyliella. The following descriptions and key
are intended to help in further understanding the genus.
Hymenostyliella Bartram, Philippine Journ. Sci. 68: 108. 1939.
Stems densely foliate, erect, with central strand. Leaves
oblong lanceolate, strongly incurved when dry with inrolled
margins, widely spreading when moist; costa percurrent or
excurrent in short micro, in section with two stereid bands,
adaxial surface with row ridges or distinct wings; upper leaf
cells isodiametric, unistratose, flat abaxially, highly convex
adaxially; basal cells oblong, more lax. Perichaetia in lateral
buds. Setae elongate, smooth; urn erect, smooth; peristome
lacking; operculum very long rostrate, longer than urn; calyptra
not seen.
Key to the species of Hymenostyliella
1. Adaxial surface of costa with only low serrulate ridges
H. llanosii
1. Adaxial surface of costa with 2 large wings H. alata
The following synonymy and descriptions have been compiled
from the literature and from the collections of H. llanosii
from India.

Rather robust plants with stems 2-3 cm‘high, stems sparsely
branching, rather densely tufted, densely foliate with leaves
often in interrupted tufts, radiculose throughout. Leaves
narrowly linear elliptical, sharply acute, 4-5 mm long, 0.5 mm
wide, canaliculate-concave, margins inflexed and slightly repand
in upper half, erect and entire below; base not or scarcely
narrower; costa stout, to 120 y» wide at base, percurrent; adaxial
cells of upper costa usually in 3 rather prominent rows, short
with distal ends projecting, rows viewed from side as very low
serrulate ridge; upper cells of lamina rather large, 10-12 y,
wide, 10-15 y long, lumens angular with prominent thickened
corners, abaxial surface flattened with a very thick wall,
adaxial surface strongly mamillose with very fine striations on
surface; basal cells colorless, not enlarged, quadrate to short
rectangular, 10-12 » wide, 8-20 y long with rather irregularly
thickened walls, a few cells at the margin very narrow.
Dioicous. Perigonal numerous on male plants in axils of leaves,
minute, to 0.5-0.6 mm long; bracts broadly ovate with short
sharp acumination; costa slender, 20-25 y wide; cells smooth,
median and basal thin walled. Perichaetia ca. 2.0 mm long;
inner leaves with colorless bases to 0.5 mm long, slender green
tips 0.2 mm wide, costa to 50 y wide at base; upper cells except
marginal rather mamillose adaxially, with thickened angles.
Sporophyte reddish-brown; setae ca. 4 mm long, urn 1.0 x 0.5 m,
smooth and shining castaneous, few stomates at the base, exo-
thecial cells mostly ca. 25 wy wide, 25-50 y long, near mouth
3-4 rows quadrate 10-15 x15 yw; operculum erect, dark throughout,
to 1.5 mm long. Spores 10-12 » in diam., very minutely
papillose.

The new collections represent a 3000 mile extension of the
1971 Robinson, Revision of Hymenostyliella 3
known range of the species. The species may be more common than
the collections indicate, but it mst fruit rarely.
The fact that Brotherus validated Miiller's epithet seems to
have been overlooked by later authors. The simple descriptive
statement in german by Brotherus (1902) was sufficient for
validation at that time.
Hymenostyliella alata (Herz.) H.Robinson, comb. nov.
Timmiella alata Herz., Arch. Bot. Est. S. Paulo 1(2): 61.

Stems to 1.5 cm high, sparsely branched, rigid, densely
foliate. Leaves narrowly oblong-lanceolate, acute, 2.5 mm long,
0.3 mm wide, canaliculate-concave, cucullate, sometimes mucro- ’
nate, all but basal margins broadly involute; base scarcely
broader than blade, short elliptical; nerve percurrent, bearing
2 prominent wings adaxially; wings ca. 12 cells high, i cell
thick; cells of upper lamina small, mamillose adaxially; basal
cells rectangular, yellowish, subpellucid. Dioicous? Sporophyte
unknown.
Brazil. without definite locality, liitzelburg s.n.
Material has not been seen, but the combination of leaf
characters and especially the adaxial surface of the costa
indicates close relationship to Hymenostyliella llanosii (Broth. )
H.Robinson. Chen (1941) mentioned Herzog's species in his
discussion of Hymenostyliella but apparently did not notice the
slight ridging on the costa of H. llanosii. Additional material
of H. alata should be sought and examined to confirm the
postion of the perichaetia.

A NEW SPECIES OF CYCLODICTYON FROM COSTA RICA
Harold Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560
The rain forests of Central Costa Rica have been noted for
many distinctive and apparently endemic species. To these may
now be added the following previously undescribed species of
Cyclodictyon.
Cyclodictyon jamesii H.Robinson, sp. nov. (Fig. 1-3)
Planta dioica?, robustiuscula, pallide virens, fragilis, in
cortice putrido repens. Caules prostrati elongati, irregulariter
dense ramosi. Folia laxe imbricata, ad 2.0 mm longa, 0.8 mm
lata, oblonga vel late ovata, integra, in partibus superioribus
constricta, apice distincte anguste apiculata; nervis binis
divergentibus, prope constrictionem evanescentibus; cellulis
nervorum uniseriatis; cellulis laminarum magnis laevibus, prope
basin oblongis, 30 » latis, ad 80 » longis, superioribus
rotundatis, ad 40 » diam., in superficiebus abaxialibus saepe
valde convexis, marginalibus in seriebus unicis elongatis.
Cetera ignota.
Costa Rica. Puntarenas: Near Monteverde, forests, 4,300 ft.
W. James 1969-44 (US, holotype; HERB. REED, isotype).
The species shows an unusually laxly leaved appearance for
the genus, but the best distinguishing feature is the flat rather
expanded apical part of the leaves. The leaf apices are rather
fragile and undoubtedly serve as propagules. The single row of
narrower marginal cells is most evident near the apex. The
protruding cells on the back of the leaf are not always very
noticeable.

THE GENUS GYPTIS
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
Gyptis of Cassini is the oldest name for a group of plants
which have often mistakenly been placed in the genus Conocliniun.
These plants which occur in Brazil and adjacent areas have flat
receptacles, 4-26 flowers per head, thick densely setose achenes,
very prominent papillae on the inside and outside surface of the
corolla lobes and many hairs on the outside surface of the
corolla lobes. The plants with their rather long scapose inflor-
escences, compact clusters of heads and often bluish or lavender
flowers do resemble Conoclinium (King & Robinson, 1970) and the
related Brazilian genus, Barrosoa (King & Robinson, 197la).
These three genera along with Lourteigia (1971b) of the northern
Andes, share papillose outer surfaces of the corolla and highly
ornamented walls of the anther collar cells. There is every
reason to place them together in a group which we would refer to
as Gyptoid. Only striking differences in pappus structure and
slight differences in carpopodium structure separate the related
group which we refer to as Ageratoid.
One feature of the achene of Gyptis may be more the result
of its shape than of relationship. The achenes are very broad
and the minute punctations on the lateral surfaces are usually
arranged in prominent transverse rows. Similar rows of puncta-
tions have been observed in other groups such as Disynaphia
which are not considered closely related.
In G. artemisifolia, we have seen a few papillae on the
base of the style which might suggest some relationship to the
Eupatorioids. Distinctions between the groups are clear,
however. One species often associated with Gyptis, Eupatorium
oblongifolium Sch.-Bip. ex Baker is definitely a Stomatanthes
(Robinson, 1970) in the Eupatorioid series having non-papillose
corolla lobes and occasional stomates.
Gyptis (Cassini) Cassini, Dict. Sci. Nat. 16: 10. 1820.
Perennial herbs usually with tuberous tap roots. Stems
erect, sparingly branched. Leaves opposite often becoming
alternate above, ovate to bipinnatifid, serrulate to deeply
cleft. Inflorescence usually densely corymbose or cymose.
Involucre of 16-25 lanceolate to linear truncate scales in 2-3
series; receptacle flat, glabrous. Head with 4-26 flowers,
corollas narrowly funnelform, strongly papillose on both sur-
faces of lobes, hairs and often glands on outer surface of lobes,
22
1971 King & Robinson, The genus Gyptis 23
cells of tube narrow with sinuous walls; anther collar with
mostly quadrate or short rectangular cells below, walls with
transverse or oblique thickened bands. Anther appendages
elongate with rather large cells; style base not enlarged, style
appendages with distinct usually pointed papillae, appendages
sometimes slightly enlarged; achenes prismatic, 5-costate, costae
and lateral surfaces densely setiferous, minute punctations in
rather regular transverse bands. Carpopodia very short, of very
quadrate rather thin-walled cells. Pappus of many setae, apical
cells of setae usually subacute or pointed.
Type species: Gyptis pinnatifida Cassini
Chromosome number not determined.

2. Leaves ovate with crenate or serrate margins.
4. Phyllaries with unmodified tips G. inornata
4. Phyllaries with densely pubescent and often much broadened
tips.
5. Leaves nearly glabrous, with some short hairs near the
margin G. alternifolia
. Leaves densely pubescent.
6. Leaves with short pubescence, blades elliptical-
lanceolate G. vernoniopsis
6. Leaves coarsely long-pubescent, blades often rhomboid-

the species is very close to the forms of G. lanigera having
narrowly oblong ovate leaf blades and rather spreading violet

A NEW GENUS, BARROSOA
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560
Among the species that can be roughly sorted into the Gyptoid
group in Brazil, there are two very distinctive groups. One, hav-
ing very broad achenes with many setae and indistinct carpopodia
and highly papillose style branches,is true Gyptis. The other
group, having more slender achenes with few or no setae, very
distinct carpopodia of large cells and rather smooth style
branches, is here named as the new genus Barrosoa. The complex
has been related to Conoclinium of North America. Barrosoa does
have conical receptacles such as are found in Conoclinium, but
Gyptis has only flat receptacles.
Barrosoa differs from Conoclinium by the acute tips on its
pappus setae, the very prominent carpopodia with large cells,
the hairs on the outside of the corolla lobes and the nearly
smooth style branches.
The genus is also related to Lourteigia of the northern
Andes and one species B. morichalana (Aristeguieta) R.M.King &
H.Robinson occurs in both Venezeula and Colombia. This is, how
ever, a plant of low elevations, occuring in llanos in the
Orinoco region. Lourteigia is a genus of strictly higher elev-
ations. Lourteigia also differs in the smaller cells of its
carpopodium, the less differentiated cells on the inner surface
of its corolla lobes and its always flat receptacles.
We take great pleasure in naming this new genus in honor of
Dr. Graziela Maciel Barroso, the leading authority on Brazilian
Compositae.
Barrosoa R.M.King and H.Robinson, genus novum Compositarum
(Eupatorieae). Plantae suffrutescentes pauce ramosae minute
pubescentes. Folia opposita vel superne alterna lanceolata
serrata vel crenulata distincte breviter petiolata. Inflores-
centiae dense corymbosae. Imvolucri squamae ca 15-25 subaequi-
longae 2-seriatae anguste lanceolatae subimbricatae; receptacula
convexa vel conica glabra. Flores 20-55 in capitulo; corollae
infundibulares, tubis laevibus, cellulis angustis, parietibus
sinuosis, lobis utrinque valde papillosis extus setiferis et
glanduliferis, cellulis interioribus brevibus ab inferioribus
valde distinctis; filamenta antherarum in parte superiore elong-

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (COMPOSITAE). XXXV.
A NEW GENUS, LOURTEIGIA.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
Six species from the northern Andes are here recognized as
a new genus related to Gyptis (King & Robinson, 197la), Cono-
clinium (King & Robinson, 1970b), Barrosoa (King & Robinson,
1971b) , and showing some microscopic resemblance to Fleischmannia
(King & Robinson, 1970a). Some of the species have been referred
to the section Conoclinium but they lack the conical receptacle
of that group. The most distinctive features of the genus
Lourteigia are the rather consistent presence of 20 flowers per
head, the distinct carpopodium of small firm-walled cells and
the extreme constriction of the achene under the pappus. In this
latter feature, the achene is narrowed to a third or less of its
normal width and the pappus which is easily broken off, has a
flat or even concave undersurface.
Some resemblance has been noted between Lourteigia and
Fleischmannia. Actual close relationship is doubted. The cells
on the inner surface of the corolla lobes of Lourteigia do not
have the projecting upper ends that are so distinctive in
Fleischmannia. In fact, the corolla lobes can hardly be called
papillose on the inside though they have recessed walls between
the cells. The cells on the insides of the corolla lobes are
not markedly distinct from those of the corolla tube as they are
in the genus Barrosoa. The cells at the base of the anther
collars in Lourteigia are obviously short and some have oblique-
ly or vertically oriented thickenings. The anther collars of
Fleischmannia have only transverse thickenings and any short
cells are not obvious.
Lourteigia R.M.King & H.Robinson, genus novum Compositarum

centes pauce vel dense ramosae. Paginae caulium et paginae

Species typica: Eupatorium stoechadifolium L. f.
Chromosome number determined as n = 10 (Powell & King, 1969).
It is with great pleasure that we name this new genus in
honor of Dr. Alicia Lourteig of the Laboratoire de Phanérogamie,
Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. Her work has
contributed greatly to the taxonomy of South American plants.
Our studies indicate that the genus contains the following
six species.

Recent collectors describe this plant as a low woody herb, for-
ming spreading mats, the roots large, and the calyx green, tipped
purple. Barclay & Juajibioy 8216 is said to have had the corollas
"lavender to almost white, deeper color in throat of tube, with
hairs". The plant has been found growing in dry desery climates,
in sandy soil, on rocky hillsides and dry slopes, in open deserts
and open grassy paramos, along disturbed roadsides, and among
sparse grasses and low plants in dry open flat areas with some sand
dunes, at altitudes of 1200--3700 meters, flowering and fruiting
in March, April, July, September, and November.
Material has been misidentified and distributed in herbaria as
Verbena microphylla H.B.K.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS TOWARD A MONOGRAOH OF THE GENUS
CALLICARPA. XII
Harold N. Moldenke
CALLICARPA CANDICANS (Burm. f.) Hochr.
Prain (1903) tells us that this species is "often cultivated;
occasionally naturalised in C[entral] Bengal. A large shrub;
native of the Malay peninsula", called "arusha" in Bengal. Uphof
(1968) reports that in Hindu medicine a decoction is made of the
roots, leaves, and bark and that this is used in the treatment of
skin diseases, parts of the plant are employed as an arrow-poison,
and in the Philippines a decoction of the leaves is used as a
fish-poison.
Vidal y Soler (1885) cites Cuming 1283 from the Philippine Is-
lands, while Chang (1951) cites C. I. Lei 731, as well as nos.
and/or herbaria whose names, unfortunately, he gives only in
Chinese characters. For some reason unknown to me, Chang in-
cludes C. americana Lour. in the synonymy of what is now known as
C. kochiana Mak., but most authorities, including myself, regard
it as conspecific with C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr.
The H. H. Bartlett 1711 and Kjellberg 96, distributed and in
the case of the latter also cited by me as C. candicans, are actu-
ally C. bicolor A. L. Juss., H. H. Bartlett 1698a and Quezon 1
(Herb. Philip. Forest. Bur. 30258] are C. erioclona Schau., and
B. C. Stone 3931 is C. erioclona var. paucinervia (Merr.) Moldenke.

CALLICARPA CAUDATA Maxim.
Additional bibliography: Moldenke, Phytologia 16: 363. 1968.
Sayers describes this plant as an erect shrub, found in regrowth
at the sites of old village gardens in New Guinea, producing
deep-mauve fruit. The corollas are described as "lavender" on H.
H. Bartlett 13211 and as "pale-mauve" on Sayers N.G.F.21)99. The
E. D. Merrill 1 "7115", cited in Phytologia 15: 20 (1967), is an
error in transcription for E. D. Merrill 8117. The Mearns &
Hutchinson s.n. [May 1906], “distributed as c. caudata, is | is actual-
ly c. merrillii Moldenke.
Callicarpa merrillii may be distinguished readily from C.
caudata by the simple hairs on the lower leaf-surfaces, but the
two taxa are obviously closely related.

Chang (1951) cites the K. Koch reference in the literature of
this species as "2: 336" and he regards C. taquetii Lévl. as a
synonym of C. dichotoma, whereas I classify it as C. japonica var.
taquetii (Léveillé) Nakai.
Sykes describes the corollas of C. dichotoma as "mauve" and
the fruit as “purple, globose, shining", questioning whether his
no. 202/66 is the "?same plant as no, 156063". Santamour (1967)
gives its chromosome number as n = 18,
Tatnall (1947) notes that the species was "escaped and well
established in a swampy thicket along Lee's River, Wilmington.
Locality long since destroyed". Radford, Ahles, & Bell (196)
aver that it is "rare in bogs" in Henderson County, North Caroli-
na, flowering there from July to frost and fruiting from Septem-
ber to frost. Additional vernacular names for the plant are
"ko-shikibu" and "purple pearl", the former recorded from Japan,
the latter from Hongkong. Ohwi (1965) gives its distribution as
"Honshiu, Shikoku, Hyushu, Korea, Ryukyus, Formosa".
Thornberry (1966) implies that the following fungi are known
to (or may) attack this species: Atractilina callicarpae Dearn.
& Barth., Botryosphaeria callicarpae Cke., Cercospora callicarpae
Cke., Coniothyrium callicarpae Cke., Meliola cookeana Soeg., Nec-
tria cinnabarina Tode, and Physalospora obtusa (Schw.) Cke., al-
though it seems most probable to me that most, if not all, of
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 35
these records apply to the native C. americana L.
Ohwi (1965) records the name "murasaki-shikibu zoku" for the
genus Callicarpa as a whole and keys out the Japanese species
known to him as follows: [nomenclature brought up to date]

Quezon describes this plant as attaining a height of ) Mey
growing in open cultivated areas, and used as a fish-poison in
Mindanao. Gibbs (1917) states that it is common at the edges of
forests and in clearings, flowering and fruiting in January. He
cites Gibbs 6205 and Lesson s.n. from New Guinea and Teijsmann
s.n. from Mansinama Island. He says "This plant is distinguish-
ed from C. cana L. by the large, more lanceolate, irregularly
serrate leaves, with very white pubescence underneath, and white
flowers with longer exserted stamens. C. repanda K. Sch. & Warb.
is possibly a synonym of this plant."

Chang (19815 elevates Pei's variety tospecific rank, assigns
to it a new epithet, C. peii, and designates a new type, L. Teng

the Botanical Institute, Sunyatsen. University, Canton. However,
it seems to me that under the present edition of the Internati-

mains the same as was originally designated by Ptei, viz., W. Y.
Chun 5828. Chang (1951) gives the following eeaied and ampli-_

A very interesting letter from my friend and colleagues, Dr.
E. H. Walker, dated July 26, 1968, contains a paragraph which is
well worth quoting in full here: "In 1966 you verified Field &
Lowe 6m as Callicarpa glabra Koidz. and in 1952 Walker & Tawada
6507 07 as the same. Both are cited in Phytol. lj: 236. 1967. In
general they match your description. Field & Lowe &m has flowers.
You describe the corollas as 'resinous pun punctate on the outside!
the anthers 'resinous punctate on both sides'. I do not find
such glands on the corolla, only on the anthers. In this speci-
men the calyx has a single row of relatively large distinctive
peltate scales just below the rim. The other specimen, 6507, is
in fruit. The calyx lacks the distinctive scales, the fruits
are glandular, the leaves distinctly narrower, and the branchlets
gray, probably simply having matured beyond the early 'dark
purplish or black' condition described. Perhaps these discrepan-
cies are not significant. I have adjusted my description,
based in part on yours (since you have seen more specimens than
I have), to the variations in these two specimens, except for
the peltate scales, which are ignored."

It is worth mentioning here that Masamune (1955) regards the
"C. japonica Thunb." of Maximowicz (1886), Matsumura (1899 & 1912,
insofar as Ryukyu specimens are concerned), Kuroiwa [1900, "p.p.
(sic mollis)"], Kawagoe (1915), Simada (1917), Wilson (1920),
Sakaguchi (192), and Makino & Nemoto (1936, insofar as Ryukyu
specimens are concerned) as applying to C. japonica var. luxurians
Rehd. That of Tasiro (189) he thinks may actually refer to C.
mollis Sieb. & Zucc. Sykes refers to his two collections cited
below as having had "mauve" corollas, the fruit "becoming mauve",
and fruiting in March. Recent collectors describe the plant as a
deciduous shrub, to 1.5 m. tall. They have found it growing in
2 PELY T,0 L0G, Ek Vol. 21, now 1
littoral scrub on Ishigaki Island, while on Miyako Island it is
said to be "occasional in Pandanus scrub on limestone", forming a
low bush 0.6 m. tall. The corollas on F. R. Fosberg 38312 are
said to have been "lilac". Hyland (1969) describes the fruit as
"purplish". Lawrence (1967) points out that the "deep purple"
fruits, which he erroneously refers to as "berries", begin to
color in August and drop off by October in the southern United
States. Santamour records the chromosome count as n= 18. An
additional vernacular variant recorded for the species ig the
Japanese "“ohmurasaki-shikibu", Hirata (1966) records the powdery
mildew fungus, Microsphaera alni, as attacking this plant. Ohwi
(1965) describes the plant as common and variable on the islands
of Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. He includes C. japoni-
ca f. angustifolia Miq. in its synonymy, but I regard Miquel's
name as a synonym of C. japonica var. angustata Rehd.
Ohwi (1965) keys out the Japanese forms of the genus as recog-
nized by him as follows [with the nomenclature brought up to
date]:
1. Plants glabrous or thinly pubescent; calyx glabrous, with
very short teeth.
2. Leaf-blades caudate, glandular-dotted on both surfaces......
C. japonica var. luxurians
2a. Leaf-blades acuminate to acute at the apex, glandular-
dotted on the underside only.
3. Cymes supra-axillary; anthers broadly ellipsoidal.........

5. Leaves 5--10 cm. long, rounded to obtuse at the base;

branches and petioles with pinnately branched hairs 1.5--3
mm. long; calyx-lobes linear; flowers about 1.5 mm. long,
very many in a cyme; anthers about 0.7 mm. long.C. kochiana
Chang (1951) regards C. longifolia var. subglabrata Schau. as,
in part, a synonym of C. japonica, but I feel that this trinomial
belongs only in the synonymy of typical C. longifolia Lam. He
cites A. N. Steward 57 and nos. 1631, 2617, 3303, & 1005) of col-
lectors and/or herbaria whose names he gives only in Chinese

Recent collectors describe this plant as a woody climber, 3—
5 feet tall, with a stem diameter of 1 inch, and black fruit,
fruiting also in June [in addition to the months previously re-
ported]. Tsang reports it as fairly common in dry sandy soil of
roadside thickets. Chang (1951) cites a no. 51357 of a collector
or herbarium whose name he gives only in Chinese characters. He
compares it with typical C. japonica Thunb., C. bodinieri var.
giraldii (Hesse) Rehd., and C. kwangtungensis Chun. Material has
been misidentified and distributed in herbaria as C. bodinieri

In his 1949 work, Hatusima regards the name, C. japonica var.
kotoensis (Hayata) Masam., as the correct designation for the
taxon here being discussed, but Rehder's varietal epithet was
validly published 2) years earlier!
Masamune (1955), Ohwi (1965), and Chang (1951) regard C. aus-
tralis Koidz. as a synonym of C. japonica var. luxurians and in
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa ks
this opinion they may well be correct. Masamune regards the "'C.
japonica Thunb." of Maximowicz (1886), Matsumura (1899 & 1912,
insofar as Ryukyu specimens are concerned), Kuroiwa [1900 "p.p.
(sic mollis)"], Kawagoe (1915), Simada (1917), Wilson (1920),
Sakaguchi (192), and Makino & Nemoto (1936, insofar as Ryukyu
specimens are concerned) as actually referring to this same var-
iety. Kanehira (1936) and Chang (1951) regard C. kotoensis Hay-
ata as a valid species, with C. antaoensis Hayata as a synonym.
I regard C. antaoensis as a synonym of C. longifolia Lam.
Matsumura (1955) cites the Maximowicz Zz work (1886) as "1887"
and Hara's 198 work as "199".
Recent collectors describe C. japonica var. luxurians as a
shrub to 15 feet tall, growing among other shrubs on open slopes,
in hedges along roadsides (on Okinawa), and common in secondary
thickets (on Yonakuni Island), at 100--150 m. altitude, flowering
in September, and fruiting in August (in addition to the months
previously reported). The corollas on E. H. Walker 8452 are de-
scribed as having been "pale lavender" and the anthers yellow.
Additional vernacular names and variant orthographies recorded
for the plant are "omurasakisikibu", "tosamurasaki", "tosa-
murasaki", "yakushima-ko-murasaki", "yakusima-komurasaki", and
"yakusima-ko-murasaki".
Ohwi (1965) says "July—Sept. Warmer districts; Shikoku,
Kyushu" for what he regards as C. shikokiana Mak. and "July—
Aug. Lowlands near the sea; Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu; rather
common" for what he regards as the true C. japonica van luxurians.
For the latter Masamune (1955) gives the - overall distribution as
"Yakusima, Shikoku, Kyushu, Itukusima, Syodosima", but other
authors record it also from Tanegasima, Kutinoerabu, Takesima,
Nakanosima, Suwanose, Takarazima, Amani-osima, Okati, Iheyazima,
Okinawa, hiinami-daitozima, Miyako, Isigaki, Iriomote, Sirahama,
and Komi.
The P. C. Hutchinson s.n. (Herb. Univ. Calif. Acc. 38.533-Si],

in Poland, while the U. S. Dept. Pl. Invent. 235498 was cultiva-
ted in eed from the seeds of J. L. Creech 508 collected in
Japan.
The Hatusima 201) and Nakamine 275, distributed as C. japoni-
ca var. luxurians, are actually merely vigorous specimens of typ-
ical C. japonica Thunb.

Ohwi (1951) keys out the Japanese species of this genus known
to him and his key (modified to bring the nomenclature up-to-date)
is reproduced on page 2 of the present installment of notes.
Chang (1951), for some reason unknown to me, places C. america-
na Lour. in the synonymy of C. kochiana, but it seems to me that
previous authors are correct in placing Loureiro's name in the
25392, 25807, 31600, 32434, 40488, 41202, 50049, 60088, 60383, &
86212 of collectors and/or herbaria whose names, unfortunately, he
gives only in Chinese characters. He describes his var. laxiflora
as follows: "A typo recedit foliis angustioribus oblong-lanceola-
tis 11—-15 cm longis, 3.5--4..5 cm latis, nervis paucioribus, utrin-
secus 6--8, cymis laxis paulo diffusis, pedunculis brevioribus 5
mm longis, pedicellis longioribus 2 mm longis". The variety ap-
pears to be based on H. Fung 2010) from Hainan Island, collected
in 1932, and deposited in the herbarium of the Botanical Insti-
tute of Sunyatsen University, Canton, China.

Because of the extreme rarity of this journal in libraries,
Chang's original (1951) description of this taxon is repeated
herewith: "Frutex 3 m altus. Ramuli teretes hornotini dense ful-
vo-tomentosi; annotini glabrescentes cinereo-nigrescentes lenti-
cellati. Folia oblonga vel elliptica 15--20 cm longa, 5.5--8 cm
lata, apice acuminata, basi rotundata vel obtusa simul paulo ob-
liqua, margine supra medium remorissime denticulata, supra costis
nervisque exceptis glabra in sicco nigrescentia, subtus tomentoso-
incana; costa supra plana subtus elevata, nervis lateralibus u-
trinsecus 13--16 supra conspicuis subtus elevatis; petioli crassi
1.5--2.5 cm longi tomentosi. Cymae diffusae sexies dichotomae 6—
9 cm latae tomentosae, pedunculis 3--5 cm longis; bracteae folia-
ceae lanceolatae 3--l; cm longae, 8—12 mm latae, pilis atque iis
foliorum similiter obtectae, nervis utrinsecus 8-10, stipitibus
8--10 mm longis suffultae; bracteolae subulatae; calycis stellato-
pubescentis vel puberulis, tubus 1.5 mm longus, lobi l-dentati,
dentibus subulatis 1 mm longis; corollae stellato-pubescentes,
tubus 1.5 mm longus, lobi 0.5 mm longi; stamina exserta, fila-
mentis --S mm longis, antheris 0.5 mm longis longitudinaliter
dehiscentibus; ovarium glabrum, stylo 6—-7 mm longo, stigmatibus
dilatatis. Fructus 1.5 mm diametro."
The type and apparently only known collection of this species
is W. Y. Chun 5121, collected in Hongkong in 1926 and deposited
in the herbarium of the Botanical Institute of Sunyatsen Univer—-
sity, Canton, China. The author compares it (in Chinese) with C.
kochiana Mak, C. lobo-apiculata Metc., and C. macrophylla Vahl.

Small slender bush or shrub, 0.6—-5 m. tall, erect, woody,
glabrate, sometimes rather straggling, rarely becoming a small
slender tree to 10 m. tall or even a climber [e.g., K. Larsen
10267], the youngest parts sometimes slightly stellate-tomentose
or glabrate throughout; stems to 6 inches in circumference and 1—
10 cm. in diameter at breast height, smooth except for a few scat-
tered pustules; branches comparatively slender, more or less tet-
ragonal, mostly weak and spreading, usually glabrous; branchlets
medium to slender, obtusely tetragonal, subglabrescent; each node
of both the branches and branchlets usually marked by a circumfer-
ential ridge or scar resembling a stipule-scar, most conspicuous
on glabrous branches; principal internodes 1.5--6 cm. long; leaves
decussate-opposite; petioles rather slender, )--21 mm. long, sub-
glabrescent; leaf-blades very thin-chartaceous or membranous,
varying from yellowish-green or light-green on both surfaces to
rather dark-green on both surfaces or lighter beneath, lanceolate
or broadly lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate or oblong, 6—18 cm.
long, 2—6.5 cm. wide, long-acuminate and often somewhat caudate
at the apex, more or less irregularly and very shortly dentate to
serrulate or minutely denticulate-serrulate along the margins (ex-
cept at the base), rarely subentire, attenuate into a more or
less acuminate base, usually glabrate or obscurely strigillose
above (glabrous or subglabrous when mature), glabrous or subgla-
brate beneath or thinly pubescent with simple or stellate hairs
(the hairs usually simple on the lamina and stellate on the larger
venation), marked with numerous, tiny, closely appressed, circular
or elliptic, concave, golden-yellow scales; midrib slender, often

more or less furfuraceous beneath; secondaries slender, 7--10 per
side, prominent beneath, arcuate-ascending, but often only very
slightly arcuate, usually rather obscurely anastomosing at the
margins; vein and veinlet reticulation delicate; inflorescence
axillary or supra-axillary; cymes opposite, solitary, short- or
rather long-pedunculate, 1.5--7 cm. long, 1--6.5 cm. wide, many-
flowered, dense or slender and lax, several times dichotomous,
often extremely loose-spreading with the angle of the primary fur-
cations about 90°, bracteolate, very much shorter than the sub-
tending leaves, subglabrescent; peduncles very slender, 6--17 m.
long; pedicels very slender, 0.5--2 mm. long; bractlets linear,
1--3 mm. long; prophylla minute, setaceous, pubescent or subglab-
‘rate; calyx campanulate, 1--1.3 mm. long, about 1.1m. wide,
rather inconspicuously 4-costate, glabrous or subglabrate, its
rim subtruncate, very shortly l-toothed; corolla infundibular or
hypocrateriform, purple, violet, rose-purple, or lavender to pink,
pale-mauve, blue, whitish, or white, its tube broadly cylindric,
about 1.3 mm. long, ampliate above, often somewhat granulose on
the outer surface, scarcely pubescent, its limb l-parted, the
lobes erect or incurved, oblong-lingulate, rounded at the apex,
usually somewhat granulose on the outer surface; stamens , in-
serted at the very base of the corolla-tube, exserted, pink or
yellow; filaments filiform, about 3.1 mm. long, glabrous; anth-
ers broadly oblong, about 0.5 mm. long and wide, the thecae
light-yellow; pollen yellow; pistil long-exserted and surpassing
the stamens (in ¢); style capillary, about .7 mm. long, pink,
glabrous, ampliate above into the stigma; stigma depressed-
capitate or peltate, white, about 0.5 mm. wide; ovary subglobose,
about 0.5 mm. long and wide, densely granulose or glandular, not
hairy, -celled; fruiting-calyx light, shallowly cupuliform or
patelliform, about 2 mm. wide, mostly subglabrate, its rim sub-
truncate, frequently irregularly split; fruit globose or subglo-
bose, small, mostly white when mature, rarely dark-pink, green
when immature, 2.1--2.5 mm. long and wide, glabrous, l-seeded.
This extremely variable and much misunderstood species occurs,
in its typical form from eastern Pakistan and India through trop-
ical southeast Asia, north to southern China and Hainan Island,
and east to Indochina, Malaya, the Philippines, the Moluccas, New
Guinea, New Ireland, and Queensland. It is widely cultivated and
has been introduced in Peru and Madagascar. The type was collec-—
ted by Pierre Sonnerat in the vicinity of Malacca before 1783 and
is deposited in the Lamarck Herbarium at the Muséum National d!'
Histoire Naturelle at Paris. Because of the abundant confusion
and misinterpretation of this taxon, Lamarck's original descrip—
tion is worth repeating here: "Callicarpe a feuilles longues.
Callicarpa longifolia. Callicarpa foliis longis lanceolatis sub-
dentatis, utrinque viridibus, corymbis parvis axillaribus. N.
Crest une espéce bien remarquable par la forme de ses feuilles, &
qui est presqu'entierement glabre dans toutes ses parties. Ses
feuilles sont opposées, pétiolées, longues-lancéolées, pointeus,
a peine denticulées en leurs bords, minces, molles, vertes des

d'un pouce & demi. Les fleurs sont petites, disposées comme dans
les précédentes; elles ont un calice court, presque tronqué ou 4
quatre dents peu sensibles; une corolle infundibuliforme & quadri-
fide; quatre étamines une fois plus longues que le corolle; & un
ovaire supérieur, dont le style aussi long que les étamines, est
terminé par un stigmate en tte tronquée. Cette plante croft
dans les environs de Malac, & mous a été communiquée par M. Son-
nerat." In his 1791 work he says of it "C. foliis longis lanceo-
latis subdentatis utrinque viridibus, cymis axillaribus laxiuscu-
lis. Circa urbem Malacam. h Fol. 8-pollicaria. Pl. distinctiss.
a Callic. japonica Thunbergii."
The species has been found growing in forests, high forests,
and rainforests, dense or evergreen forests, fairly wet open tall
secondary or virgin forests, clearings, secondgrowth, rainforest
regrowth, secondary scrub, small openings in rainforests, and open
slightly shaded spots in primary forests, on level land or river
gravel, hills and grassy hillsides, and slopes, along lanes and
streams, and at abandoned campsites and scrub-edge, from sealevel
to 2000 meters altitude, flowering and fruiting in every month of
the year.
Lei describes it as "abundant scattered shrubs in sandy soil on
dry level land along roadsides" on Hainan Island. Ridley (1909)
avers that it is "Common in the low country" of Malaya. Hoogland
reports it as "fairly common in low regrowth" in Papua, while Brass
says that it is "plentiful in rainforest regrowths" and "common in
rainforests" in the same land. Kanehira & Hatusima found it to be
"fairly common at the edge of rainforests" in neighboring New Gui-
nea and give its general distribution as "India through Malaya to
New Guinea, northward to Formosa", In Thailand it is said by
Smitinand to be "common along paths in evergreen jungle", Thaworn
says "common in lowland evergreen forests", and Boonchuai, Bunnak,
and Suvarnakoses all refer to it as "scattered in evergreen
jungles". Lau tells us that on Hainan it is "fairly common in
moist level land and clay soil of meadows". Panigrahi & Joseph
(1966) says that the species is scarce in Nefa and cites his no.
1497). Matthew (1966) records it from West Bengal. Deb. Gupta, &
Malick (1968) tell us that in Bhutan it is found on the "outskirts
of forests".
Watt (1889) says of it "A shrub of the Malaya Peninsula, Penang,
and Nicobar Islands"; Ridley (1923) says "Tropical Asia", Bakhuizen
van den Brink (192) "southeast Asia and tropical Australia", and
Domin "from Malacca through Malaya to northeast Queensland". Hooker
& Mueller (1870) regarded it as native and "widely spread over the
Indian Archipelago, extending into India to Khasia and East Bengal".
Ptei (1947) records it from Szechuan, China, while Prain (1903) re-
cords: it from "C[entral] Bengal; Tippera; Chittagong". Several
authors record it from "Prince of Wales Island", but it is not cer-
tain if they are referring to the island of this name in Penang or
the one in Torres Strait near Australia.
Some Types and Range Extensions in Hybanthus (Violaceae)
C. V. Morton
In 1944, I published a paper "The Genus Hybanthus in Continental
North America" (Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 29: 74-82. 1944). Since that
time two significant papers have been published on Hybanthus, one by
L. B. Smith and A. Fernandez-Perez, on the Colombian species (Caldasia
6: 124-136. 1954) and one, by Standley and Williams, on the Guatemalan
species (Fieldiana, Bot. 24 (7, no. 1): 72-76. 1961). At the time of
my publication I had not seen some of the essential types. Since then
I have studied the specimens in various European herbaria, especially
those in London and Paris. These studies did not reveal any mis-
interpretations in the paper, but two of the dubious species can now
be placed, leaving only two still dubious--Ionidium lasiocarpum Presl
and I. lobelioides Schlecht. My notes on types and some range ex-
tensions are here brought together, with comments also on three new
species recently described from Central America by others.
HYBANTHUS ATTENUATUS (Humb. & Bonpl.) G. K. Schulze, Notizbl. Bot
Gart. Berlin 12; 114. 1934.
Ionidium attenuatum Humb. &Bonpl. ex Roem. & Schult. in L. Syst. Veg.
ed. nov. 5: 402. 1819. TYPE: Cited merely as "in America
meridionali'; the subsequent publication of the nomenclaturally
synonymous name Ionidium riparium H. B. K. gave the type
locality as Angostura de Carare, on the banks of the Rio
Magdalena, Colombia, Humboldt and Bonpland. The holotype is
presumably in the Willdenow Herbarium, Berlin.
Ionidium riparium H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 5: 378. 1823. This is
a superfluous change of name of I. attenuatum, which is cited
as a synonym. The description is much amplified from the brief
one given by Roemer and Schultes, and a definite locality is
cited. The specimen that served for the description is in the
Humboldt Herbarium, Paris (no. 1643, from Angostura, Rio
Magdalena, Colombia); there is a duplicate from the Bonpland
Herbarium in the general herbarium in Paris. In my 1944 paper
I did not cite any type from H. attenuatus. The Paris specimens
show that the species was correctly interpreted.
Ionidium calceolarium Ging. in DC. Prodr. 1: 311. 1824. TYPE:
Mexico, Sessé & Mocifio. Gingins saw only a drawing. I have
now seen a Sessé and Mocifio specimen at Kew named Viola
calceolaria which agrees with Gingins'description and with
Sessé and Mocifio's own later published description of their
Viola calceolaria. This Kew specimen is here designated
lectotype. It is a synonym of Hybanthus attenuatus, and has
nothing at all to do with Viola calceolaria L.

Mexico. To be lectotypified as above by a specimen so named
at Kew. The name was presumably published in the first
edition which I have not seen.
Ionidium botterii Turcz. Bull. Soc. Nat. Moscou 36(1): 556.
1863. TYPE: Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico, Botteri s.n. This
species has never been placed. I have not seen the type, but
a collection of Botteri 319 in the British Museum is from
Orizaba and agrees fairly well with the original description,
except that the upper flowers are not subsessile. It is
likely that this does represent I. botterii, which is then
identical with H. attenuatus, which is well known from
Orizaba and adjoining regions.
Calceolaria mocinoana Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. 1: 41. 1891. A new
name for Ionidium calceolarium Ging.

Pl. Salvador 152. 1925.
Calceolaria brevis Dowell, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 33: 552. 1906.
TYPE: Volc4n Jumaytepeque, Santa Rosa, Guatemala, Heyde & Lux
3943! (us).
This species, which I reduced to H. elatus in my revision,
appears sufficiently distinct in foliage characters. The leaves
are small, not more than 8 cm. long, and merely acute whereas
those of H. elatus are generally 13--15 cm. long, and long-attenuate
at tip; the midribs and veins beneath are minutely but obviously
puberulous in H. brevis and glabrous in H. elatus. The range is
Chiapas (Sumidero of Yochib, Koltol Te', Breedlove 6231; Moel Ch'en,
above Tenejapa, Breedlove 10902) and Guatemala (Coban, Alta Verapaz,
Tuerckheim II 1354; Volca4n Jumaytepeque, Santa Rosa, Heyde & Lux
4435; Rio Frio, between Tactic and Santa Cruz, Alta Verapaz, Molina &
Molina 12248; Cerro Pixpix, Huehuetenango, Steyermark 50590). As
may be noted, the departments of Guatemala in which H. brevis occurs
are all different from those where H. elatus has been found, which
may indicate some ecological preferences.
HYBANTHUS CALCEOLARIA (L.) G. K. Schulze, Notizbl. Bot. Gart.
Berlin 12; 114. 1934.
In 1944 I knew this distinctive species in North America from
only a single collection from British Honduras, and suspected that
it might be an introduction. This is evidently not true, for the
species is now known from several collections from British Honduras
and also from Veracruz and Oaxaca, Mexico, viz.: Mexico: East of
Alvarado, Veracruz, Miranda 8513; northeast of Minatitlan, Veracruz,
King 1051; northwest of Zanatepec, Oaxaca, King 483; east of

HYBANTHUS CHIAPENSIS Lundell, Wrightia 4: 36. 1968.
TYPE: Carelas, Chiapas, Mexico, Matuda 5514.
I have seen no material. This is the fifth shrubby species known
from Mexico. It can be distinguished from the others by its
solitary flowers, small, congested leaves, and large capsules ca.
1 cm. long.
HYBANTHUS ELATUS (Turcz.) Morton, Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 29: 80.
1944,
In my revision I placed Hybanthus brevis (Dowell) Standl. as a
synonym, but a reexamination of the type and other material indi-
cates that it can stand as distinct. The true H. elatus is repre-
sented by specimens from Veracruz (Botteri 895, L. C. Smith 1840),
Mexico (Tequezquinahuac, Cerro de Azompan, Matuda 31181, US),
Ghiesbreght 47 (perhaps from Chiapas ?), and Guatemala (Finca
Vergei, San Marcos, Standley 68921; Aldea Fraternidad, San Marcos,
Williams et al. 26024; VolcA4n Fuego, Chimaltenango, Steyermark
52056; Volc4n Santa Clara, Suchitepéquez, Steyermark 46627; between
Finca Pirineos and Patzulin, Quezaltenango, Standley 87076; between
Santa Maria de Jesus and Palin, Escuintla, Standley 61293. The
specimen that I cited from Oaxaca (Conzatti & Cancino 2432) proves
on further study to represent H. verbenaceus (H. B. K.) Loesen.
I still have not seen the type of H. elatus,which is presumably
—_——_——_
in Leningrad, and so it is placed from the description only.
HYBANTHUS GALEOTTII (Turcz.) Morton ex Williams, Fieldiana Bot.
29 35500) L9G:
Ionidium galeottii Turcz. Bull. Soc. Nat. Moscou 27(2): 339.
1854. TYPE: Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, Galeotti 7085.
Hybanthus occultus (Polak.) Standl. Field Mus. Publ. Bot. 18:
ise 19387e
In 1944, I adopted the name H. occultus and regarded Ionidium
galeottii as a dubious species. However, I have now seen a photo-
graph (Field Museum no. 24006) of an isotype of I. galeottii from
the herbarium in Geneva, and this shows that the species is
identical with Purpus 13012, from Zacuapan, Veracruz, Mexico, the
type of Hybanthus purpusii Standl., which I consider the same as
the Costa Rican H. occultus (Polak.) Standl. Since Ionidium
galeottii (1854) has priority over I. occultum Polak. (1877),
the new combination H. galeottii was necessary.
Although I treated this plant among the herbaceous species of
the genus, it is actually usually a shrub. According to the data
on Skutch 2413, it is: "A shrub 2 m. high, with slender, wiry stems;
flowers white, with a yellow spot at base of the large petal."
According to Austin-Smith H796: "Open diffuse shrub with stems
1971 Morton, Hybanthus 59
over 1m. long; bark pale brown; leaves thin, faintly scabrous;
lower lip petal large, pure white." Steyermark 49639 says
"Shrub 3 feet tall; petals lilac-white; leaves membranous,
rich green above, pale green beneath.'"' These quotations show
that there may be some variability in the flower color.

Ionidium longifolium Sessé & Mocifio ex Ging. in DC. Prodr. 1: 31l.
1824. TYPE: Mexico, Sessé & Mocifio. Gingins saw no specimens.
There is a Sessé and Mocifio specimen in the British Museum
determined as Viola longifolia from "N, E.," i.e. Nueva
Espana (=Mexico). This agrees with Gingins' description
60 PH YT, 0.440 GBA Vol. 21, no. 1
and is surely authentic. It is here designated lectotype.
My 1944 disposition of the species as a synonym of H.
oppositifolius was correct. Mounted on the same sheet
is another Sessé and Mocifio specimen from Mexico with the
name "Viola linearifolia,'' unpublished name; this is also
a poor specimen of H. oppositifolius.
Ionidium parietariifolium DC. Prodr. 1: 308. 1824.
Ionidium parietariifolium var. houstonii DC. Prodr. 1: 308. 1824.
Ionidium parietariifolium var. berterii DC. Prodr. 1: 308. 1824.
The species I. parietariifolium was originally divided into two
varieties @ houstonii and 8 berterii. It is evident that var. @
is to be considered as the typical variety. It was based ona
collection from Veracruz in the Banks Herbarium (British Museum)
and on a specimen in the Lambert Herbarium from Peru collected by
Ruiz and Pavon. I designate the specimen in the British Museum as
lectotype; it bears the notation "Viola americana annua erecta
parietariaefolio flore oblongo" and was evidently from the Miller
Herbarium and collected by Houston. It represents typical Hybanthus
attenuatus (Humb. & Bonpl.) G. K. Schulze. The var. berterii was
described from "in Sanctae Marthae", evidently the Santa Marta
Mountains, Colombia, collected by Bertero. I have seen an isotype
in Paris labelled "Ins. S. Marthe, de M. Balbis cuilli par M.
Bertero, no. 35."" The "Ins.,"' i.e. "insula" is evidently an error
for "in,'' since Santa Marta is not an island. This specimen
probably represents H. attenuatus also, but it is dwarf and atypical.
Although a perennial, H. oppositifolius sometimes flowers the first
year from seed and therefore appears annual. Annual plants can be
distinguished from the strictly annual H. attenuatus by the
essentially glabrous stems, those of H. attenuatus being strongly
pilose in broad lines. This may now be reported also from British
Honduras (Mountain Pine Ridge, El Cayo District, Lundell 6661;
Augustine, El Cayo District, Hunt 117) and Honduras (El Zamorano,
Morazan, Standley 19009).
HYBANTHUS PROCTORI Lundell, Wrightia 4: 37. 1968.
TYPE: Between Pulay and San Juan Cotzal, El Quiché, Guatemala,
Proctor 25009.
I have not seen the type, but there is a paratype in the National
Herbarium: Nebaj, El Quiché, Contreras 5032. This is an herbaceous
species that will run to H. verbenaceus in my key, to which it is
not perhaps closely allied. It has much larger, differently shaped
leaves, and elongate pedicels.

locality other than "America meridionalis" was cited, but
1971 Morton, Hybanthus 61
the specific locality was given by H. B. K. under nomen-
claturally the synonymous Ionidium anomalum as "in sylvis

Granatensi," [i.e., near Turbaco, Department of Bolivar,
Colombia].
Ionidium anomalum H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 5: 381, t. 500. 1823.
A superfluous change of epithet for Viola prunifolia Humb. &
Bonpl., cited as a synonym. The description is much amplified
from that given by Roemer and Schultes. I have seen the
isotype in the Humboldt Herbarium, Paris, and another in the
general Herbarium, Paris, no. 1454 from the Bonpland Herbarium,
noted as from Turbaco.
HYBANTHUS SERRULATUS Standl. Journ. Washington Acad. Sci. 17: 312.
1927.
In 1944 this species was known only from the type from Michoac4n
or Guerrero, Langlassé 558. Mr. George Hinton turned up three
additional collections in his extensive explorations of western
Mexico: Ocatitlan, State of Mexico, Hinton 8587; Puerto Zarzamora,
Michoacd4n, Hinton 12716, and Vallecitos, Guerrero, Hinton 11654.

TYPE: Finca Los Alpes, Pila-pec, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala,

I have not seen the type. A specimen identified by Lundell as
probably this is Seamay, Petén, Guatemala, Contreras 6656, and from
the description it does appear to be the same. This is the sixth
shrubby species known from Central America. It does not appear to
be closely allied to the others, differing in its large, glabrous,
lanceolate, entire leaves, and its small, fasciculate flowers on
slender pedicels.
HYBANTHUS THIEMEI (Donn. Smith) Morton, Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 29:
81. 1944.
This species has been previously known in Mexico only from Campeche.
It may now be reported also from Yucatan, Gaumer in 1895, no. 855
(BM), without specific locality (originally distributed as Ionidium
brevicaule Mart.). It may also be reported from Costa Rica for the
first time: Vicinity of El General, Prov. San José, Skutch 3960,
3975 (both US).

Ionidium verbenaceum H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 5: 379, t. 497. 1823.
In my 1944 paper I did not cite a type for this species. It was
described from "in Horto Mexicano," i.e. in a Mexican garden. Since
this species is by no means ornamental and has no known uses, it may
be assumed that the original plant was naturally occurring in the
garden rather than cultivated. I have now seen the holotype in the
62 PB OY. 30-L/0sG toh Vol. 21, no. 1
Humboldt Herbarium in Paris (no. 4024, marked "Hort. Mexican."
It shows that the species was correctly interpreted in my paper.
The type is a small perennial, with the acute leaves cuneate at
base, ca. 2 cm. long and 1.5 cm. broad, bluntly toothed, with
about eight teeth on either side; the calyx lobes are slender
and pubescent and the labellum not villous; there are no capsules
present. It is similar to a specimen in Paris collected by
Brother Nicolas (s.n.), at Guadelupe, Puebla, Mexico, June 15,

Hybanthus linearis (Torr.) Shinners, Field & Lab. 19: 126. 1951.
Shinners has adopted the name H. linearis for the common Texas
form of this species, which has most of the leaves alternate rather
than opposite or verticillate. However, the position of the leaves
appears to be variable and perhaps not significant. Plants with
alternate leaves are also commonly found in Mexico, and one such
is Ionidium gracile Sessé & Mocifio ex Ging. in DC. Prodr. 1: 309.
1824. If plants with alternate leaves are to be segregated then
the epithet gracile has priority over linearis.
BOOK REVIEWS

"THE BOLETI OF NORTHEASTERN NORTH AMERICA" by Walter H. Snell &
Esther A. Dick, xii & 115 pp., 87 plates. J. Cramer, Lehre,
Germany, or Stechert-IIafner Agency, Darien, Connecticut
06826. 1970. DM 200, £29, 18s, or $55.00.
Such a beautiful, valuable work that it will be desired by
many! Such an expensive book that it may have to be bypassed by
many lovers of fungi generally and mushrooms specifically, of col-
lections of artistic plates, and of exotically attractive books!
For those who can garner the marks, pounds, or dollars there is
a wonderful treat in store. Basically following Singer's classi-
fication, 138 species and subspecies in 15 genera of the Strobilo-
mycetaceae and the Boletaceae are effectively keyed, described
and given both geographic and ecologic distribution. Their edi-
bility is considered. There are 16 plates with outline drawings
of spores, cystidia (mostly cheilocystidia) and basidia. There is
a good bibliography and index. Then there are those 72 truly mag-
nificent, natural size, natural color plates with over 00 paint-
ings by the senior author on them.
This work represents the only modern publication in this area
and a professional lifetime of skilled effort. It is regretted
that the still commonly used scientific synonyms and common names
are not included since this book will surely appeal to many more
than the professional and student mycologists. It is a must for
colleges, universities, botanical and related institutions and
all better libraries both public and private.

level for majors and non-majors who have had a preliminary semes-

is carefully enough explained not to be dependent upon that course.
As part of the trend of this day the content is primarily bio-
chemistry and human neural physiology. Of course, much of value
can be learned from this orientation, but there is almost nothing
of a holistic approach to the world of living plants and animals
until the next to the last chapter which is devoted to ecology.
There is no mention of any part of biosystematics. The book is
modestly illustrated. Page 1 shows three good black/white
photographs of the stele of root, stem and leaf but with no iden-
tification of the plant(s) involved; many texts tend to be careless
in this way. Questions at the ends of the chapters are often in-
telligent. The realistically short bibliographies there are also
good, but references to several common important works were
missed, such as to Ehrlich's work in the ecology chapter.
The "Teacler's Guide!! should be particularly helpful to begin-
ning instructors.
The "Laboratory Supplement" is well organized and suggests
some interesting activities. It supplements the text well.

MISCELLANEOUS ADDITIONS AND REVISIONS TO THE FLOWERING PLANTS
OF JAMATCA IT
C. D. Adams
ANTHURIUM (ARACEAE)

Type Collection: Wm. Harris 8833 (holotype UCWI), growing in
crevices of precipitous honey-combed rocks, near Troy, Trelawny
Parish, Jamaica, elev. ca. 2000 feet, 6 December 1904.
Paratypes: G. R. Proctor 9952 (IJ unicate), on partly shaded
limestone ledge, Tyre District, 2 miles north of Troy, Trelawmy
Parish, Jamaica, elev. ca. 1750 feet, 1; March 1955; C. D. Adams
6095 (UCWI unicate), on limestone cliff in forest, Oxford Caves to
Balaclava junction, Manchester Parish, Jamaica, elev. 700 feet, 7
Jamary 1960; G. R. Proctor 22975 (IJ), shaded limestone cliff,
vicinity of Auchtemb e, Manchester Parish, Jamaica, elev. ca,
1750 feet, 1 December 1962; C. D. Adams 12443 (UCWI), on steep
cliff, Cockpit, ca. 5 miles north-west of Troy, Trelawny Parish,
Jamaica, elev. 1750 feet, 4 April 1963.
Specimens of this species were earlier determined as A.
grandifolium (Jacq.) Kunth and later as A. venosm Griseb.; it
65
66 PHYTOL OG LA Vol. 21, no. 2
differs from both these in the rigid erect boat-shaped spathe
which is about as long as the spadix. It is restricted in its
present known distribution to a small area near where the bound-
aries of the parishes Trelawny, Manchester and St. Elizabeth meet.
DENDROPANAX (ARALIACEAE)
DENDROPANAX OVALIFOLIUS (Fawcett & Rendle) C. D, Adams, comb. nov.
Gilibertia ovalifolia Fawcett & Rendle in Journ. Bot. 64:
158. 1926. TYPE: Harris 9188, Lapland, near Catadupa,
St. James, Jamaica.
This new combination is the result of re-appraisal of the
value of the character of the articulation of the peduncle. When
given greater weight this feature relates D. elongatus Britton and
D. ovalifolius closely to D. pendulus (Swe) Decne. & Planch. The
mumber of flowers in an umbel is regarded as a feature greatly
affected by the age of the plant so that D. elongatus goes into
the synonymy of D. pendulus while D. ovalifolius can be separated
on the basis of leaf-shape.
DENDROPANAX NUTANS (Sw.) Decne. & Planch. var. OBTUSIFOLIA C. D.
Adems, var. NOve
Folia apice plerumque obtusa vel rotundata vel raro subacuta.
Type Collection: C. D. Adams 10693 (holotype UCWI; isotype
EM), Blue Mountain Peak, St. Thomas Parish, Jamaica, elev.
feet, 18 February 1962; "Tree 20 feet with crooked thick twigs."
Although the type specimen of this variety was made from a
gnarled tree with clustered rather small leaves and short inflor-
escences, the fact that the obtuse-leafed variant occurs also in
company with var. mutans in several parts of the range suggests
that it is not merely an ecad of exposed situations. There is
some purpose in establishing a name for this variety, but in view
of the lack of knowledge of causes of variation in the genus and
the close affinities of most of the Jamaican species, it might be
misleading to cite paratype and other specimens.
FIMBRISTYLIS (CYPERACEAE)
FIMBRISTYLIS HARRISII (Britton) C. D. Adams, comb. nov.
Stenophyllus harrisii Britton, Torreya 20: 83. 1920.
TYPE: Harris 12890, Old Ingland Falls, Blue Mountains,
Portland, Jamaica.
This rare and local plant is characterized by its dense
tufted growth consisting mainly of numerous slender scapes subt-
ended by reduced leaves. Inflorescences are small of few spike-
lets and nearly alweys viviparovs. Besides the type locality, it
is knorn from exposed hillsides on serpentine in the area of Arn-
tully, St. Thomas parish (Adems 1222), EM, Mo, UCWI) in associat-
ion with a number of other very rare plants in Jamaica including
1971 Adams, Flowering plants of Jamaica 67
Rhynchospora lindeniana Griseb., Phoradendron anceps (Spreng. ) Krug
& Urb. and Polystichum tridens (Moore) Fee. There are many species
in common with Cuba and Hispaniola in this local flora and Fimbri-
stylis harrisii may not be different from Bulbostylis subefimbriata
Kikenth. Williem Harris collected further specimens of this species
from the type locality on 3 March 1919; some of the duplicates of
this gathering which were distributed to other herbaria were
numbered 12098; the specimen in herb, UCTI is numbered 12908 and
this is likely to be correct assuming chronological mumbering as
the type (12890) was collected on 4 September 1918.
LOBELIA (CAMPANULACEAE)
LOBELIA CALEDONIANA C. D. Adams, sp. nov.
L. assurgentis L. affinis sed foliorum marginibus proximalibus
integris distalibus crenatis, capsulis non mutantibus; aL. fawe-
ettii Urb. corolla pubescenti differt.
Frutex caule flexili usque ad 1.5m altus; latex copiosus
albus erubescens. Folia oblanceolata basi anguste cuneata integra-
que apice acuminata crenataque membranacea tenuiter pubescentia
usque ad 28 cm longa et 7.5 cm lata, distincte petiolata. Inflores-
centia subterminalis subscaposa unilateralis pubescens scapo 5-7 cm
longo pedicellis mumerosis ca. 18 mm longis rectis, bracteis linear-
ibus ca 1 cm longis, bracteolis linearibus ca. 5-7 mm longis.
Ovarium turbinatum 6-7 mm longum. Sepala linearia minute remoteque
dentata ca. 13 mm longa. Corolla initio curvata longe secedens
4—i.5 cm longa pallide viridis. Staminum filamenta et tubus ca, 28
mm longa albido-viridia, antherae inaequales curvatae barbatae 8-11
mm longae. Stylus staminibus longior. Capsula cyathiformis dia-
phragmate apicali dehiscenti ca. 7-9 mm lata. Semina pallida pyri-
formia 0.7-0.8 mm longa.
aye Collection: C,. D. Adams 12547 (holotype UCWI; isotypes
EM, GH), on limestone rocks in montane woodland, Mount Caledonia,
Na Parish, Jamaica, elev. 4600 feet, 19 May 1963 (plant in
flower).
Paratypes: C. D. Adams 11629 (UCWI unicate), type locality as
above, 5 September 1962 (plant in fruit); W. R. Anderson & D. C.
Sternbe (DUKE, UCWI), type locality as above, 26 July 1966
plant in fruit).
This new species falls close to L. assurgens L. from which it
differs in having the proximal margins of the leaves entire rather
than furnished with filiform appendages; the stem is not winged by
decurrent leaf-bases; the pedicels are not recurved in fruit. It
also resembles L. fawcettii Urb. but the corolle is pubescent.

PALICOUREA (RUBIACEAE)
PALICOUREA WILESII C. D. Adams, sp. nov.
P. pulchree Griseb. affinis sed corolla breviore pallidiore-
que et P. croceae (Sw.) Schult. sed foliis plerumqe glabris et

2000 feet, 20 May 1896; W. R. Maxon 8678 (BM), on rocky forest
slope, Flemstead, St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica, elev. 1000-1100 m, 31
May 1926; G. L, Webster & K. A, Wilson 5139 (EM, IJ), John Crow Mts.
Portlend Parish, Jamaica, elev. 1000-1500 feet, 6 August 1954;
C. D. Adams 7475 (EM, DUKE, UCWI), in woodland, Greenwich Bridle
road, St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica, elev. 3700 feet, 6 July 1960; also
C. D. Adams 7486 (M, UCWI), 7910 (M, UCWL), 9383 (UCWI), 11926 (EM,
UcWwI), 1 se CUNT); M. Paste 32h, icery: Je K. New (UCWI);
G. R. Proctor 8076 (IJ), 23278 (IJ).
This species is rather common in submontane woodlands on shale
or limestone in eastern Jamaica. Palicourea pulchra Griseb., also
endemic, is its vicariant in central and western parishes. The
affinity of both these species is with the the widespread P. crocea
(Sw. ) Schult. from which they differ in having larger corollas never
orange or red. P. crocea is almost always quite markedly hairy in
Jamaica although towards the southern part of its range it becomes
glabrous; S. Moore in Fawcett & Rendle, Flora of Jamaica, Vol. 7
referred the plant now being described as P. wilesii to P. riparia
Benth. but that is generally regarded as representing the southerly
variants of P. crocea.
The collector, James Wiles, accompanied Capt. Bligh on his
second trip to the Pacific as a gardener. On returning to the West
Indies Wiles was charged with the duty of establishing the bread-
fruit plants first in St. Vincent and then in Jamaica which he did
successfully.

PSYCHOTRIA (RUBIACEAE)
PSYCHOTRIA DOMATTATA C. D. Adams, sp. nov.
P. corymbosae Sw. aliquantum simile sed foliis ellipticis basi
late cuneatis et corolla alba.
Frutex puberulus 2=2,.5 m altus vel arbor usque ad 6 m alta.
Folia obovato-elliptica vel elliptica basi late cuneata apice
breviter acuminata 4-17 cm longa 2-7 cm lata nervis lateralibus
utroque latere 7-11 subtus axillis caespitoso-pilosis pallidiora
nervo medio rubello. Petioli usque ad 3 cm longi. Stipulae sub-
persistentes in situ marcescentes dentibus binatis deltatis 2 m
longis. Inflorescentia puberula pedunculo viridi vel rubiginoso 2=
925 cm longo; bracteae bracteolaeque lanceolato-subulatae. Calycis
segmenta ovata 0.6 mm longa ciliata. Corollae tubus 3-4 mm longus
tomentosus eburneus. Fructus drupaceus atro-purpureus in sicco
bilobatus 5 mm longus et 6 m latus,
Type Collection: C. D. Adams 9375 (holotype UCWI, unicate),
in wet forest on limestone, Ecclesdown, Portland Parish, Jamaica,
elev. 1750 feet, 29 March 1961 (plant in flower).
Paratypes: H. A. Osmaston 5175 (HM, UCWI), in dense mossy
thicket, uppermost part of Big River, above Spring Valley Estate,
Portland Parish, Jamaica, elev. 3000 feet, 6 August 1967 (plant in
flower); also R, A, Howard, G. R. Proctor & Wm. T. Stearn 14757
and G. R. Proctor
This new species resembles Psychotria corymbosa Sw. but has
elliptical leaf-blades broadly cuneate at the base. Although the
inflorescence sometimes is tinged reddish, it does not have the
characteristic bright mauve or purple coloration of P. corymbosa
and the corolla is white.
PSYCHOTRIA PEDUNCULATA Sw. var. CAUDATA C. D, Adams, var. nov.
Folia apice caudato-acuminata. Inflorescentiae pedunculus
remi calyx corollaque pubescens.
e Collection: C. D. Adams 7296 (holotype UCWI; isotypes
EM, GH), Aenon Town to McKoy, Clarendon Parish, Jamaica, elev.
2000 feet, 26 June 1960; "Tree 15 feet; corolla yellow except
inside of lobes white."
Paratypes: C. D. Adams 9454 (UCWI), Union Hill, Moneague, St.
Ann Parish, elev. 1400-1500 feet, 25 June 1961; "Small tree to 20
feet; corolla very pale yellow; flower-buds yellow."; H. A,
Osmaston 5017 (BM, UCWI), steep forested cockpit sides, Jericho-
Garlands road, Maroon Town, St. James Parish, Jamaica, elev. 1800
feet, 12 July 1967; "Understorey shrub 2 m high; corolla white."
M. duQuesnay 312 (UCWI), woodland margin, Aenon Town to McKoy,
Clarendon Parish, Jamaica, elev. 2000-2500 feet, 28 April 1970;
"Tree 15-20 feet; corolla white; buds pink-browm,"
This new variety differs from typical Psychotria pedunculata
70 PEY. TO LOG; Dak Vol. 21, no. 2
in having the whole inflorescence including the corollas pubescent;
the tips of the leaves have a rather,long acumen.
RANDIA (RUBIACEAE)
RANDIA ACULEATA L. var. JAMAICENSIS (Spreng.) C. D. Adams, comb. et
stat. nov.
Gardenia jamaicensis Spreng., Syst. Veg. ed. 16, 1: 761. 182k,
Randia jamaicensis (Spreng. ) Krug & Urb. in Urb., Symb. Ant.
1s 42 ° 996
Randia aculeata in Jamaica is extremely variable in leaf=size,
hairiness and the presence of spines. This taxon accommodates
those variants which have the young vegetative parts and corollas
hairy; they do not seem to differ in any other way and thus do not
warrant more than varietal rank.
RHYNCHOSPORA (CYPERACEAE)
RHYNCHOSPORA MINUTIFLORA (Rich. ex Spreng.) C. D. Adems, comb. nove
Scleria minutiflora Rich. ex Spreng., Syst. Veg. ed. 16, 3:
31. 1826.
Rhynchospora micrantha Vahl, Emm, Pl, 2: 231. 1805. nom.
illegit.
Vahl described Rhynchospora micrantha with Schoems rariflorus
Michx. in synonymy. Besides being nomenclaturally superfluous at
the time, R. micrantha Vahl refers to a distinct taxon next descr-
ibed by Richard as Scleria minutiflora. I am grateful toMr. J. E.
Dandy for pointing this out.
RONDELETIA (RUBIACEAE)
RONDELETIA BRACHYPHYLLA G. R. Proctor ex C. D. Adams, sp. nov.
R. hirtae Sw. affinis sed foliis minoribus sessilibus vel sub-
sessilibus basi cordatis differt.
Frutex ramis gracilibus hirtis usque ad 3 m altus vel arbor
parva. Folia late ovata basi cordata apice breviter acuminata
extremum acutissima 2-9 cm longa 1.5-4.5 cm lata; lemina adaxiale
nervo medio hirsuto excepto glabrescens abaxiale venis pilis appr
essis. Petioli 0-3(-4) mm longi. Stipulae deltato-acuminatae ca.
5 mm longae pilis appressis. Pedunculus usque ad 4 em longus;
pedicelli 0.5-—4 mm longi; bracteae subulatae. Calycis tubus
ovoideus 2 mm longus hirsutus segnenta lanceolato-subulata 4 m
longa termiter pilosa. Corollae tubus 12 m longus temiter pil-
osus coccineus vel viridis lobi orbiculares 4 mm longi distale
glabri fulvi. Stylus exsertus vel inclusus. Capsula bisulcata 5
mm longa 6 mm lata temiter pilosa.
Type Collection: C. D,. Adams 12139 (holotype UCWI; isotypes
1971 Adams, Flowering plants of Jamaica pak
EM, DUKE), on serpentine rocks, Amtully, St. Thomas Parish,
Jamaica, elev. 2900-3000 feet, 24 Jamary 1963 (plent in flower
and fruit).
Paratypes: C. D,. Adams 13236 (EM, UCWI), type locality as
os 16 July 1970 (plant in flower); also G. R. Proctor 23304
IJ).
This new species resembles Rondeletia hirta Sw. but is dist-
inguished by the leaves being smaller, sessile or subsessile and
cordate at the base. Like many of the Jamaican species of
Rondeletia, this plant has a strong temlency to develop crimson
coloration in the vegetative parts, especially on the petioles and
the undersurfaces of the leaves. The habit of branching is much
affected by the physical situation; in the open coppice regrowth
develops erect shoots with large leaves; in the shade the branches
are straggly and the leaves smaller with often relatively longer
petioles.
RYTIDOPHYLIUM (GESNERTACEAE)
RYTIDOPHYLIUM GRANDE (Sw.) Mart. ex G. Don var. LABVIGATUM C. D.
Adams, var. nov.
Folionm superficies laevigata.
Type Collection: C. D. Adams 6786 (holotype UCWI; isotype
EM), collected on open rocks, near Burnt Hill, Trelawny Parish,
Jemaica, elev. 1300 feet, 8 April 1960; "Shrubby to 8 feet; leaves
mostly distal, lemon-scented; buds sticky; corolla yellow.”
Paratype: M. duQuesnay 17 (UCWI), collected in thicket, south
of Ramgoat Cave, Trelawny Parish, Jamaica, elev. 1500 feet, 10
December 1968; "Slender tree 11 feet; leaves dark; stems reddish;
flowers lemon yellow."
This variety is distinguished from var. grande by the smooth
leaves and the usually somewhat less branched inflorescence, Other
specimens, e.g. G. R. Proctor 16645, R. A, Howard & G R. Proctor
U418 and R, A, Howard, G R. Proctor & Wm. T. Stearn 14656 in
herbaria BM, GH and IJ exist but are not available to the author at
this time; they originated from the same locality and also extend
the range into the parish of St. James.
SCAEVOLA KILAUEAE VAR. POWERSII Deg. & Dege
Otto & Isa Degener, Volcano, Hawaii
Degener Nose 21,762 and 21,763, collected at "Keauohana Forest
Reserve, near Pahoa, Hawaii. Among scrub; spreading 2 ft. high
bush. Febe 2, 1952.", comprised such a curious taxon “with robust
leaves," that the collector suspected it to be a new variety of
Scaevola kilaueae Deg. Yet fearing the specimens might, after all,
‘simply represent plants of the species SeSe, especially robust be-
cause growing under conditions of exceptional rainfall and rich
soil, he left the many sheets lying fallow for nearly twenty years
in the herbarium of the "Museum botanicum Berolinense" in Danleme
Interest in the above was revived when Dr. Howard A. Powers,
geologist stationed on the brink of Kilauea Crater, Island of Ha-
waii and a keen amateur botanist, drew the attention of the writers
to a curious naupaka he had discovered. A few twigs were collected
and labeled as follows: "Degener & Degener Noe 32,441. X Scaevola
kilaueae X 5. chamissoniana var. bracteosa Hillebre Old look out at
Pauahi Crater, Hawe Volc. Nat. Park, Hawaii. In scrub at 3,200
feet within 1 meter of S. k. (D. & D. 32,442) & 1 km. of S. ce bd.
on Puu Huluhulu. Discovered by Dr. Howard Powers. (Collected by
Degeners) July 22, 1970."
Because of the resemblance between Nos. 21,762, 21,763 and
32,441, we believe the former two plants represent not a simple
hybrid like probably No. 32,441, but rather a more or less con-
stant variety of early hybrid origin. We surmise a plant like Noe
32,441 with its limited gene pool, if isolated for a hundred gener-
ations or so by surrounding veneers of lava in a kipuka (lava
oasis), would de novo evolve into a taxon resembling the new var-
jiety described below:
SCAEVOLA KILAUEAE var. POWERSII Deg. & Deg. Frutex 7 dm. altus,
ramis ramulisque | divaricatus. Folia rigida coriacea, 50 - 85 mm.
longa, 12 - 20 mm. lata, margine 6 6 - 10 serrato-dentata. Corolla
flava. This variety, represented by the type De Deg. & Deg & Dege Noe
211: 21,763 mentioned above and returned to Berlin for deposit, is in-
termediate between S. chamissoniana var. bracteosa Hillebr., and Se
kilaueae Dege, with features of the latter predominating. For in-
stance, it is a shorter, more spreading shrub than the former taxone
Its leaf size is almost of the former, yet the texture is leathery,
with only midrib showing on both surfaces and ribs showing faintly
on lower surface. The few serrate-dentate teeth end almost columnar
as does the apex of the leaf itself. S. c. var. bracteosa, on the
contrary, has subcoriaceous leaves in which ribs and veins are
prominent on both surfaces, and the teeth are more numerous and
more extensively distributed. The inflorescence in length approach-
es that of the former; though the flowers are less in number, about
25 mme long, narrow-lobed, and dull yellowishe

NOTES ON BROMELIACEAE, XXXII
Lyman B. Smith
KEY TO GUZMANIA AND SIMULATORS
This revision follows the same plan as that of Tillandsia in
my Notes on Bromeliaceae, XXXI, in Phytologia 20: 121. 1970. It
completes preliminary revisions of the major genera of the Til-
landsioideae for my monograph, Vriesea having appeared in XXIII
in Phytologia 13: 84. 1966, and Catopsis in XXVII in Phytologia
16: 64. 1968. Mezobromelia and Glomeropitcairnia with 2 species
each are too small to need preliminary treatment, but there is 4
strong probability that good corolla material will show the
necessity of transferring species now in Guzmania to Mezobromelia
Several species of Tillandsia and Vriesea and both of Mezobro-
melia have the flowers polystichous or in more than 2 ranks and
can not be distinguished from Guzmania with certainty without
good corollas. They are included in this key on the same basis
as that of the simulators in the revision of Tillandsia.
Guzmania has groups of species that at first glance appear to
be distinct but there are too many intermediates to permit any
satisfactory division into subgenera.
1. Sepals exserted, not wholly covered by the floral or primary
bracts.
2. Sepals high-connate into a slenderly cylindric tube, the free
lobes often conspicuously dilated (Sodiroa).
3. Inflorescence very laxly compound. Peru..........G. dudleyi

NATURAL HISTORY: OF THE BONIN ISLANDS
Otto & Isa Degener
The two volume work quaintly entitled "The Nature of the Bonin
Islands" and “Compiled by Takasi Tuyama and Shigeo Asami" arrived
as a Christmas gift from Dr. Tuyama Professor of Botany, Ochano-
mizu University, Tokyoe Dr. Tuyama, and Dre Charles Lamoureux of
the University of Hawaii, had visited at our home on the north
shore of Oahu some months before with a package of Bonin herbari-
um specimens for comparison with Hawaiian taxa. A chain=-smoker,
after our study in the wind-free house, we entertained our for-
eign guest out of doors, enthralled by his description of his plant
exploration in his chosen archipelago, known to the Japanese as
Ogasawara-jima. Due to our bombarding the group in August 1943, we
may remember that the fifteen or so “larger” islands with a total
area of forty square miles, are of volcanic origin and part of
Micronesia. They are not low, coral atolls with a monotonous biotae
We have prepared the present review for our peers as neither we,
nor you (we surmise) are versed in the Japanese language. The vol-
umes are in board covers, about 7 1/2 inches wide and 10 1/2 inches
high, and have an excellent quality of filled paper. The number of
pages, shown in Arabic, for Volume I comes to 271; but about a
score more unnumbered pages occur with maps showing often on grids
elevations, soils, rainfall, etc. The frontispiece is a colored
plate of a beautiful aerial scene of the rugged coastline, while
following it is a Pacific blue and leaf green two-page spread of
the entire archipelago in relief. Nearer the middle of the book
and beyond are four colored plates, one depicting nine gaudy ma-
rine organisms, such as bryozoons and sea urchins, and the remain-
der displaying an assortment of 56 typical marine mollusks. Be-
side a good sprinkling of black and white half-tones of geologic
and other diagrams, of photos of plants (some not too clear), of
prints of birds, this volume contains 32 full-page additional
plates in black and white. These are a mélange of scenes showing
the typical vegetation from an understory of Marattia to a shore
predominantly of Pandanus; from close-ups of the most interesting
Flowering Plants to "land shells," insects, crustaceans and dia-
grams of the commoner sea birds in flight; and human interest,
such as showing Drs. Tuyama and Asami with student assistants, of
village scenes, of outrigger canoes, of some World War II ship and
"plane wreckage and, at the very end a monument in good taste fly-
ing the Japanese and American flags side by side to the tragic
victims of a conflict stimulated by population pressureée
For us, specializing in the Hawaiian flora, Volume I is useful
as the scientific names of the Ferns and Flowering Plants (as are
those of the animals as well) are given in English, though the des-
criptions in Japanese are beyond our understanding. We can thus see
how closely the two floras approach each other. This hardly per-
tains to species, excepting for some ferns and some ocean dissemi-
nated halophytes like Colubrina asiatica; but certainly to generae

For the non-specialist, for those unacquainted with the Japanese
language, and for those for whom the Bonin Islands are little more
than a name, we do not recommend investing in this booke
Volume II is decidedly a "horse of another color." It is truly
outstanding’ There is no text at all; instead, there are 228 mag-
nificently executed colored plates comprising about 475 separate
photographs. Among the first are important views of Chichi-jima,
Futami Bay, andesite and marine cliffs, green olivine sand called
uguisizuma, agate, Tertiary rocks, semi-fossil snail shells, "Oni-
iwa, an ogreish stack," northernmost Haha-jima, pinnacled islets of
Harino-iwa, etc. All this is the groundwork for understanding the
environment for the Bonin Island biotae Then follow plates 43 to
130 comprising 213 exquisite color photographs of mostly native
plants, many so easy to recognize as they or their relatives are
likewise found in the better-known Hawaiian Islands. Some of the
identical species, for example, appear to be Ipomoea pes-caprae vare
emarginata, Cassytha filiformis, Calophyllum inophyllum, Psilotum
nudum and Neottopteris nidus. Personally prejudiced in noting the
occurrence of the same, uninteresting, horribly beautiful ornamen-
tals of gardens the world around threatening a fascinating native
flora, we regret Drs. Tuyama and Asami’s wasted film on the south-
east Asian Melia azedarach, the American Leucaena "glauca" now
found to be actually leucocephala, the American Psidium java,
the American Cassia (or as we "splitters" prefer, Ditremexa oc-
cidentalis, the African Thunbergia alata and its Indian relative
T. laurifolia, the American Schinus terebinthifolius, the American
Nicotiana tabacum beloved by Dr. Tuyama, an atypical African Hi-
biscus schizopetalus with Asiatic admixture, the more southern |
Codiaeum variegatum hort.e, the American Allamanda cathartica, the
American Poinsettia pulcherrima horte, the East ? Indian Bryophyl-
lum pinnatum, the American Agave americana and a variety of the
American Passiflora foetidae We should have so much preferred en=
demics or even natives instead. But that, of course, is a matter
of taste as the old lady maintained when she kissed the cowWe
Plates 131 - 134 show magnificently black fruit bats, not un-
like the larger brown flying foxes sampled broiled in Fiji by one
of the reviewers; the diminutive deer Cervus mariannus (note double
“n"), fleeing feral goats; and an example ple of erosion described as
"Patches of grassland, result of cattle-bite." The nine plates fol-
lowing of birds will delight the viewer whether he be ornithologist
or note Another plate shows the toad Bufo marianus (note single
"n"), not to be confused with the Cuban toad B, marinus naturaliz-
ed in the Hawaiian Isiands. Four plates are devoted to colorful
insects; about 25 to intricate corals, overlapping somewhat with
about as many plates devoted to fishes and marine invertebrates.
The last dozen or so are of human interest: scenes of a model vil=
lage, a meteorological station, a Christian (!) church, a schoo},
shipping of specimens and ships, a scene of the Metropolitan Gover=
nor giving an address, and very appropriately at the very last a
solemn "Monument of the war dead, Iso-jimae" One question, however,
bothers use Where are the native Micronesians? Did all fall victims
to the horrors of war, or were they evacuated never to return?
1971 O. & I. Degener, Bonin Islands 99
Pictures are well nigh a universal language; and Volume II con-
sists only of these, each with captions in Japanese and English.
This book we highly recommend to the geologist, to the profession-
al botanist specializing in plants of the Pacific, to the general
botanist interested in the plant world as a whole, to zoologists
of various disciplines, to the armchair traveler, and to the Veter-
ans of World War II who now can show their families and friends
the type of islands they defended with devastation and how Nature
in about thirty years healed the scars of human conflicte
From the Japanese blurb we cannot tell the price of the work,
nor whether sets can be broken. Due to the excellence of Volume II,
we hope the Hirokawa Publishing Company, 27 - 14, Hongo = 3,
Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, will soon publish an English translation
of Volume I for the sake of reaching a wider reading public.
BOOK REVIEW
Otto Degener
A Russian book in the field of Taxonomy is now available to us
English readers through the authorized translation by C. Jeffrey,
Senior Scientific Officer, Kew, England, of a work by Armen Takhta-
jan, Botanical Institute of the Academy of Sciences, Leningrad.
Dr. Takhtajan's "Flowering Plants, Origin and Dispersal" was
published by Oliver & Boyd, Edinburgh, in 1969, and sells for 4
2.50. It comprises 310 pages of which 31 are devoted to the Biblio-
graphy ("Scottsberg" should read "Skottsberg™) and 26 to the Indexe
Though this leaves but 253 pages for text, this is packed with in-
formation illustrated with 13 plates and 32 figures.
Chapter 3 begins with long established convictions held by many
of us that "The identity of the ancestors of the flowering plants
is a most difficult problem - - -e", and that "In spite of their
great diversity, all seed plants have so much in common that their
origin from more than one ancestral group seems unlikely.” Takhta-
jan then coneludes, in agreement with many other workers, that the
angiosperms arose from some very ancient group of gymnosperms hav-
ing primitive secondary xylem of scalariform tracheids and primi-
tive bisexual strobili. These last must have been large; terminal;
and with an elongate axis bearing spirally arranged leafy bracts
and leaf-like, pinnate sporophylls. The microsporangia and ovules
were numerous; the microsporangia free and the ovules without a
micropyle. The strobili in most cases were cross-pollinated by in-
sects such as beetles. The carpel may have evolved as an organ of
great survival value, protecting the large ovule from being eaten
and in general enabling it to become reduced in sizee

The mysterious absence of fossil remains of the earliest flower-
ing plants is explained as probably due to such groups having e-
volved rapidly in montane regions where conditions for fossiliza-
tion were far less favorable than in the lowlands where sediments
tended to accumulate.
Chapter 6, the longest, builds the first flowering plants via a
hypothetical reconstruction. Then follow "Living Fossils." These,
according to the author, are the Magnoliales, comprising the Win-
teraceae, Magnoliaceae, Degeneriaceae, Himantandraceae, Eupomati-
aceae, Annonaceae, Canellaceae and Myristicaceae Next are charac-
terized various families, somewhat reminiscent to us English read-=
ers of Arthur J. Eames" “Morphology of the Angiosperms," published
seven years after Takhatajan's "Origin of Angiospermous Plants"
and the same year as the latter's second editiono
Authentic angiosperm fossils are found only from the Harly Cre-
taceous onward. Their center of distribution was somewhere between
Eastern India and “Polynesia,” perhaps more accurately expressed as
"Melanesia." After discussing the differentiation of floras, he
deals with the evolution of the Tertiary flora of the Northern
Hemisphere. The Appendix. explains his ideas regarding the classi-
fication of the flowering plants; figure 31, a dendrogram of his
94 accepted, living orders, gives a bird's eye views
Prof. Takhtajan's "Flowering Plants, Origin and Dispersal” is a
quicker book to read and to absorb than is the almost contemporary
text book by Prof. Eames. Both books are especially suited for the
professional botanist and for the more advanced college studente

Sprengel, in his 1825 work, regards C. lanceolaria Roxb. as a
distinct species and places Ce japonica - Thunb. in the synonymy of
C. longifolia, but in his 1828 work correctly regards Thunberg's
plant as a distinct and valid species. Beissner, Schelle, & Za-
bel (1903), on the other hand, place Ce. longifolia in synonymy
under C. japonica! Schauer (18,7) reduced C. japonica to synonymy
under C. longifolia. Li (1963) gives a "C. pilocalyx Clark" as a
synonym of C. longifolia, but by this he unquestionably means C.
psilocalyx C. B. Clarke, which is a distinct and valid species.
The Callicarpa acuminata Roxb. cited as a synonym of C. longifolia
by Schauer (1847) is actually C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn., while the
C. adenanthera R. Br., also cited by him, is C. candicans (Burn.

Kanehira & Hatusima (192) feel that C. formosana Rolfe "does
not seem to be distinct from this polymorphous and widely distrib-
uted species [C. longifolia]", but with this concept I cannot agree.
Dop (1932) regards C. dentata Wall. and C. virens Reinw., each only
"in part", as synonyms BL a Pilg Cc. longifolia. Bean (1951) regards Ce.
longifolia as a synonym of C C. japonica var. angustata Rehd., but it
is only in "sensu Hemsl." that this is true. The Callicarpus ob-
longifolia ®@ acuminatissima Hassk. is C. pedunculata R. Br.

ing “Hayata says of his C. kotoensis as 'near C. pilocalyx Clark
and C. longifolia Lamk., but differs from both by the larger
flowers and less hairy leaves' When compared with large series
of C. longifolia specimens from all over tropical Asia, the Lanyu
plant cannot be specifically separated". I regard both names as
synonymous with C. japonica var. luxurians Rehd. Kanehira (1936)
regards C, antaoensis Hayata as a synonym of what he calls C.
kotoensis.

It should be noted here that the C. americana accredited to
Blanco and referred to in the synonymy of C. longifolia is actual-
ly a synonym of C. formosana Rolfe, that accredited to Lamarck,

It is worth noting here that Lamarck's original description of
C. longifolia (1785) is often incorrectly dated "1783".
Because of the great importance of Schauer's treatment of this
taxon and the various interpretations which have been accorded it
since that time, it is worthwhile to repeat his discussion here:

Miquel's original description of his C. lanata ® uberior
(1856) is "foliis e basi cuneata elliptico-oblongis, acumine haud
abrupte terminatis, semi pedalibus......Sumatra."
Merrill (1912) comments that the Cuming 1330 collection from
the Philippines, cited by Schauer in the above quotation, certain-
ly does not agree well with the original description of C. longi-
folia and "to me does not appear to be closely allied to Lamarck's
species", He therefore makes it the type collection of C. doli-
chophylla Merr., and with this disposition I fully agree.
When Schauer's two named forms were regarded as separate from
the typical form of the species, the following key was proposed
and used in the annotation of a considerable number of herbarium
specimens in many widespread herbaria:
1. Leaf-blades glabrous beneath or practically so, no stellate
hairs on the lamina of the lower surface; hairs, if present,
simple, or stellate only on the midrib........C. longifolia.
la. Leaf-blades more or less stellate-floccose beneath.
2. Leaf-blades very sparsely stellate on the lower surface,
chiefly on the midrib and larger venation.......es.ceccree
C. longifolia f. subglabrata.
2a. Leaf-blades more densely stellate on the lower surface, on
the lamina as well as on the venation............s2ceeecee
C. longifolia f, floccosa.
This separation, however, has not proved to be practical and I
now regard Schauer's f. subglabrata to be equivalent to the typi-
cal form of the species, as, indeed, it was originally proposed
by him. His f. floccosa, then, is the only one of his two forms
now accepted as worthy of being maintained. It was Hochreutiner
(193) who first pointed out that Schaver's form "subglabrata"
was actually "Varietas typica speciei" and not a separate taxon.
The Hainan material cited below has, in general, the leaf-
blades completely glabrous. Other material is merely subglab-
rous on the lower surface, with no stellate hairs on the actual
lamina, the hairs (when present) being mostly simple, or the
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 105
stellate hairs are confined to the midrib.
Callicarpa longifolia is employed as a hedge plant in parts of
India, and is also used as a fish-poison. Its bark is used by the
Japanese on the Johnstone River, in Queensland, as a substitute
for the betel leaf when chewing the Areca nuts with lime. Lam
(192h) reports that it is also used to check dysmenorrhea. Heyne
(1917) has this to say: "Rumphius geeft den naam sanka....opvoor
zijn Mamanira alba....., welke nog niet met zekerheid is geiden-
tificeerd en beschrijft dien als een struik, nist boven een man
hoog, wassende op magere velden, in het kreupelbosch en in verla-
ten tuinen. Van de wortels koken sommigen een drank tegen buik-
loop. De bladeren dienen als kraamzuiverend middel en, fijnge-
wreven met rijst en wat djinten in azijn gekookt, ter bevochtig-
ing van omslagen voor - of tot het verdrijven van - harde ge-
zwellen. Het gebruik van de bladeren van C. longifolia, dat mij
te Buitenzorg werd opgegeven, komt hiermede overeen: zij zouden
m. 1. de medicijn wezen voor wonden en zwellingen, die maar niet
beter willen worden. Ook de toepassing door Ridley....vermeld,
dat de bladeren worden gebizigt tegen koliek, vindt men bij
Rumphius terug in het gebruik van de wortels.
"Nog twee mijner aanteekeningen maken melding van inwendig ge-
bruik als geneesmiddel (een van een afkooksel en een van een koud
aftreksel van de gewreven bladeren), zoodat het verwondering
baart, dat deze plant zoo giftig is voor visschen als volgen moet
uit Indische Vergiftrapporten No. 201, indien temminste de opge-
geven wetenschappelijke naam juist is. Men leest daar, dat op
Siaoe de bladeren van den tama worden gebizigd om de visschen te
dooden, die bij eb in het rif zijn achtergebleven. Daartoe worden
de bladeren of fijngestampt in het water geworpen, of aan de
steenen van het rif gekneusd, zoodat het sap zich met het zeewa-
ter vermengt. De visschen zouden onmiddellijk bedwelmd geraken
en zich gemakkelijk laten vangen. Hetzelfde geval doet zich ech-
ter voor bij een andere (nog niey herkende) Callicarpasoort, door
Rumphius (IV, bl. 12) onder den naam van Frutex ceramicus be-
schreven als een heester, op Ambon onbekend, doc doch op Banda als
kajoe ceram in de hoven eeplant als vischbedwelmend middel. Hij
zegt, dat men de bladeren stampt in een korfje doet en afgedekt
een nacht laat staan. Man gaat daarmede naar plaatsen, waar bij
afloopend getij water is blijven staan en strooit het, al wrij-
vend totdat het schuimt, op het water; de visschen komen daardoor
dood boven drijven. Yoor de menschen en overige wezens is echter,
zegt Rumphius, deze plant onschadelijk, want de wortel wordt als
medicijn inwendig gebruikt, de bladeren worden door bokken en
schapen afgegraasd en spreeuwen en andere vogels eten de vruchten!
Pammel, on the authority of Greshoff, also records this species
as a fish-poison. Uphof (1968) says that it is "Used for poultic-
ing in fever and colic among the Malays".
It should be noted here that the type collection of C. javanica
is Zippelius s.n. from Java and that of C. attenuifolia is ; Elmer —
13536 from Mindanao, Philippine Islands. The Wallich 1835. 1, ci ci-
106 PHL TeO BOG Th Vol. 21, no. 2
ted below, and collected in 1822 on Penang Island, is a cotype of
C. attenuata Wall., the other cotypes being an Ahern and a Jack
collection not seen by me. The basis of C. tomentosa Thunb. is
the Thunberg s.n. specimen cited below and deposited in the her-
barium of the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum in Stockholm, while that
of C. longifolia var. acuminatissima is Ploem s.n. from Java de-
posited in the Buitenzorg herbarium.
Kuntze (1891) says of his C. longifolia var. pubinervis: "Fo-
lia subtus in nervis pubescentia ceterum glabra, sed glandulis
punctiformibus munita. Java, verbreitet. Der Beschreibung nach
gehort auch var. lanceolaria Clarke hierher, aber lanceolaria
Roxb. wird leaves very hoary underneath beschrieben. Unter var.
subglabrata verstand Schauer noch var. japonica OK. (Thbg. 178),
foliis glaberrimis." I am designating Kuntze 5166 in the Britton
Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden as lectotype of this
variety because this is the only one of the five specimens in
Kuntze's herbarium labeled as this variety by him which has the
Latin description placed by him after the name; it was collected
at Ngalindung, Java, at an altitude of 3000 feet, on June 23,
1875.
Lindley & Paxton (1853) also comment on the error made by
Schauer (1847) in uniting C. japonica Thunb. with C. longifolia,
and point out some of the obvious differences between the two
taxa, stating that in C. longifolia the cymes are smaller, the
calyx is firm and fleshy, and the calyx-teeth more conspicuous,
and that it is "a southern plant, much more tender" than C. ja-
ponica.
Chopra, Badhwar, & Ghosh (1965) report C. longifolia from the
Nicobar Islands. They claim that var. lanceolaria (Roxb.) C. B.
Clarke differs only in having the leaves narrower and thinner,
"elabrate and densely minutely gland—dotted beneath when mature"!
This, however, is a misinterpretation of that taxon, for, as
Kuntze pointed out, Roxburgh's original description calls for
the leaf-blades to be "very hoary underneath". In my opinion,
it belongs in the synonymy of f. floccosa Schau. The "var.
lanceolaria" in the interpretation of Chopra, Badhwar, & Ghosh
is said by them to occur plentifully in central Bengal and in
the Khasi Hills up to an altitude of about 3000 feet and that
"it likely possesses fish-poison properties". These same
authors describe the mature leaves of C. longifolia as "beneath
so closely fulvous stellate-villous that few of the glands are
visible", but obviously this applies not to the typical form of
the species but to f. floccosa only. It would seem, therefore,
that what they regard as typical C. longifolia is really f. floc-
cosa, while what they regard as var. lanceolaria is actually the
typical C. longifolia. They refer to the fruit as a "berry",
but it is actually a drupe.
Maheshwari (1963) reports that at Delhi the species blooms
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 107
from September to November and fruits from January to March. He
cites Maheshwari 663, taken from cultivated material growing in
the Talkatora Gardens of Delhi.
Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) describes C. longifolia as "A
slender shrub, branchlets, cymes and petioles almost glabrescent;
leaves lanceolate, minutely denticulate-serrulate to almost en-
tire, upper side glabrous when aldult, lower side almost glabrous,
except on the nerves; cymes slender, lax, rather long petioled;
calyx scarcely hairy or glabrous; corolla rose or whitish,
scarcely pubescent outside; ovary densely glandular, not hairy."
He comments about the f. subglabrata and f. floccosa: "It is not
possible to distinguish distinctly the numerous varieties, which
exist between the above-mentioned two extreme :‘forms."
Domin (1928) describes, but does not name, a "forma inflores-
centia valde laxa, divaricata, iteratim dichotoma excellens" from
Queensland, based on his unnumbered collection from "bei Yarraba
in den die Bachufer begleitenden Regenwilder bis 550 m empor-
steigend", collected in January, 1910. A note by C. T. White on
Brass 3969 from Papua says “almost the same as much Queensland
material under C. longifolia". Koorders (1912) tells us that C.
longifolia is found over "Ganz Java: Von 0--1700 m. ii. M. im
lichten Regemwald gemein aber zerstreut".
Junell (1934) notes that "Auch bei C. longifolia habe ich
einigemale beobachtet, dass die Teilung des Zentralkerns von
Bildung einer Querwand begleitet ist". Dop (1932), in speaking
of C. bracteata Dop, says: "Cette espéce est voisine du C. longi-
folia Lam. Elle s'en distingue aisément par les pédoncules des des
cymes beaucoup plus longs, les bractées foliacées. La longueur
du pédoncules la rapprocherait du C. longipes Dunn de Chine et
de Hongkong 5 mais les feuilles longuement attenuées, la calice a
dents trés petites, d* elolgnent nettement du C. longipes a feuil-
les arrondies ou cordées 4 la base et 4 calice divisé jusqu'au
milieu."
A wood sample accompanies R. S. Williams 2116. The Teijsmann
s.n. (Boeroe Kajeli] specimen, , cited below, is is interesting be-
cause it consists only of complete Lant-aioiatacaet The R. Fer-
reyra 076 collection from Lima, Peru, is doubtfully placed here
since the collector avers that its feutie were red and that it
grew in a stony habitat, with no hint that it represents culti-
vated material.
Vidal y Soler (1885) cites Cuming 1330 from the Philippine Is-
lands, but this number is the type c collection of C. dolichophylla
Merr., as has been pointed out previously.
Domin (1928) cites Domin s.n. [Harvey's Creek, XII.1909] & s.
n. (Yarraba, I.1910] from Queensland. Bentham & Mueller (1870) _
cite only a Dallachy s.n. [Rockingham Bay] from Queensland. Ap-
parently this was the only Australian specimen of this species
known to them. They describe it as "leaves.....green and nearly
glabrous or sprinkled with very short hairs above, more copiously
108 PHYTO b.0G dh Vol. 21, no. 2
tomentose and glandular underneath but usually green or very
slightly rusty or whitish." This description definitely points
to f. floccosa Schau. rather than to the typical form of the spe-
cies.
Koorders (1912) cites Pulle 3119 from Java. Bakhuizen van den
Brink (192) cites Atasrip p Lh, Lam Lam 20h9, and Thomsen 664 from New

The Elmer 20102 & 2002 collections, cited below, actually
show some of the lower leaf-surfaces more or less sparsely stel-
late, but this is usually only on the youngest leaves; the adult
leaves are glabrate beneath, so I am retaining these two collec-
tions here under the typical form of the species. The Elmer
15336 and Lei 114 also seem to exhibit intermediate characters.
In all, 38) herbarium specimens, including type material of
several of the names involved, and 5 mounted photographs have
been examined by me.

This form differs from the typical form of the species in hav-
ing the branches and branchlets more or less densely flacescent-—
or canescent-tomentose or canescent-—furfuraceous with branched
hairs, the petioles densely tomentose or furfuraceous, the ieaf-
blades more or less densely stellate-furfuraceous or hoary be-
neath, the peduncles and pedicels densely canescent-furfuraceous
or flavescent-tomentose, the bractlets pubescent, the calyx more
or less densely pubescent or granulose-puberulent, the ovary
densely granular-pulverulent, and the fruiting-calyx varying
from densely puberulent to lightly pulverulent.
Schauer's original (1847) description of this taxon is as fol-
lows: "@ . floccosa, ramulis cum inflorescentiae ramis calyce
foliorumque reti floccoso-tomentosis, foliis adultis super& pa-
gin glabratis infer& vero floccis stellaribus sparsis nunc rari-
oribus nunc crebrioribus indutis quin subcinereo-tomentosis. —-

The C. acuminata Roxb., which Schauer includes in the synonymy
of this form, is actually a synonym of C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn.,
while the C. adenanthera R. Br., which he also includes here, is
a synonym of C. candicans (Burn. f.) Hochr. His Australian record
must therefore be discounted and the R. Brown collection removed
from the list of cotype collections which typify the trinomial.
Recent collectors describe the plant as a bush, subshrub, or
small to tall shrub, 1--5 m. tall, or rarely a small tree, 6--15
m. tall, the trunk usually only about 2 cm. in diameter, but some-
times attaining a girth of 12.8 cm., the leaves dark-green above,
pale-green beneath, the flowers pubescent, buds green, anthers
yellow, and the fruit green when young, white when mature [or
"purple" on Wang 36335, probably an error in transcription]. It
hzs been found in forests, dense or open forests, primary or sec-
ondary forests, evergreen forests or light woods, forests near
boulder creeks, secondgrowth jungles, thickets, open thickets, etc.

flowered inflorescences, and flowers with linear-lanceate sepals
(3 X 0.6-0.8 mm) and non-inflated ventral appendages on the

well-developed panicles, and oblong-subulate calyx lobes; and E.

long-produced in the large stamens, and styles glandular-pilose.
All three suggested relatives share with E. confertiflora the
feature of glabrous 3-celled ovaries; the other two species of
Ernestia having this ovarial feature, E. glandulosa Gleason and
E. cordifolia Berg ex Triana, are more distantly related.
TIBOUCHINA RIGIDULA (Naud.) Wurdack, comb. nov.
Lasiandra rigidula Naud., Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot. 13:
150. 1850.
Cogniaux evidently followed Triana's lead in synonymizing
Naudin's species under T. aemula (pe. ) Cogn.; the latter is
quite a different species vegetatively and in floral structure.
Naudin's remarks about the affinities with Lasiandra fontanesiana
(Bonpl.) DC. are quite true. ‘The species may be characterized by
the finely strigulose upper leaf surfaces (not at all bullate),
roughened erect hairs on the lower leaf surfaces, slightly
roughened hypanthial hairs, moderately villose-lanate (the hairs
caducously gland-tipped) filaments, and the nearly glabrous
style; probably the best placement in Cogniaux' monograph would
be (ex char.) near T. formosa Cogn. The type locality for T.
rigidula, "Villa Principe", is equivalent to present-day Serro
in Minas Gerais between Itabira and Diamantina; a recent collec-
tion from the same region is Irwin, Maxwell, & Wasshausen 20331
(Serra do Cipé, km 132 ca. 153 km north of Belo Horizonte).
Macbride photograph 36149 is of the holotype of Lasiandra
rigidula, the collection without number; a duplicate (P) has the
St. Hilaire number Bl 996.
Incidentally, I am exceedingly skeptical that T. aemula,
T. valtheri Cogn., and T. adamantinensis Brade can be distin-
guished from one another; indeed, one Vauthier collection cited
by Cogniaux as T. aemula (Vauthier s.n., P) comes from the type
locality, Marianna (M. Gerais) of T. valtheri; at Paris I noted
that Mexia 5703 and 5788 are good matches for the type collectim
of T. valtheri. Unfortunately no detailed notes were taken at
Munich on the holotype (Macbride photograph 6347) of T. aemula.
TIBOUCHINA VIMINEA (D. Don) Cogn.
The only Don-annotated material seen is a specimen in the
Fielding Herbarium at Oxford, also annotated by Joseph Hooker;
the locality data are "Brazil" and "Liverpool"(?), with no
collector indicated. At Munich are two sheets of cultivated
material (Presl Herb. s.n. and Hort. Monac. s.n.), both showing
somewhat more robust plants than the Oxford collection. A wild
collection which is an excellent match for the Fielding Hertrium
specimen is L. B. Smith 1532 (Soberbo-Guapy, Organ Mountains,
Rio de Janeiro).

Monochaetum meridense shows stamen dimorphism similar to
that in M. magdalenense, but has smooth trichomes, 5-plinerved
leaves, and sparsely strigulose hypanthia. Monochaetum
laxifolium has barbellate pubescence, but much smaller leaf
blades, sparsely strigulose hypanthia, eciliate sepals, and
Subisomorphic stamens which are all fertile. Monochaetum
uberrimm Sandwith, the holotype of which (K) has been examined,
differs from M. dalenense in the smooth hairs, smaller 5-
plinerved leaves (out perhaps immature on the holotype), sparsely
strigulose hypanthia, relatively longer appendages on the large
stamen connectives, and at least semifertile small stamens.
118 PHYTOL? Gres Vol. 21, no. 2
Directly involved with M. wbereuum are two recent Magdalena
collections (Romero Castaneda oot from San Sebastian de Rabago;
Cuatrecasas & Romero Castaneda 24706, from Cancurua), with
smooth pubescence, large leaves, glabrous hypanthia, and semi-
sterile anthers in the smaller stamens; further study seems
stymied until topotypical collections of M. uberrimum appear.
For the present, the strongly roughened pubescence of M.
magdalenense distinguishes it from all other taxa with deciduous
sepals treated by Gleason (and also M. gleasonianum Wurdack)
except M. laxifolium (Am. Jour. Bot. 16: 519-522. 1929).

Graffenrieda tamana has leaf blades which are basally
nerved and not decurrent on the petioles, as well as pedicellate
flowers; the other close relative, G. emarginata (R. & P.)
Triana has basally cordulate leaf blades and defined granulose-
pinoid pubescence. From both species, G. uribei differs in the
sparse simple pubescence on the lower leaf surfaces. Arcabuco
evidently is a pocket of species endemicity (see also Monochaetun
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 119
uribei subsp. arcabucense Wurdack) which Padre Uribe is sampling
admirably.
MICONIA AMACURENSIS Wurdack
Wachenheim 100 (P), from Crique Jacques, French Guiana,
agrees with Venezuelan and Brazilian collections of M. amacurensis
in all essential features, differing only in the shallowly and
distantly undulate-denticulate leaf margins. This collection
gives M. amacurensis a more continuous known distribution along
the aretapear th coast of South America (Phytologia 18: 150.
1969).
MICONIA INAEQUALIFOLIA Triana
The holotype (K) is comparable with several recent Colombian
(Schultes & Cabrera 16685 and 19825, both from Jinogojée, Rfo
Apaporis, Amazonas-Vaupes, fruiting) and Brazilian (Krukoff 8936
from Sao Paulo de Olivenga, Amazonas, in bud) collections. The
Brazilian material was mentioned by Gleason in the original
description of M. filamentosa Gleason and indeed that species
may well be only a minor variant of M. inaequalifolia with leaf
blades 3-nerved and tapering to a narrowly rotund base. WNo
floral differences are evident between the species, the ovaries
of both being predominantly 3-celled despite Gleason's descrip-
tion (Bull. Torrey Club 65: 579. 1938). The Colombian collec-
tions of M. inaequalifolia had earlier been cited by me under
M. filamentosa (Rhodora 65: 19. 1963). Another variant in this
complex (with slightly larger flowers, more prominent external
calyx teeth, and slightly different connective appendages on
the large stamens, but foliage as in M. filamentosa) has twice
been collected in subandean Colombia (Rfo Ortequaza, Caqueta,
Cuatrecasas & Soderstrom 27146; Solano, Putumayo, Little & Little
g7he) and should perhaps also be compared (ex char.) with
M. sprucei Triana.

Strangely enough, both sheets (US, VEN) examined of Pittier
13020 had been correctly determined by Pittier in Miconia, the
description in Clidemia thus an apparent lapsus; the Caracas
specimen shows young lateral growth overtopping the morpho-
logically truly terminal inflorescence. As is to be noted in
detail elsewhere, the Bonpland holotype of M. ibaguensis was
actually collected in Hio. Sucre, Venezuela, rather than
Colombia.

Paratype (topotypical): McDaniel 10780 (fruiting),
k Aug. 1968.
Miconia decipiens, endemic to Colombia (Antioquia), has
5-plinerved leaf blades with short (ca. 1 cm long) petioles, as
well as glabrous ovary apices. The general vegetative aspect
and stamens of M. macdanielii are rather like those in M.
stelligera Cogn. sens. lat., which has rather smaller leaf
blades with sparser lower surface pubescence, a somewhat
different inflorescence pattern, petals moderately stellulate-
puberulous outside, and moderately stellulate-puberulous ovary
apices; also there is a different size distribution of vegeta-
tive pubescence, even considering the variants earlier discussed
by me (Phytologia 9: 417. 1964). Vegetatively, especially in
leaf venulation (but not in reproductive features), M. dispar
Benth. (with however denser foliar pubescence) resembles M.
macdanielii. In the Flora of Peru, M. macdanielii would
perhaps key to near M. zubenetana Macbride, which really is not
closely related, having leaf blades essentially glabrous except
for the very fine stellulate hairs on the primary veins beneath,
smaller flowers, and basally prolonged anther connectives. The
taxonomic impprtance of the glandular inflorescence hairs is
perhaps minimal, such hairs being almost completely absent in
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 121
the fruiting paratype.
MICONIA SHATTUCKII Standley
Long considered endemic to Barro Colorado Island, Panama
(a recent topotype being Ebinger 198), M. shattuckii is now
recorded for Colombia (Haught 4927, from Turbo, Antioquia, elev.
200 m). ‘The recent collections have provided floral details:
hypanthium 2-2.3 mm long, sparsely puberulous with pinoid hairs
0.1-0.2 mm long; calyx tube 0.5 mm long, the broadly ovate
interior lobes 0.2 mm high, the minute external teeth infra-
marginal; torus within sparsely glandular-puberulous; petals
4,2-4.3 X 2.3 mm, obovate-oblong with rounded apex, glabrous;
stamens isomorphic, glabrous; filaments 3 mm long; thecae 1.9-
2 X 0.6 X 0.5 m, oblong, with a minute dorsally tipped pore;
connective neither prolonged nor appendaged; stigma truncate,
not expanded; style 5.3 X 0.4 m, sparsely glandular-puberulous
(the hairs ca. 0.2 mm long) at the base; ovary 5-celled, 3/4
inferior, with a sparsely glandular-puberulous apex. The
flexuous cauline hairs are sparsely barbellate and very minutely
and caducously gland-tipped. Obviously M. shattuckii should be
Placed in Sect. Amblyarrhena and in Cogniaux'’ Monograph would
key to ca. species 361-363, differing from all these in vegeta-
tive and floral details.
MICONIA OBSCURA (Bonpl.) Dc. .
Miconia trichrona Macbride, Field Mus. Publ. Bot. 4: 183.
1929.
The type (Bonpland ex herb. Adrien Jussieu, P) and isotype
(P) of M. obscura, not annotated by Naudin, Triana, or Cogniaux,
have been compared with an isot (US) of M. trichrona.
Weberbauer 6309 (Cajamarca, Peru) and Maguire & Maguire 44360
(Zamora, Ecuador) match the isotype of M. obscura. The species
is very closely related to M. capitellata Cogn., which has
sparsely barbellate (rather than essentially smooth) cauline
pubescence, obtusely based plinerved (rather than rounded and
basally nerved) leaf blades with somewhat finer pubescence on
the upper surfaces, and larger flowers (anthers 2.1-2.3 mm long,
dry, rather than 1.2-1.5[-1.7] mm; petals 2-2.1 mm wide rather
than 1.5-1.8 mm; stigma 1 mm diam., rather than 0.5-0.7 mm). A
ood match for the type of M. capitellata (P) is Jameson s. n.
(us). In both species, the style is loose-strigulose, the fila-
ments glabrous or very sparsely glandular-puberulous on the
adaxial side, and the ovary apex moderately setulose. The
hierarchal resolutions of other parts of this complex, including
M. aggregata Gleason and M. hamata Cogn., are still pending.
The species problem had been discussed in Mem. N. Y. Bot. Gard.
16(1): 20-21. 1967.

After considerable meandering through the large specimen
welter in this complex, supplemented by examination of Bonpland's
(P) and Don's (MA, OXF) type collections, I cannot see any real
differences in the two taxa. As mentioned by Williams, C.
neglecta is intermediate between C. capitellata and C. dependens
Don, but his key characters of inflorescence branching and
underleaf pubescence do not obtain for the type collections.
For C. capitellata in the Flora de Venezuela, only the typical
variety, var. dependens (Don) Macbride, and var. leyelii Wurdack
will be recognized. Among modern collections, the best matches
(all US) for the types are: C. capitellata var. capitellata,
Uribe 3727, from Guaduas (old trail to Honda, the type locality}
Cundinamarca, Colombia; C. neglecta, Buchtien 1149, Mapiri
region, Bolivia; C. dependens, Tonduz L561, Boruca, Costa Rica
and Prance, Rodrigues, Ramos, & Farias 8857, Mutumparand,
Rondonia, Brazil. Some collections from over a wide geographic
range have smaller flowers in very well branched inflorescences
and perhaps will require further infraspecific recognition.
For the present, Naudin's comments (Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot.
17: 317. 1852) are echoable: "quod tamen posteris solvendum
relinquimus."
The location of the Pavon holotypes of the melastomes
described by David Don remains problematic. At both the British
Museum (Natural History) and Oxford (Fielding Herbarium) are
specimens annotated with Don's binomials and "D. Don in Wern.
Trans."; the minute handwriting is not that of David Don and has
not been immediately identifiable (personal correspondence) by
Mrs. Hortense Miller from her research on the Lambert Herbarium
(Taxon 19: 489-553. 1970). ‘Thus the current references to Don's
type collections are to presumed isotypes. Don's personal
herbarium went to the Linnean Society in London but subsequently
was purchased by von Martius (Lot 254, Catal. Nat. Hist. Colls.
sold by the Linnean Society through J. C. Stevens) on Nov. 10,
1863. However, none of the critical melastome specimens were
found at either Brussels or Munich during my European trip in
1969-70, so perhaps Don did not incorporate such materials into
his personal collection from his tenure as curator of the
Lambert Herbarium. On one of the two Fielding Herbarium iso-
types of Clidemia neglecta was penciled (by Mrs. Clokie?)
"Herb. Prescott"; Mrs. Miller is inclined to believe (because
of the date of Prescott's death) that this sheet probably did
not come originally from Don or Lambert. Investigation into
the melastome facet of the Lambert-Don history is being
continued by Mrs. Miller.
CLIDEMIA STRIGILLOSA (Sw.) DC.
Clidemia umbonata DC., Prodr. 3: 158. 1828.
From the pubescence, well-developed interior calyx lobes
and external teeth, non-prolonged anther connectives, and
glandular-setulose ovary apices, the Martius type (m) of C.
umbonata seems to represent a form of C. strigillosa with lax
fruiting inflorescences. The type collection is from Nogueira,
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 123
the Macbride photograph (6439) being of another gathering.
Some of the central Brazilian material cited by Cogniaux as
C. wmbonata really represents a dodecandrous relative of
C. bullosa DC. (sensu Wurdack); a phytogeographic aberrancy of
this undescribed taxon has also been collected in Venezuela (El
Paito, Carabobo, B. Trujillo 4835-Herb. Maracay). Because of
complications with C. biserrata DC. (the current Brazilian
specimens, including collections cited by Cogniaux, showing
stamen numbers of 10-15 and ovary apices sparsely glandular-
setulose as well as stellulate-puberulous) and C. bullosa
(pleiostemonous, with ovary apices lacking glandular setulae),
this taxon (including Braga 1048 from Parana, Pohl 1172 from
Minas Gerais, and Macedo 1449 from Goias in Brazil; Rojas 3649
and (Es Cristobal, & Ahumada 14257 from Paraguay;
Trujillo 35, vide supra) has not been further evaluated.
CLIDEMIA URCEOLATA DIC.
As already indicated, C. neglecta D. Don is part of the
C. capitellata complex. However, the species treated by
Cogniaux as C. "neglecta" is distinct and well typified by the
Martius collection (M) of C. urceolata from Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. The Raddi collections (FI) cited (Mem. Mod. 20: 161.
1829) as Leandra strigillosa (Sw.) Raddi are actually C.
urceolata, rather than (as cited by Cogniaux in synonymy)
C. umbonata DC. In typical form, the species is known from
Honduras (Molina 328, 10096, 14133; Williams & Molina 23255;
Meyer 9920), British Honduras (Bartlett 11300; Lundell 6870;
Hunt 210), Panama (Ebinger 424), Cuba, Venezuela (Carabobo,
Nueva Esparta, Bolfvar), Trinidad, Colombia, and most of
southeastern Brazil. Upland Guayana Highland (Venezuela) and
Santander (Colombia) collections are aberrant (and probably
infraspecifically distinct), having upper leaf surfaces
moderately stellulate-puberulous and very sparsely glandular-
setulose, lower leaf surfaces and hypanthia very densely
stellate-puberulous, and ovary apices very inconspicuously
glandular-setulose. The species is distinguishable from the
forms of C. capitellata with much-branched inflorescences by
the inconspicuous subulate to narrowly oblong inflorescence
bracteoles and denser glandular pubescence.
CLIDEMIA PUSTULATA DC.
For the Flora de Venezuela, Cogniaux' interpretation of
Cc. tulata is being followed, although I have seen no recent
Brazilian (or other) collections exactly comparable to the
holotype (M); Martius’ specimen shows hypanthia very densely
glandular-setulose (ca. 1 mm), external calyx teeth projecting
ca. 1 m, corolla sparsely glandular-setulose (0.2-0.3 mm)
externally, stamens (perhaps malformed in the one flower
examined) with connective barely (0.2-0.3 mm) prolonged, and
S-celled ovary 2/3 inferior and moderately glandular-setulose
(0.5-0.6 mm) apically. ‘The Cogniaux concept encompasses
material from Costa Rica (Skutch 4094; Pittier 10561, 12001),
12) P HE EQ LO, Geb aht Vol. 21, near
Panama ( Qliver, & rtson 1330; Allen 2509), Colombia
(Uribe Ko6L), Venezuela (Boltrar), Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana,
and Brazil (Roraima). Probably C. pustulata sensu Cogniaux is
only varietally distinct from C. urceolata, differing in the
short even cauline and foliar pubescence and slightly smaller
flowers with short external calyx teeth; decisive naming of
specimens between the two taxa is often difficult. Both C.
urceolata and C. tulata have a yellow pigment (from the
glandular hair tips?) often staining newsprint and herbarium
sheets, a feature not seen in related species.

Gleason (Brittonia 1: 167. 1932) treated both C.
novemnervia and C. affinis as synonyms of C. umbonata (vide
supra sub C. strigillosa); however both taxa are characterized
by the stamen connectives prolonged 0.7-1.2 mm (but not append-
aged) and the ovary apices stellulate-puberulous but without
prominent glandular setulae, thus differing from both C.
strigillosa (Sw.) DC. and C. urceolata DC.-C. pustulata IC.
The holotype of C. novemnervia (P) was collected by Ferreira
in Brazil and is well matched by Schultes & Cabrera 12714
(Soratama, Rfo Apaporis, Amazonas-Vaupes, Colombia). The
typical variety is characterized by the essentially sessile
flowers with the hypanthium ca. 3 mm long, the interior calyx
lobes 1.2-2 mm long and the external teeth projecting 1.3-2 mm,
the ovary apex with an abrupt densely stellulate-puberulous
collar 0.4-0.5 mm long; var. affinis has the flowers usually on
evident slender pedicels, the hypanthium ca. 2.5 mm long, the
interior calyx lobes 0.4-0.7 mm long and the external teeth
projecting 0.3-0.8 mm, the conic ovary apex with a scarcely
differentiated sparsely stellulate-puberulous collar 0.3 mm
high. Some intermediates exist between the varieties, which
however are generally well-marked. Cogniaux' C. affinis var.
angustifolia does not merit recognition. The typical variety
of C. novemnervia has a disjunct range: British Honduras,
Colombia (Santander, Vaupés, Amazonas), Venezuela (Amazonas,
Bolfvar), Brazil (Roraima, Amazonas, Rondénia). ‘The Central
American population (C. reticulata Gleason, Brittonia 3: 110.
1939) (also including Nicaragua fide Williams, the Standley
collection not seen by me) was treated in the Flora of
Guatemala (see also Fieldiana Bot. 29: 560. 1963) as a synonym
of C. strigillosa; the latter is known to me from much of
Central America (Guatemala, British Honduras, Honduras,
Nicaragua, Panama).
CLIDEMIA EPIBATERIUM DC.
The original description cited obtuse petals and auricled
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 125
anther bases; examination of the holotype (M) and the Geneva
fragments (G-DC, with separate open flower) shows, however:
petals oblong-lanceate, rounded at the apex, 2.5 X 0.6 m,
externally sparsely setulose on the carina, with an external
infra-apical setulose mucro O.7-1 mm long; anther connectives
not ac ig 7 not or barely (0.1 mm) prolonged. Recent
Venezuelan parmek 75362, Bernardi 2662, Steyermark 90258
all Edo. Bolfvar), Colombian (McDaniel 11420 Depto. Amazonas
and Peruvian (Killip & Smith 2 Loreto) collections agree
with the Martius collection from ' o dos Miranhas, Rio Negro
in regione Japurensi." Cogniaux thought that C. epibaterium Ic.
var. parvifolia Cogn. might prove to be a distinct species
rather than a foliar variant; however an isotype (Spruce 2239,
NY) shows flowers exactly like those of Steyermark 75362.
Placement of this species in Clidemia is perhaps problematic
and Ossaea duckeana Hoehne is probably synonymous; similar
petals also are found in Ossaea boliyiensis (Cogn.) Gleason,
as well as Leandra aristigera (Naud.) Cogn. Certainly Maguire
23228, distributed as O. duckeana, is conspecific with C.
epibaterium, the US sheet of this Kaieteur Plateau collection
however having larger leaves and inflorescences than usual.

As previously alluded (Phytologia 19: 194. 1969), the
correct synonymy for the two Costa Rican species of Clidemia
requires adjustment. I have since seen the holotypes of both
Cogniaux' and Suessenguth's species (Pittier 207-BR and Kupper
Tl2-M, respectively) and have confirmed that the reshuffling
above cited is correct and not that suggested earlier (Fieldiana
Bot. 29: 556. 1963). Also examined for C. globuliflora were
two specimens of Pittier 3 (G-BOISS), which have the same
locality and collection date as Pittier 207 and are probably
the same gathering (see DC. Mon. Phan. 7: 1192. 1891; Macbride

The original material seen by de Candolle was a mixture
(as was his description), Cogniaux later recognizing Leandra
solenifera Cogn. for the element with 6-merous secund flowers;
the leaf in the Prodromus herbarium is of L. solenifera. The
126 Pp os Oo re Vol. 2, no. 2
residual element (Martius s. n., M- Macbride photograph 6416; a
separate leaf apparently from this collection is on the holotype
sheet of Clidemia inaequalifolia DC, a distinct species now
placed in Leandra) in Clidemia heterobasis is actually the same
as C. naeyula (Naud.) Triana sensu Cogniaux and Gleason
(Brittonia 1: 165. 1932), having a dense cauline pubescence of
only gland-tipped hairs less than 1 mm long. One syntype
(Ferreira 8. n., P, Macbride photograph 36347, cited by Naudin
as collected by Bonpland) conforms to the Cogniaux-Gleason
criteria for C. naevula; however, another syntype, Schomburgk
41/72 (P), showing a Naudin dissection sketch, has the longer
eglandular hairs characteristic of typical C. japurensis. I é
doubt that typical C. japurensis was collected on the Rio Japura,
the Martius specimen (despite the holotype label) probably
being from the lowermost Amazon. The typical variety is known
by many collections only from eastern Venezuela and Brazil
(Para), var. heterobasis from Amazonian Colombia and Peru to
British Guiana (also in Nicaragua and Costa Rica). A note on
these complexities was published earlier in Mem. N. Y. Bot.

Examination of the holotype (Gay s. n., P; Macbride photo-

and a single infra-apical setula 0.5 mm long. In both vegeta-
tive and reproductive features, the relations are with C.
bernardii Wurdack and its allies (Phytologia 19: 196-197.
1969). Of these relatives, the closest seems to be C.
piperifolia Gleason, the Peruvian species differing in the
bulla setulae of the upper leaf surfaces 0.8-1 mm long (rather
than 0.2 mm), the cauline and petiolar hairs ca. 1.8 m long
(rather than 0.6-1 mm), and the ovary apex glabrous (rather than
moderately fine-setulose). As in Leandra aristigera (Naud.)
Cogn., Gay*s specimen surely did not come from "environs de
Lima", but probably Depto. Cuzco.
HENRIETTELLA SEEMANNIIT Naudin
H. hispidula Cogn., Bot. Jahrb. 8: 30. 1887.
Examination of the holotype (P) and isosyntypes (US) of
both species revealed no differences, the slight leaf shape gap
easily bridged in recent Central American collections. The
typical element of the species ranges from Costa Rica and
Panama to Colombia (Antioquia, El Valle, Cauca), collections
from elsewhere in Colombia and Ecuador being at least sub-
specifically distinct. Henriettella goudotiana Naud. is closely
related to H. seemannii but differs in the more obvious stellate
bases of the foliar hairs, shorter (averaging 0.4-0.6 mm rather
than ca. 1.3 mm) simple tips of the stellate-based hypanthial
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Mélastomataceis 127
hairs, and shorter (ca. 2 mm long dry, rather than ca. 2.5 m)
anthers with broader (equalling the anther width) pores; the
petals of both species are puberulent externally. Recent
collections of H. goudotiana comparable with the holotype (P)
and isotype (r1) are Garcia-Barriga 11704 (Cundinamarca) and
Little 7313 (Huile).

None of Ule's criteria for distinction are applicable, as
may be seen in the ample series from both north and south of
the Amazon (the latter chiefly collected by Irwin and his
colleagues). Gleason had already published the synonymization
of H. micrantha (Mem. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 8: 143. 1953). The
species ranges from eastern Colombia (Meta, Vichada) and
Venezuela (Bolfvar, Amazonas) to Brazil (Roraima, Para,
Maranhao, Goias, and Mato Grosso). It is closely related to
H. patrisiana (DC.) Naud. (which has calyx lobes strigulose
within, shorter hypanthial pubescence, and rostrate anthers )
and H. seemannii Naud. (with 3-nerved rather than 5-nerved leaf
blades, generally less appressed cauline pubescence, and rather
persistent foliar hairs).

Qssaea angustifolia, endemic to southeastern Brazil, has
eglandular pubescence, narrower 3-plinerved leaf blades,

tainly O. mavacana is an anomalous species, disparate within a
heterogenous "genus" and with no obvious close relative. The
glandular tips on the trichomes are tiny and inconspicuous,
much smaller than those in Clidemia involucrata DC. (which
somewhat resembles 0. mavacana in vegetative aspect, but not in
floral structure).

The holotype of Melastoma quinqueneryia (BM; Bailey
Hortorium photograph 5192) is quite compatible with more recent
collections of 0. diversifolia, a good match (except for the
somewhat larger leaves) being H. H. Smith 4 (Santa Marta,
Colombia). The Miller type shows upper leaf surface hairs
rather sparse and ca. 1.5 mm long, hypanthia furfuraceous but
not setulose, and calyx lobes with a few setulae. ‘The commonly
applied binomial for this species, Q. diversifolia, is thus a
synonym. From some herbarium notes of E. P. Killip, it seems
perhaps doubtful that Clidemia cyanocarpa Benth. should be
included in the synonymy of O. nervia and that comparison
is needed with C. purpurea D. Don (and probably C. haughtii
Wurdack) ; however, the Barclay type has not been examined by me.
BLAKEA QUADRANGULARIS Triana
B. sphaerica Gleason, Phytologia 3: 358. 1950.
The holotype (Triana 4110, BM) from Antioquia represents a
young sharply quadrate branchlet with intact peduncle; the
separate young fruit in the packet show the large bracts (outer
22 X 22 mm; inner 23 X 10 mm) and nearly truncate (the sepalar
apiculums to 2 mm long) calyx limb. Most recent material does
not show elongated internodes, the very young branchlets being
quadrate but becoming indistinctly quadrangular with age.
Evidently Lehmann 7223 (Macbride photograph 17297), distributed
under an unpublished Cogniaux name, is also B. quadrangularis;
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 129
also there are several additional recent collections from
Antioquia.
Blakea guadrangularis was one of Triana's "lost" species,
known to Cogniaux and Gleason only from the original descrip-
tion. ‘Triana's personal herbarium of 8,000 specimens was sold
by his widow to the British Museum (Natural History), the
purchase for 240 pounds being authorized on Feb. 26, 1891; thus
Cogniaux apparently never saw this collection. Through the
courtesy of Mr. Marshall and Mr. Cannon, a xerox copy of the
melastomes entered in Triana's herbarium book was obtained.
Triana evidently did not give field numbers to his specimens,
put later arranged them in Endlicher-genus order and then
assigned collection numbers; thus the Melastomataceae are in
Endlicher genera 6169-6261, the specimens numbered 3847-4114
(with 4099-4114 a postscript miscellany). Triana's notes also
include the species name, locality and elevation of collection,
and number of duplicates. Unfortunately the Endlicher numbers
alone are often cited as Triana's collection numbers. Triana
also numbered his collections within each genus, starting with
1; thus the collection number of Topobea subscaberula could be
cited as 4084 or 6261.5; Cuatrecasas has done such citation
from the Bogota set of Triana specimens. For the Melastomata-
ceae, the London specimens of Triana's collections have been
regarded by me as the holotypes for those species described by
Triana from his own gatherings (but not necessarily for Triana
species based on material of other collectors); many specimens
not found in other herbaria (COL, K, P, W) are in this set.

Of the described species of Topobea, T. brenesii Standl.,
T. cordata Gleason, and T. elliptica Gleason (all from Central
America) have sessile leaves ,» but differ otherwise widely.
Certainly T. mortoniana is not closely related to 7. sessilifolia
Triana, the holotype (BM) of which has sharply quadrangular
branches, lance-oblong leaves 4-6 cm wide with secondary nerves
only 1 mm apart, and solitary (fide Triana) flowers on peduncles
4-6 cm long with capitellate stigmas. Topobea setosa Triana
has leaf blades of about the same shape as those of IT.
mortoniana, with secondary veins wide-spaced, but shows well-
developed petioles, leaf blades discolorous-puberulous beneath,
and much larger solitary or few-fasciculate flowers with stout-
setose bracts and calyx lobes. C. V. Morton for a decade has
amiably monitored and adjusted my descriptions, nomenclature,
and bibliographic problems in neotropical research; two
generations of tropical students have benefited from his own
extensive publications and anonymous courtesy. Thus it is
appropriate that a current botanist follow Standley's 1938
example (Clidemia mortoniana) in the Melastomataceae.

In the foreword Miss Coats describes the "average" horticul-
tural collector as one well schooled and skilled in botany,
gardening and some other sciences such as medicine, surveying,
etc. "He had to be adaptable and able to get on with natives,
and his life often depended on his being a good shot and fisher-
man. He had also to have great tenacity and endurance, the con-
ditions of travel being often such that only curiosity, the
greatest human motive-power next to love and hunger, could enable
him to support them. It follows that the successful collectors
were very remarkable men, and their lives and characters well
worth recording." And they are recorded well!
This fascinating book describes these collectors, their col-
lections and their itineraries in chronological order in each of
different areas of the globe in the order in which they were ex-
plored — the Mediterranean and Near East, northern Europe, Asia,
the Antipodes, Africa, North America and finally South America.
It is almost unfair to single out a few of these hunters for
special mention, as, for instance, Forsyth who went disguised as an
Oriental in China, Wilson who did not do so but always had a sedan
chair toted as an essential for prestige even if dismantled, and
Hove who found himself being presented to an Indian rajah following
a night during which rats with no tonsorial skill chewed off much
of his pomaded hair.
There are other assets in this book such as neat print except
for two letter inversions on p. 155, several fine photographs of
explorers and maps, a carefully prepared bibliography, a list of
the illustrations, indices of collectors and of almost a thousand
plants mentioned, and an epilogue evaluating the future of plant
collecting,

ding the printed introductory pages, the book is produced by a
photo-offset process which permits more prompt publication. Even
an useful index is included, although with the "F" references out
of place. All the papers are in English which is often expressed
awkwardly and too often misspelled, as, for instance, indepen-
dence on p. xii, aging on p. 27, apparent on p. 147, attended on
p. 289, etc. A careful proof-reading was obviously not done.
Some diagrams are far from helpful; several electron micrographs
in different articles are quite well reproduced and valuable as
new material.
Besides an introduction and a concluding remarks paper by
Brachet there are 16 papers that deal with the nucleo-cytoplasmic
relationships in growth and differentiation, biochemistry, ultra-
structures, circadian clocks, light and radiation effects, photo-
synthesis,and autonomy of mitochondria and of chloroplasts as
carried on by the fascinating umbrella-shaped giant chlorophyte
growing in shallow warm coastal waters.
This work will surely have appeal to almost all biologists,
biology students and biology teachers on all levels.

This book succeeds in its well known horticulturist-writer's
aim of collating in handbook size a treasure-house of informa-
tion for gardeners, horticulturists, botanists and plantsmen.
After an introduction to the history of the naming of plants
and to the nature of the Botanical Code, there are introductory
explanations to each of the following: generic and specific
names with translations from the Latin, common names of horticul-
tural and other economic plants with botanical equivalents, bo-
tanical terms defined, illustrated flower and leaf gross struc-
ture, and the "plant system" with notes on families and genera of
special importance or interest. At the end there is an index of
botanical and common family names.
On p. 247 the Verbenaceae is limited to 65 genera and 750 spe-
cies, when actually in its most restricted sense it contains 7)
genera and about 331 valid species and scientifically named sub-
specific taxa. Tectona, a genus of considerable economic impor-
tance, is not mentioned. Clerodendrum is correctly spelled on
this page, but not so on p. hl.

The author's preface describes well the contents of this text:
"The first part of the book deals with general considerations of
disease, the disease cycle, parasitism and pathogenicity, and the
variability in pathogens. This is followed by a presentation of
the mechanisms by which pathogens cause disease and the mechan-
isms by which plants resist disease. Considerable space is devo-
ted to a biochemical discussion of the effects of pathogen-
produced enzymes, toxins, growth regulators, and polysaccharides
on.the structural organization and on the basic physiological
processes of photosynthesis, translocation, and respiration, as
well as to a biochemical discussion of the defense mechanisms of
the plant. Finally, discussions are included on the genetics of
host-parasite interaction, effects of environment on disease de-
velopment and control.
"The second part of the book deals with the infectious diseases
caused by fungi, bacteria, parasitic higher plants, viruses, and
nematodes and with the noninfectious diseases caused by environ-
mental factors. The diseases caused by each type of pathogen are
discussed comprehensively as a group and are subsequently discussed
individually in detail. Diagrams of cycles for each disease are
included to help the student create visual images for the better
and longer-lasting understanding of the disease."
Perhaps many interested readers, students, teachers and
scholars from the broader fields of botany and biology are not a-
ware of how common a phenomenon parasitism of cultivated crops is.
"In North America, for example, some 8,000 species of fungi cause
approximately 80,000 diseases, and at least 180 species of bac-
teria, more than 500 different viruses, and over 500 species of
nematodes attack crops."
The print makes reading facile even though the letters in
"haustorium" are jumbled on p. 591 but correctly given in the text
and index.
Selected bibliographies accompany the chapters.
Glossary definitions should have been limited to such terms
"as used in this text" because terms like "spicule", "ostiole",
etc. have additional bidlogical meanings.

Symposium, edited by J. De Wilde & L. M. Schoonhoven, 30
pp., illus., North-Holland Publishing Co., Amsterdam & Lon-
don. 1969. $15.00.
This conference was held at Wageningen, Netherlands, 2—5 June
1969 on an invitational basis in order to review "knowledge of
the factors leading to an interaction between two organisms which
are so diverse as insects:and plants" and so to find "more subtle
methods than merely using insecticides" to control "insect pests
in food crops". Besides the opening address by the editors, 28
valuable papers are presented by recognized research workers from
all over the world in this separate reprinting from ENTOMOLOGIA
EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA, vol. 12, pp. 471--810, 1969.
13h P H OX2.0.E OG) DA Vol. 21, no. 2
Most of the papers are in English; summaries are given in an-
other language. Each author provides a bibliography, but lamen-
tably there is no general index.
The modern work on the nature of the chemo-electro-physiologi-
wal and behavioral mechanisms used by phytophagous insects to
recognize secondary substances and the nutrients in their host
plants is particularly well developed and needed.
This book will be important not only for entomologists, but al-
so for ecologists, botanists, certain ethologists, certain physio-
logists and biology students.
The print is clear and easily readable. On p. 735 the specific
epithet Sativus is misspelled.
"PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC BOTANY" or Botany as an Inductive Science
by Mathias Jacob Schleiden, translated by Edwin Lankester,
facsimile of the London 189 edition, xv, viii & 616 pp.,
illus., The Sources of Science, no. Lo, Johnson Reprint Cor-
poration, New York, N. Y. 10003. 1969. $27.50.
This book has been and remains an important influential "land
mark" in the development of botany. Therefore it is good, in-
deed, to have it available again for school, university and per-
sonal libraries, even if at a fantastically high price. [It is an
abbreviation of the important "Grundziige der wissenschaftlichen
Botanik".
The work is definitely enhanced by an analytical introduction
by Dr. Jacob Lorch of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He gives
biographic material concerning this brilliant and often offensively
egotistical author, as well as appraisals of the famous flower
embryo studies, of the botanical end of the cell theory, and of
the epoch-making "Grundzitige" made so by "the novel emphasis, as
well as the fluent and very readable language which exuded a tru-
ly contaminating enthusiasm for the scientia amabilis.....His
profound influence on botanical research as well as on the teach-
ing of botany is felt to this day, when studies of the cell enjoy
a new peak of interest which was inaugurated by Schleiden, with
rare insight, more than 120 years ago."
Unlike texts of today, the same illustrations are repeated
for different illustrative needs.
"THE NATURE OF LIFE" -- Earth, Plants, Animals, Man and Their Ef-
fect on Each Other by Lorus & Margery Milne, 320 pp., illus,,
Chanticleer Press Edition, Crown Publishers, Inc., New York,
Ne» Xie 10016 «1970... $1750.
What a beautiful, interesting and valuable book! It is par-
ticularly pertinent because of today's growing interest in the
nature and préservation of our ecosphere. It is the work of two
"seasoned" biologist—naturalists who have written often and well.
It is embellished by 208 exquisite illustrations, 82 in full
color, the work of many well known nature photographers including
1971 Moldenke, Book reviews 135
the authors themselves.
After a description of our dynamic earth, its evolution and of
its mobile diversified life, the authors give living portraits of
the main biogeographical areas searching for historical patterns
that have been building for at least 300 million years. So much
material is presented about so many different living creatures
without producing the feeling of cramming but needing the not
quite complete index of plants and animals with over 1600 entries.
The last chapter entitled "The Spread of the Cultured Primate" is
an impressive appraisal of man's effect upon his environment.
There is no bibliography,yprobably because the book is directed
to general readership and because if complete it would have to be
immense.
The Chanticleer Press is to be congratulated upon producing
this excellent work. Even so a few tiny errors slipped through,
as, for instance, the misspelling of Epidendrum on p. 79 and the
use of "most unique" on p. 167.

loch, 2nd edition, ix & 91 pp., Appleton-Century-Crofts,
Inc., New York, N. Y. 10016. 1967. $3.95, paperback.
The intention of the editor to offer enrichment, more detailed
explanations and inspirational reading to replace some stultify-
ing laboratory exercises is admirable, but the goal is achieved
with about only a half of the selections. lany are just "text
book" or insignificant. The excerpts from the following authors
particularly pleased this reviewer: Darwin, Percival, Iltis,
Beadle, Dobzhansky, Becker, Hardin, and Hamburgh.
Several words were carelessly misspelled in the text, as lu-
ciferin on p. 51, average on p. 69, photosynthesis on p. 87,
known on p. 143, schistosomiasis on p. 210, experimental on p.
291, and Cretaceous on p. 36.
Many different journals and books were used as source mater-
jal.

This is a very attractive and valuable start to what is hoped
will become a complete survey of the island. Herein 72 genera in

there are beautiful and accurate drawings executed by the talented

Nantucket island, off the Rhode Island coast, was to the
author a vacation and a botanical paradise isle which he visited
19 times, collecting a herbarium there of 1,089 specimens with
610 species and subspecific units in 100 families, with 1) of
them native and 196 introduced, and with several as new records.
The editor in his foreword writes: "With much research, he
([MacKeever] also brought together the material presented by pre-
vious workers, correlating their nomenclature with that of the
present day. At the time of his death, he had all but completed
his work......1t is my hope that this catalogue, which represents
a significant contribution to botanical science, may also prove a
fitting memorial to a fine botanist." Through the efforts of
both the author and the editor it certainly is!
This catalogue is enriched with interesting comments, copious
cross references and a full index.
“AN INTRODUCTION TO PLANT DISEASES" by B. E. J. Wheeler, ix & 37h
pp., illus., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., London, Sydney, Toron-
This very carefully prepared text is planned for a beginning
course in plant pathology by an author-teacher of considerable re-
nown, especially in the British Isles. The chapters cover the
following topics: concepts of plant pathology, damping-off and
seedling blights, root and foot rots, wilts, downy and powdery
mildews, rusts, smuts, blight, anthracnose, leaf spots and curl,
witches' broom and club-root, galls, cankers and scab, mosaics
and yellows, postharvest diseases, disease assessment, and
disease control methods. The work is well illustrated, well ex-
plained and well documented with literature references.
This book will inevitably be compared with the new Agrios'
text (and vice versa) produced in the United States. Each is
highly meritorious, with the Agrios' text having greater empha-
sis on biological principles and having more attractive format
and reading style.

A LIST OF JAMAICAN SPECI#&S OF CYNANCHUM (ASCLE?IADACEAE)
William T. 3tearn British Museum (Natural History)
3ince its establishment by Linnaeus in the Species
2lantarum 1:212 1753, Genera Plantarum, 5th ed. 101.
1754, the genus Cynanchum has been variously defined.
Linnaeus included within it five species, of which two,
i.e. C. acutum and the apparently conspecific C. monspel-
iacum, have been retained in Cynanchum by all subsequent
authors; two, i.e. C. suberosum and C. hirtum, have been
transferred to Gonolobus and one, i.e. C. erectum, to
Marsdenia. Cynanchum acutum, a European species, can
thus be reasonably accepted as the lectotype and was so
designated by Britton and Brown, Illustr. Fl. N.U.S.
2nd ed, 3:36. 1913 and by Hitchcock and Green in Nom.
Prop. Brit. Bot. 136. 1929. In 1941, when surveying
the North American genera of Asclepiadaceae, Woodson in
Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 28: 208-215. 191 redefined
Cynanchum so as to include in it many groups which on
mostly rather subtle differences had hitherto been
maintained as separate genera, among them Ampelamus,
Decastelma, Mellichampia, Metalepis, Rouliniella,
Tainionema and Tylodontia. ‘The last general survey of
the West Indian species of this group was by Schlechter
in Urban's Symbolae Antillanae 1: 236-290. 1899.
Woodson's view of generic delimitation here being
now generally accepted, it seems desirable to publish a
list of the Jamaican species to be included in volume 6
of Fawcett and Rendle's Flora of Jamaica.

RUMEX OF HAWAIT
Otto & Isa Degener
In 1811 appeared the second edition of William Townsend Aiton's
"Hortus Kewensis; or, A Catalogue of The Plants Cultivated in The
Royal Botanic Garden at Kew." Aiton, as the title page mentions,
was "GARDENER TO HIS MAJESTY." On page 323 he describes, as new,
Rumex giganteus, calling it "Tall Dock," He adds that it was na-
tive “of the Sandwich Islands. Mr. David Nelson.” Furthermore,
the next line states that it had been introduced in "1796, by Ar-
chibald Menzies, Esqe"
David Nelson was Captain James Cook's botanist, while Archi-
bald Menzies was Captain George Vancouver's. Automatically, with-
out much thought, we would have considered a Nelson sheet deposited
at the British Museum (Natural History) as the lectotype for the
species SeSe We maintain, however, that the lectotype should be a
sheet at Kew labelled "R. giganteus Ait. H. Kew. Rumex 40 feet
highe Climber, Sandwich Isles, AeM., C68." The initials evidently
refer to Archibald Menzies. As Aiton was listing and describing
the plants growing in the gardens of Kew, he evidently grew the
giant Rumex from seed introduced by Menzies about fifteen years
before the catalogue went to preSSe
According to Skottsberg in Acta Horti Gotob,2:225. 1926, speci-
men C68 "has leaves with margin and veins pilose, and so is the
stem o”
In conclusion, after receiving bibliographic and herbarium aid
from Messrs, Peter Green, Edgar Milne-Redhead, John F. Reed, Georg
M. Schultze and William T. Stearn, we believe at least two main
taxa of Rumex giganteus grew (and still survive) in the rainforest
mauka of the Kealakekua area, Island of Hawaii, a rainforest that
has retreated inland during the past 200 years’ attack by Caucasian
and Oriental animal and plant invaders:
1. Re. giganteus Ait. var. giganteus. A somewhat pilose plant. Type:
C68 in herb. British Museum. Though the endemic flora is being rap=
idly exterminated, we are gratified to haye found a liana approach-
ing the type. It is Degeners & L.W. Bryan 32,457. Kahuamoa, South
Konae Hawaii. Rainforest at 3,250 feet. May 29, 1969-
2. Re giganteus Ait. var. nelsonii Deg. & Dege, vars nove Planta
glabra. Unlike the previous variety, this one is glabrous. The
type we consider to be the specimen deposited in the British Muse-
um under the legend "Rumex giganteus, ‘Sandwich Islands, Dav. Nel-
sone'™ During the past two years we have collected this variety,
the less rare of the two, in the rainforest from Kulani around the
southwestern slope of Mauna Loa to Hualalai. If the historical Nel-
son plant for any reason cannot be the type, the lectotype would be

"Degeners & Piccos 32,456. Mauna Loa Boys’ School, Hawaii. Sprawl-
ing tangle in clearing at 5,700 feet. Aug. 10, 1968." A rooted
sheet of this liana (renumbered 32,443 and harvested July 26, 1970-)
was planted in the writers’ garden at Volcano, Hawaii, next to Re
skottsbergii, as described below. Degeners & Piccos 32,458 collect=
ed Auge 15, 1970 “at 2,500 feet, Punaluu mauka, Kau, Hawaii”, is
not particularly outstanding because it has a faint tendency to be-
ing glabrate; but because it completely fills with its scrambling,
overlapping branches, to the exclusion of other plants, a small
gulch. Cranwell, Selling & Skottsberg 3,108 is an Island of Hawaii
specimen with typical’inflorescence, but otherwise a bit strange.
It is from the ancient, deeply eroded and somewhat isolated "Ko-
hala Mts., Upper Hamakua ditch trail. 9/17/38."
It is disconcerting, as Skottsberg has indicated for the local
taxa of the genus on pages 223-228 and elsewhere, that our species
are not clear-cut Linnean onese Depending on the limited informa-
tion available to us, we recognize also:

Erect 7 - 10 dm. tall entirely glabrous shrub with many stiffly
erect slightly zigzag twiggy longitudinally grooved stems arising from
compact rootstalk bearing thick yellowish taproots. Leaves pale
green fading yellow: most blades 10 X 4.5 cme, oval with acute apex
but toward inflorescence gradually smaller and more ovate= to ob-
ovate-elliptic with somewhat cuspidate apex, thick, entire or near=
ly so and never crisped, with acute to acuminate base; petioles
slender, somewhat shorter than lower blades and often longer than
upper blades; ocrea thin, castaneouse Flowers extremely numerous,
yellowish green, imperfectly dioecious with staminate and pistil-
late flowers at times in same fascicle, subtended by minute per-=-
sistent scarious ocreae: pedicels 3 - 5 mm. long, filiform except
for thickened top, persistent in fruit; inflorescence stiffly e-
rect, compact, enlarging in fruit to become usually broad-conical
and 10 - 20 cme wide. Pistillate flower: outer sepals concave, oval-
cuneate to obovate, with obtuse apex, faintly nerved, almost 1.5 mme
long, spreading at anthesis; inner sepals longitudinally recurved
to facilitate lateral extrusion of the longer stigmatic branches,
ovate with subtruncate base and usually retuse apex, 3 mm. long and
almost 2 mm. wide, erect at anthesis, with veins and especially
midrib prominent. Ovary 1 mm. long, ellipsoid-trigonous with sharp
angles, short-stipitate; styles filiform, each acutely widening in-
to white-translucent broadly fan-shaped stigma irregularly twice
and thrice fringed to form about 40 ultimate flat branches. Stam-
inate flower: sepals concave, obovate with obtuse apex, faintly
nerved, grading from about 1 mme long for outermost to 2 mm. long
for innermost, suberect; filaments filiform; anthers pale yellow,
exserted, obovoid, 1.5 mme long, emarginate at base and deeply nar-
rowly cordate at apex; aborted ovary 0-5 mm. long, with spreading
flat truncate stigmas each half as longe Fruit yellowish green rip-
ening castaneous; outer sepals reflexed, marcescent, not enlarged;
inner sepals erect to closely invest nutlet, 4 - 6 mm. long, un-
dulate to somewhat erose-dentate, obtuse to retuse at apex, broadly
cordate at base, conspicuously net-veined except for open margin,
with midrib prominent without but sulcate withins nutlet shiny, ob-=
ovoid, deeply trigonous, 2.5 mme long, obtuse to a minute truncate
stalk at base, somewhat beaked.

Local Ranges At present we know this species complex is native to
Hawaii, where it is common on the ash and aa flows from about Kilau-
ea and Kilauea Iki Craters through the aalii, ohia lehua and ukiuki
pahoehoe flows of the Kau Desert up the Southwest Rift Zone of Mauna
Loa and thence northward into Kona until stopped by forests. It
grows from about 2,000 to 7,000 feet elevation. It is strictly a
1971 Degener, Rumex of Hawaii 143
pioneer, springing up like a weed in bulldozed aa lava. The roots of
the seedling apparently rush during the rainy season to reach moist
depths for the plant's establishment before advent of the dry sea-
son. This common erect xerophyte has been mistaken for the gigantic
liana R. giganteus with loose, brilliantly red inflorescence first
collected by Nelson, presumably mauka of Kealakekua in the rain-
forest. After growing the erect shrub (like Degeners & Piccos
32,453) and the liana (Deg. & Dege 32,443, Degeners & Piccos 32 456)
next to each other for several years at 3,800 feet elevation in our
Volcano, Hawaii, garden and noting that both taxa retained their spe-
cific characters over several years, we confidently consider R.
skottsbergii specifically distinct. In addition to the Island of
Hawaii, we suspect this species in several inferior taxa, to be on
Maui and Nihoa as explained belowe
"Rumex of Hawaii™ concentrates on the genus as it occurs on the
"Big Island." We here add some of our observations of, and surmises
about, Rumex on the smaller islands as wello
Few readers realize that the Hawaiian Archipelago is close to
2,000 miles long, extending from the northwestern Kure and Midway
Tslands via such reefs, shoals and islets as Hermes, Laysan and
Necker to massive Maui and Hawaii. The northwestern islands, first
formed, were once of considerable size and elevation, and have since
been mostly peneplaned to ocean levele When the island primordia be-
gan forming on the ocean floor is debatablee But an indication of
how old such islands may be is shown by the find of fossils of Mio-
cene Age = roughly 25,000,000 years ago = in core samples from Mid=
waye These islands were certainly covered with jungle vegetation -
now gone = when high enough to form and intercept raincloudse The
southeastern islands are generally younger, still of considerable
sige and elevation, and clothed with endemics until present inter-
ference by mano
As the crow flies, the Island of Hawaii is less than thirty
miles distant from the Island of Maui, separated by the 6,000 foot
deep Alenuihaha Channele The possibility that these two islands have
ever been connected by a land bridge is extremely unlikely. Yet we
find that on Maui occur at least two taxa resembling the R. gigante-
us and R. skottsbergii complexeseThe former is more or less repre-
sented by two sheets, namely le) Forbes 1050M, "Keaenae [Keanaé} Gap,

seven foot high shrub, which is several feet taller than typical Re
skottsbergii as we know it in and about Kilauea on the Island of Ha-=
waiie It appears to have red flowers a feature, if true, being more
typical of R. giganteuse
Even without special adaptaions for flotation or for transport by
animals, these native species of Rumex evidently traversed Alenuihaha
Channel separating Hawaii and Maui, if they did not come from some
third island such as Nihoa.
Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai and Molokai in past ages were once a single
island, before that time and after having been variously separated by
narrow channels. These now have an average depth of not more than
about 600 feet. Here Rumex need not have crossed any water to reach,
for instance, from Maui to Molokai from which latter island Hille=
brand reported "R. giganteus." He further states that the native name
on Hawaii is pawale and on Molokai, uhauhakoo
Uninhabited.Nihoa, 400 to 500 miles west of Maui where some taxa
of Re skottsbergii grow, has 895 foot high Miller's Peak and 852 foot
high Tanager Peak. These two are the opposite rims of a large eroded
crater. What plants clothed this high land in ages past? Was one of
them a Rumex? In what we call the Marie C. Neal Herbarium of the Ber=
nice Pauahi Museum are three sheets. They certainly belong, with
their erect, compact, apparently green inflorescences, to the Ro
skottsbergii complex. Due to their condition, however, we are not pre-
pared to state to which inferior taxon they may belong. They are 1.)

It is intriguing to speculate whether the Nihoa Rumex is not a mem-
ber of a very small relict flora, representing the genus which gradu-
ally disseminated eastward from the old, eroded islands to the new,
now major, islands of the Hawaiian chaine
This is not all. We must yet consider Rumex on the islands of Oahu
and Kauai. Oahu is separated from Molokai by the 2,300 foot deep and
30 mile wide Kaiwi Channel, and from Kauai by the 6,000 foot deep and
80 mile wide Kaieie Waho Channel. Formerly, Oahu consisted of two sep-
arate islands, the eastern one now dominated by the Koolau Range and
the western one dominated by the Waianae Range. We know the Koolaus
are more recent as well borings have shown that their lava flows over-
lie those of the Waianaes. No one has ever reported a native Rumex
from the Koolaus, but along the precipitous sunny summit cliffs,
ledges and slopes of the Waianaes grows the 5 - 8 cm. tall Re al-
bescens Hillebre It is an herb, rather than a shrub, with leaves
crisped and erose=denticulate. Skottsberg, perhaps depending too
much on herbarium material, had some difficulty in distinguishing
this species from Hawaii plants; while our observations in the field

convince us of the correctness of ‘Hillebrand's finding. Though not
known from the Koolau Range of Oahu, this taxon, perhaps in several
varieties and forms, appears on the Island of Kauail It is signifi-
cant that Skottsberg, mentioning Chromosome Numbers in Hawaiian
Flowering Plants (Ark. f. Bote, Stockholm) 64. 1953, lists 36 as
the 2N for a Kauai plant and 54 or 56 for plant 6,828 from Hawaiie
The more we become familiar with native taxa, the more do we real-
ize how complicated the flora of the Hawaiian Islands is; Rumex is
just one example. Although one of us has observed and collected the
native taxa since 1922, we have solved just a few puzzles and drawn
attention to many, many more. The new generation of botanists should
concentrate on collecting more and better material, growing seeds
under controlled conditions, making additional chromosome counts, and
using newer and preciser methods unknown to workers of the paste The
present fad to engage in a wealth of costly ecological experiments
and studies without first untangling the taxonomy of our flora is
placing the cart before the horse.

Uphof (1968) retains P. poeppigii Schau. as a distinct spe-
cies (surely it deserves no more than varietal or form status})
and accredits it to "Scheuer". He records the vernacular vari-
ant name "capa blanco" for the species and tells us that its wood
is light-brown to medium-brown, often variegated, with fine
straight to somewhat wavy grain, medium to high luster, very
hard, heavy, tough, and strong, it air-seasons rapidly, is easy
to work, moderately resistant to dry-wood termites, fairly durable
when in contact with the soil, and is recommended for furniture,
cabinet-making, turned articles, novelty items, interior paneling,
rollers in coffee-hulling mills, carts, posts, poles, piling, and
props. Of what he calls P. poeppigii he says "Tree. West Indies.
Wood strong, palisander |=Dalbergia]-colored; used for navy con-
struction". Kribs (1968) records the additional vernacular names
"fiddlewood", "guayo prieto", "roble guayo", "capa de sabanna",
"bois d'sortie", "chene calle bassie", and "capa wood" —- the last
being its commercial name. He describes the wood in detail as
"Color light yellowish brown with darker brown streaks and satiny
luster; appears waxy. Odor and taste not distinct. Hard and
heavy, sp. gr. 0.95 (air dry); weight, 59 lbs. per cu. ft. Grain
straight to wavy or roey. Texture fine. Easly to turn and carve
and takes a lustrous finish. Growth rings fairly distinct due to
color zones and an increase in fiber density. Vessels barely
visible without lens; numerous, evenly distributed to zonate,
solitary and in radial groups of 2—-l;; tang. diam. 70u to 215u,
av., 156u; lumina with tyloses; pits alternate, diam. 7u to 10u.
148 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 3
Fibers septate in part with simple pits. Parenchyma not distinct
with lens; paratracheal scanty to vasicentric uniseriate. Rays
barely visible without lens on the cross section; inconspicuous
on the radial, heterogeneous type III, 1--3, mostly 2--3 cells
wide and 10--20 cells high; lumina with very small crystals; ray-
vessel pits oval to elongate, simple to half-bordered. Ripple
marks absent. Gum ducts absent. Uses and source of supply fur-
niture and cabinets, interior finish, millwork, flooring, tool
and knife handles, rollers, posts, and turnery. West Indies."
Arthur (1917) describes the fungus, Olivea petitiae Arth.,
while Garman (1915) describes Septoria petitiae Garman from this
species.
Stimson found the plant in pastures with extensive secondary
growth and in dry scrub forests on mountainsides, describing it
as a small tree, with red fruit in July, and called "cap4
blanco", growing to be 20 or 30 feet tall, with a stem diameter of
6 inches at breast height. Little says that the fruits are red.
Gooding, Loveless, & Proctor (1965) tell us that Maycock recorded
the species from the Barbados islands, but that there has been
"no modern record of it" from there. Gillis 68)3 was taken from
plants that had escaped from cultivation.

Blair & Epps (1969) list this species as one of seven browse
species in Louisiana and state that it is "abundant in pine-
hardwood stands which have a relatively high canopy. It often
dominates the lower cover in a forest clearing." Traverse de-
scribes the plant as a shrub, 2--3 m. tall, with a base trunk
diameter of | cm., arching and sprawling, some weakly upright,
the stems brittle, the bark "with small warts and tubercles",
light-brown, the "berries" [drupes] green [when immature], grow-
ing in open woods above a backswamp, in dark-brown much-cracked
silty soil, in the dominant complex of Fraxinus-Gleditsia-
Liquidambar-Pinus taeda formation.

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) suggests that C. lanata Zipp.,
of Timor, may be conspecific with what he calls "C. cana", but I
place it in the synonymy of C. pedunculata R. Br. Sprengel
(1825) regarded C. tomentosa Willd. as a synonym of C. cana L.,
but I regard it as C. kochiana Mak., not C. nudiflora Hook. &
Arn. as previously stated.
Schumann & Lauterbach (1900) aver that C. candicans "ist im
Stidasien verbreitet bis zu den Philippinen und Australien. —
Burkill vermuthet, das C. euchlora Schauer mit ihr zusammen-
falit." Probably this binomial is a lapsus calami for C. erio~
clona Schau., but since it is here first published as a possible
synonym of C. candicans I am so regarding it — at least until I
succeed in locating the original Burkill reference.
The R. Parkinson s.n. [1901] and C. T. White 8981, distributed
as C, candicans, are actually C. pedunculata R. Br.

Merrill (1942) describes this taxon as follows: "Arbor 7--8 m.

The type of the species was collected by Paul Alfred Pételot
(no. 2608) in humid forests, at an altitude of about 600 m., on
15h PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 3
Mount Bavi, Sontoy Province, Tonkin, Indochina, on July 2, 19h0,
and is deposited in the herbarium of the Arnold Arboretum at
Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Merrill (192) comments that "In
Dr. Dop's key this falls with Callicarpa arborea Roxb. as inter-
preted by him, yet it differs from Roxburgh's species in so many
striking characters, and for that matter all other Chinese and
Indo-Malaysian species known to me, that I am constrained to de-
scribe it as new. The very dense indumentum on the branchlets,
parts of the inflorescences, petioles, and on the midribs and
lateral nerves on both surfaces of the leaves is made up of short
crowded stellate hairs and mich longer subplumose ones, the lat-
ter often 3 mm. in length, and usually with very few, short, lat-
eral branchlets, these lateral branchlets scarcely stellate in
arrangement. The shorter stellate hairs on the parenchyma on the
lower surface by no means conceal the latter, the more or less
scattered stellate hairs on other than the midrib and lateral
nerves scarcely touching each other."

Blume (1826) describes the following two unnamed varieties:
"Variet a. foliis longiter acuminatis, serraturis distinctioribus,
cymis laxis petiolo longioribus. Crescit in terris argilloso-
calcareis. Variet b. foliis minute serrulatis glabriusculis.
Crescit in fruticetis montanis Seribu circa Rompieu." This refer
ence is sometimes inaccurately cited as "p. 808" instead of p.
818. An additional recorded vernacular name for the species is
"kajoe si marsioe-sioe".
The Wang 35683, distributed as typical C. longifolia, appears
to be f. floccosa Schau. instead.

Recent collectors have found this plant growing in shrub thick
ets, secondary scrub, open bush country, often in red soil, on
level land or strand, on slopes of grassy hillsides, along trails,
near rivers, in the half-shade of rubber plantations, and at the
edge of forests or thickets, at altitudes from sealevel to 1400
meters, flowering from October to August and fruiting from Novem-
ber to September. Thaworn refers to it as "scattered in ever—-
green jungles" in Thailand, while Phloenchit also avers that it
is "not common in evergreen jungles" in that land. The Clemenses
tell us that it is a "common shrub in forests or thickets" in
Sarawak. On Anambas Island it is said by Henderson to be a com
mon shrub or small tree. Main found it "scattered in forests" in
Dutch New Guinea.
The corollas are described as "blue" on Goklin 788 and on Han-
1326, and Nur 18835, "purplish-white" on North Borneo Forest.

The Sumatran specimens are in general more hairy than those
from most other localities, with the pubescence less distinctly
stellate. A wood collection accompanies H. H. Bartlett 6936 at
the University of Michigan and R. S. Williams 2116 at the New
York Botanical Garden. The leaves are insect-galled on Bakhuizen
van den Brink 1903, while the fruits are galled on the same col=
lector's no. 186. Bunnemeijer 3783 has very tomentose stems and
bears a striking likeness to the genus Geunsia. Lam 2049 is
placed here tentatively, since it comprises only unattached
fruit.
The C. lanceolaria ascribed to "Hort." belongs in the synonymy
of typical C. longifolia Lam. H. J. Lam (191), 1919) includes C.
albida Blume in the synonymy of his C. cana var. sumatrana (Miq.)
H. J. Lam, a taxon now known as C. candicans var. sumatrana (Miq.)
Moldenke. Backer & Bakhuizen van den Brink (1965), however, re-
gard C. albida Blume as a valid species, with C. blumei Zoll. &
Moritzi and "C. longifolia Auct. non Lamk." as synonyms. From
this supposed synonymy and from their description it would appear
that they are adopting this name for both what I regard as typi-
cal C. longifolia Lam. and its f. floccosa Schau. Their composite
description reads as follows: "Wild-growing. Drupe white; cymes
on 1/2 —- 1 1/4 cm long peduncles, stellate-hairy, 3--7 cm across;
calyx shortly dentate, glabrous or stellate-hairy, 1 1/h -- 1 3/h
mm high; corolla lilac, 2 1/2 -- 3 mm high, shortly lobed; lobes
rounded, outside glabrous or stellate-hairy; stamens lilac, 3--5
mm; style )—-7 mm. Young branches densely to thinly stellate-
hairy; leaves oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, acute, finely serrate-
dentate, gland-dotted beneath or sometimes on both surfaces, when
adult thinly stellate-hairy or glabrous on the upper surface (of-
ten with the exception of the large nerves), stellate-hairy or
glabrous on the lower surface, 7--18 cm by 21/2 — 61/2 a;
petiole 3/4 — 2 cm. Shrub or small tree. 1.50--6.00; I1--X1I;
W.C.E., Mad.; 1—1700; brushwood, light forest, village-groves.
Variable! (C. blumei Z. & M., — C. longifolia Auct. non Lamk.)."
Singh tells us that the plant is native to eastern Bengal and
the Khasi Hills. Rao & Rabha (1966) record it from Assam, while
Deb, Sengupta, & Malick (1968) found it in Bhutan, citing Sen-
gupta 896.
Chang (1951) maintains both C. longifolia f. floccosa and var.
lanceolaria as valid taxa. For the former he cites nos. 28677,
66799, & 68796 and for the latter nos. 100, 3282, 27118, 3335h,
36332, 62267, 66029, & 71071 of collectors and/or herbaria whose
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 157
names, unfortunately, he gives only in Chinese characters.
Common and vernacular names recorded for C. longifolia f. floc
cosa are “bagiha", "balah balah", "betoe-betoe", "betoe-betoe
balab", "common callicarpa", "dotdrot", "kajoe bebetik", "kajoe
sioe-sioe", "kapasan", "katoempang soend", "ki katoempang tanar",
"leloya", “marbasi", "mumuni", "nasi-nasi", "paroeh", "saring
nudat", "sasad", "si marsioe-sioe", and "sioe-sioe".
Roxburgh (1820) describes his C. lanceolaria as "Shrubby,
hairy. Leaves lanceolar, serrulate, acuminate. Panicles axil-
lary, short—peduncled, sub-globular. Berries white. H. Koamoora.
A pretty, shrubby species, with narrower leaves than any of the
other species I have yet met in India, they taper most toward the
base, are nearly smooth on the upper surface, but very hoary un-
derneath; as are all the other tender parts. Flowers numerous,
minute, purple. A native of the forests of Silhet, where it is in
flower most part of the year." He describes "C. longifolia Linn.
sp. pl. ed. Willd. i. 621", on the other hand, as "Shrubby with
erect weak branches. Leaves rather long-petioled, broad-lanceo-
late, serrulate, smooth above, downy underneath. Panicles axil-
lary, dichotomous, length of the pedicels. Berries white. A na-
tive of Prince of Wales Island, where it blossoms in June, July
and August." It would appear from his statement that the leaf-
blades are "downy underneath" here also, that his plant was also
f. floccosa rather than the typical C. longifolia Lam., although
I would have expected C. pedunculata R. Br. at that locality.
The specimen on which this record is based should be re-examined.
Watt (1889) claims that what he calls C. longifolia var. lanceo-
laria is native to eastern Bengal, the Khasi Hills, Chittagong,
and Burma.
The statement by Bentham & Mueller (1870) that the C. longi-~-
folia of Australia has its "corolla densely pubescent" causes me
to wonder if f. floccosa may not also be involved here, although
the statement in the same sentence that the leaves are "green on
both sides" points to the typical form and I have thus far seen
only specimens of the typical form from that continent.
Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) describes this form as "Forma?
floccosa Schau. in DC. Prod. Syst. Nat. XI (1847) p. 645. —A
stout shrub or small tree; branchlets, cymes, and petioles dense-
ly floccose-hairy; leaves oblong or broadly lanceolate, distinct-
ly serrulate-denticulate, upper side sparsely stellate-hairy when
adult, or glabrescent, except on the nerves, lower side rather
densely floccose; cymes stout, globose, usually rather short-
petioled; calyx densely and floccosely stellate-hairy; corolla
purple or rose, densely woolly outside."
The Clemens & Clemens 3029 & 21090, Krukoff 053, Mondi 23, G.
E. Perry 5228, Toroes 16), C. Wang 35683, and R. S. Williams 2116,
cited below, were previously regarded by me as representing typi-
cal C. longifolia and were so annotated by me in some herbaria. I
feel now, however, that they are better placed in f. floccosa.
The Elmer 20102 & 2002, cited by me under typical C. longifolia,
158 Pi ¥F 0.L-0 Gs Vol. 21, no. 3
actually show the lower surface of the younger leaf-blades same-
what floccose, but the mature leaves seem to be glabrate beneath,
so I am retaining these collections under the typical form of the
species. Elmer 15336 and Lei 11) also seem to exhibit intermedi-
ate characters, some specimens more closely approaching the typi-
cal form, while others approach f. floccosa.
The Hamel & Toroes 1165, Hollrung 817, Hoogland 3653, Native
Collector 27 273, and De De D. Wood 75, cited below, are placed here here
tentatively. Some specimens | of these sori dctions are also cited
by me under typical C. longifolia. These specimens were mostly
annotated by me a considerable number of years ago, before my
present concepts of the delimitation of these taxa has crystal-
lized. They need to be re-examined.
H. J. Lam (192) cites Schlechter 13818 & 16453 from North-
eastern New Guinea and Peekel 62 from New Ireland. The second
of the Schlechter collections, “however, is cited by me as typical
C. longifolia.
Material of C. longifolia f. floccosa has been misidentified
and distributed in herbaria under the names C. angusta Schau., C.
attenuatifolia Elm., C. attemifolia Elm., C. - longifolia Lam., C.
longifolia var. subglabra Schau., and C. rubella Lindl.
In all, 08 herbarium specimens and 4 mounted photographs of
C. longifolia f£. floccosa have been examined by me.

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in
having its petioles, leaf-venation, and inflorescence densely
pubescent, the leaf-blades distinctly rhomboid-ovate, the margins
very coarsely callose-serrate except at the acuminate apex and
long cuneate-acuminate base, and the calyx-rim 5-toothed.
The type of the variety was collected by Thomas Horsfield —
in whose honor it is named -—- somewhere in Java and is deposited
in the herbarium of the Botanical Garden at Kharkov State Univer-
sity in Kharkov, Russia.
Turezaninow's original description of this taxon is "C. ramis
tetragonis simplicibus cum petiolis, nervis foliorum, atque in-
florescentia dense pubescentibus; foliis rhombeo-ovatis utrinque
longe attenuatis, a medio ad apicem grosse et callose serratis,
in utraque pagina pilis raris conspersis et resinoso-punctatis;
cymis brevibus petiolos parum excedentibus; calycis dentibus 5
triangularibus majusculis, corollae tubo fere duplo brevioribus;
staminibus ), pyrenis apice barbatis, in statu maturo liberis.
In Java legit Horsfield. A duabus species, ad § 1 in prodromo
Candollii relatas jam differt dentibus calycinis quinque." Lam
(1919) describes it as "A shrub, branchlets, petioles and cymes
densely hairy; branchlets tetragonous; leaves ovate-rhomboid,
both sides long attenuate, upper half coarsely serrate, sparse-
ly pubescent on both sides, glandular, densier on nerves; cymes
small, as long as or somewhat longer than petioles; calyx 5-
toothed; teeth deltoid, rather large; corolla-tube twice as long
as the teeth of the calyx; stamens ; ovary hairy at the top.
Distribution: Java. This very imperfectly described species, of
which we did not see any specimen, seems to be somewhat doubtful,
as regards the 5-toothed calyx, of which the teeth are large-
deltoid." Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) avers that "This
doubtful species perhaps is to be considered as an abnormal form
of C. longifolia Lam @ floccosa Schau."
Only two photographs of the type collection have been ex-
amined by me.

This species was based by Dunn on Hongkong Herb. 3390, col=-
lected in natural woods near Yenping, Fukien, China, in 1905.
Callicarpa panduriformis is based on Chaffanjon 231 from Kwei-
chow, China. For a time I considered this taxon to be synony-
mous with C. rubella var. hemsleyana Diels, but I now regard it
164 Par toL0 G ia Vol. 21, no. 3
as conspecific with C. longipes. Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921)
regards C. longipes as a synonym of C. cuspidata Roxb., which,
however, “is actually C. pedunculata RK. Br. The C. cuspidata ac-
credited to Hasskarl is C. C. longifolia Lam., while that accredited
to Bakhuizen van den Brink is in part C. rubella Lindl. and in
part C. longipes.
Recent collectors have found C. longipes growing in forests,
mixed woods, and thickets, at altitudes of 700 to 820 meters,
flowering in June and fruiting in December. They record the ver—
nacular name "sai ip un mat". The specific epithet is uppercased
by some writers, for no valid reason. The corolla is described
as "pinkish" on Ching 3230, "red" on Peng, Tak, & Kin 561, "red-
dish-white" on Sin 10020, "light-purple" on Tsiang 10159, and
"purple" on H. H. Chung 3370.
P'ei (1932) comments that "The Fukien plant, Chung 3370, has
coursely dentate leaves which are larger than those of the type
and of Peng, Tak and Kin 561. The floral characteristics are the
same in all the specimens cited. This species, as the leaf char-
acters, concerned closely resembles Callicarpa Dielsii P'ei dif-
fereing from it by its long acuminate calyx lobes por denser pub—
escence on both surfaces of the leaves." He cites a Ching 3230
from Anhwei and Chun 5689 & 5777 from Kwangtung, Soubtiewe depos-
ited in the Arnotd Arboretum her herbarium, and an isotype (Hongkong
Herb. 3390) in the same herbarium. He notes under what he calls
Cc. C. dielsii that "It appears to me to be closely related to Calli-
carpa 1 pa longipe s Dunn, the difference being the truncate calyx of of
Callicarpa Dielsii (Lévl.) P'ei while that of C. longipes Dunn.
is toothed." We now regard his C. dielsii asa a variety of C.
rubella Lindl., namely, C. rubella var. var. dielsii (Léveillé) Li.
Dop (1932), in describing C. br C. bracteata Dop, | Dop, says "Cette es-
péce est voisine du C. longifolia Lam. Elle s'en distingue
aisément par les pédoncules des cymes beaucoup plus longs, les

THE GENUS COLUMNEA (GESNERIACEAE) IN PANAMA
C. V. Morton
I have been working from time to time on Columnea in Panama and
Costa Rica for many years. My treatment of the Costa Rican species
was published in Standley's "Flora of Costa Rica" in 1938, but I hav
not published a key to the Panamanian species, which are even more
numerous than the Costa Rican perhaps, although there are several
Costa Rican species as yet undescribed. It seems that almost every
new collection from virgin forests in Central America and Colombia
yields undescribed species. When forests are cleared it appears
that Columneas are completely exterminated and do not come back in
secondary growth, which explains why several of the species have
been found only once, and may never be found again.
The division of Columnea into sections by Hanstein, Bentham and
Hooker, and by Fritsch is not wholly satisfactory. The matter needs
to be considered in depth. Very recently, William T. Stearn
published a beautifully prepared and documented paper "The Jamaica
Species of Columnea and Alloplectus (Gesneriaceae)" (Bull. Brit.
Mus. Nat. Hist. 4 (5): 181-236, t. 14-21. 1969) in which he pro-
posed a new alignment of the species. Columnea is restricted to
the section Columnea itself, in which pollination is by humming
birds, so far as known, and which is distinguished morphologically
by having the four anterior corolla lobes united into a galea and
the posterior lobe narrower and spreading or deflexed. The stamens
are exserted and the anthers are initially connate. The section
Cryptocolumnea would obviously belong here also, although Stearn
does not mention it, for it has exactly the same kind of corolla
and stamens, and differs only in having the leaves of a pair
strongly unequal. Stearn refers all the other species to Alloplectu:
tentatively, but it does not discuss them in detail.
This is a radical viewpoint, and it does not solve the problems
by any means, for it leaves Alloplectus very heterogeneous indeed,
including plants with the corollas erect in the calyx or horizontal,
bilabiate or regular, contracted in the throat or not; the fruits
fleshy berries or capsule-like; the disk composed of five glands
or reduced to one. Most importantly, there is no overall resemblanc:
between these "'Alloplectus" species, such as ought to characterize
a genus regardless of individual characters. Moreover, the method
of pollination of most species of Alloplectus remains to be determine
and some may indeed be pollinated by humming birds. For these reaso
I am not following Stearn in his definitions. It may be remarked
that the anthers offer some useful characters, particularly as
regards the distinction between Alloplectus and Drymonia.
The chromosome number is n = 9 in those Panamanian species so
far investigated, namely C. consanguinea, C. hirta, C. nicaraguensis
C. warscewicziana, C.,sanguinolenta, C. illepida, and C. moorei
165
166 P HoYet Onk,-0.G 1 A Vol. 21, no. 3
(cf. Cytogenetic Studies in the Genus Columnea L.. by Lawrence
Carl Sherk) (MS Thesis, Cornell University, 1960). It should be
mentioned also that although I have described the stigmas of the
various species as either stomatomorphic or bilobed the distinction
is by no means always clear from dried material. This character
needs to be studied by itself and in more detail, especially from
fresh specimens.
The type of Alloplectus Mart. is conserved as A. sparsiflorus
Mart. That this may not be the best choice will be discussed in a
future paper by Mr. Hans Wiehler, who has made some valuable contri-
butions to our knowledge of the relationships of the genera of the
Tribe Columneae (Cornell University Thesis, 1970, unpublished.)

This is one of the species that does not fit comfortably into either
Alloplectus or Columnea. I do not believe that any Alloplectus
species have five disk glands, but there are some Columneas that
do, and consequently the closer alliance may be with Columnea, which
is shown also by the erect, unspurred corollas. A species from
Chiapas, still undescribed, appears allied.

At the time I published on Trichantha in 1963 the native habitat
of this species was unknown. It had been variously reported to be
from Ecuador, from Tingo Maria, Peru, or from the Panama Canal Zone.
Mr. Henry Butcher, of Chiriqui, Panama, has since written me that he
was the original collector, and that the species is a native of the
Chiriqui region of Panama. There is no reason to doubt this. A
possibly allied species (still undescribed because of inadequate
material) so far as flowers go has turned up in the same area.

Built uppn a fine start in Lundell's "Flora of Texas" and con—-
tinued in the same careful vein, this excellent systematic study
will prove exceedingly useful. Everything about Texas is huge
and so is this book. Ilustrations are limited to county and
vegetational state maps and a colored frontispiece of the state
flower, the bluebomet of Texas. Limitations set by the single
volume size preclude any geographic distribution maps and floral
drawings; the information is there in print. Space has been
found for a good glossary, list of abbreviations including
authors! names, and index.

Darien, Connecticut 06820 & New York, N. Y. 10022. 1970.
$12.95.
The first edition of 1912 was a gem; the second edition of 26
years later is a bigger and brighter gem. This offset copy
makes possible the needed restocking of library shelves with a
book which, like a gem, does not lose its value in aging.
The history of the printed herbals got its start somehow "in
the thoughts of ancient Greece.......and it can be followed lin-
eally to our own day." Throughout it has been shown "that botany
rose from being a mere handmaid of medicine to a position of com=-
parative independence."
The book is very carefully indexed and has 131 clear and very
interesting figures or plates.
"SINCE SILENT SPRING" by Frank Graham, Jr., xvi & 333 pp., Hough-
ton Mifflin Co., Boston, Mass. 02107. 1970. $6.95.
Eight years have passed since Rachel Carson's carefully docu-
mented story of the effects of uncontrolled, nondegradable,
general pesticide pollution on our environment was offered to the
public and since the vitriolic attacks upon it made mainly by the
agrico-chemical industries. Without the compelling readability
of this talented author but with the full appreciation of her ef-
forts and kindred ones of others this conservationist-author
shows how Miss Carson has been completely vindicated, how snidely
much of her opposition reacted, what small progress has been made,
and what a great deal more — jes with our present knowledge —

can be made.
Important appendices add much to this worthwhile book. The
first includes an article from the Audubon's "Atlantic Naturalist"
entitled "Safer Pesticides for Home and Garden" by Shirley A.
Briggs. The second, by Harold G. Alford, gives the "Federal Reg-
istration Requirements for Pesticide Products". The third, "In
Memoriam", tells of the Rachel Carson Trust for the Living Envi-
ronment in Washington, D. C., of the Rachel Carson Memorial Fund
administered by the National Auduhon Society, of how we may help
through them, and of how Rachel Carson left legacies to the
Sierra Club and to the Nature Conservancy, estatlishing the
Rachel Carson Seacoast Fund for the preservation of natural
areas along the New England coast.
"THEORIES ON THE NATURE OF LIFE" by Giovanni Blandino, S. J.,
xiii & 37) pp., illus., Philosophical Library, New York, N.
Y. 10016. 1969. $6.00.
This book is the English translation by 0. C. Olsoufieff of
the emended first Italian edition. In it the author expounds and
evaluates the following theories: determinism and anti-casualisn,
mechanism, vitalism, dialectical materialism, cybernetics, mnemo-
nism, emergentism, holism and panpsychism. He presents these
concepts mainly through quotations from the major proponents of
each, such as Claude Bernard, Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Hans
Dreisch, John S. Haldane, Julian S. Huxley, Jacques Loeb, Joseph
Needham, Aleksandr I. Ceparin and George G. Simpson.
After elaborating upon what he and/or biologists generally
consider inadequacies and errors in these concepts, the author
presents his own ideas. He accepts the principle of invariable-
ness of probabilities and the principle of impossibility. Ap-
plied to the "average chance universe the formation of a highly
regular structure is possible, though greatly improbable....and
the realization of a living body is simply impossible,....the
existence of every living body requires preferential laws: pre-
ferential laws are the fundamental causes of life, [and] there-
fore also of evolution." After elaborating upon the Hardy-
Weinberg law, he concludes that "probably the principal direc-
tional factor of evolution has been the differential vitality or
selection." Each is a different possible modality of the orien-
ted causes. "My position is therefore essentially anti-causal-
istic, not anti-selectionistic. In my opinion the 'formula' of
the causes of evolution is not chance and selection, but prefer-
ential laws and selection."

or.

problems taught by the author for non-biologists. It will well
serve a wider audience of interested citizenry who wish to be well
informed on this very important topic.
The author fortifies with practical information and reasoning
his belief that optimum solutions to community pollution problems
must be developed through an integrated or systems approach. He
considers food diseases, insecticides, zoonoses, sewage, water and
air pollution, accidents and occupational hazards, noise, ionizing
radiation, biological and chemical warfare, and finally the poli-
tics of pollution. He does not seem to be concerned especially
with the problem of the numerically expanding human population.
_ The author's intent "will have been achieved if the presenta=-
tion enables the intelligent reader to evaluate these problems
from a basis of knowledge and understanding, rather than of emo-
tional fervor founded on ignorance, superstition, and prejudice."
This reviewer wishes him many readers for the sake of "our pre-
carious habitat".
Bibliographic material is arranged according to the chapter
topics.
There is a useful index.
"THE TRANSPORT OF PLANT HORMONES" —- Proceedings of the NATO/Ege
University Summer Institute, October 1967 —- edited by Y.
Vardar, viii & 457 pp., illus., North-Holland Publishing
Co., Amsterdam & John Wiley & Sons, Inc. as their Western
Hemisphere distributor, New York, N. Y. 10016. 1968. $23.00
The 26 papers and their valuable discussions present what is
known today and outline the research and re-evaluations needed
tomorrow. Kaldewey's opening address analyzes polar transporta-
tion in terms of "density", "velocity" and "intensity" rate
rather than just "rate". Other authors deal with the movement of
-marked indoly| acetic acid; auxin and kinin relationship with
senescence; acrop3tal movement of auxin and agents modifying its
longitudinal transport; effects of photosynthesis, tropisms, sym- |
biosis, flowering and bud dormancy. Alleweldt considers "the an-
mual cyclic pattern of growth and dormancy as the result of a
complex competition of operators controlled by external condi-
tions in combination with an endogenous mechanism of plant devel-
opment, that is, a hormonal influence on the mechanisms by which
the information contained in the genetic code of DNA is trans—-
ferred to the corresponding mRNA, this giving rise to the synthe-
sis of specific enzymes."
Some proofreader was lax because oxidation is spelled two ways
on p. 154, while continuum on p. 366, German on p. h, Cichorium
intybus on p. 415 are also misspelled.
The index is scanty, omitting all plant names.
This is a valuable book, but also an unreasonably expensive
one.

"AUSTRALIAN NATIVE ORCHIDS IN COLOUR" by Leo Cacy & E. R. Rother
ham, 112 pp., illus., Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Ver-
mont 05701 & Tokyo, Japan. 1971. $6.75.
This book is a little beauty at a very reasoriable price con-
sidering the inclusion of over 100 beautiful color photographic
prints. The text by the first author, who has been specializing
in orchids for over a score of years, consists cf interesting
succinct descriptions, pollination information so fascinating in
this family, habitat and geographic distribution notes, scientific
and common names with their derivations, and type specimen records.
The illustrations by the second author, who is a renowned natural
history photographer, combine very effectively correct represen-
tation, exquisite detail and artistic grace.
The following items are only of minor significance: lithophytes
are confused with lithophiles (p. 7), dependence is misspelled (p.
7), "Geodorum" is derived from "being near the earth" [that is,
the flower] instead of "gift of the earth" (p. 92), and magnifi-
cations are not given with the illustrations.
Anyone interested in orchids, anyone interested in Australia —
in fact, just anyone at all -- should enjoy this book!

pp., published privately by Dr. N. R. Farnsworth, Dept. of
Pharmacognosy & Pharmacology, University of Illinois, Chi-
cago, Illinois 60612. 1969. $5 paperback.
A valuable service has been rendered by these scientists for
taxonomic botanists, pharmaceutical workers and students, and
many others in collating all this material. The first five mono-
graphs were edited by the last two individuals mentioned above
and were published by the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. All
are built on Dr. Eldin V. Lynn's file of triple entries kept by
him for many years (generic, author, chemical) and have been
added to constantly.
Material is arranged by related and briefly described plant
families and alphabetically by genera and the species within
them. After each species the common names, common synonymy, and
the chemicals involved are listed. Numbers after each chemical
refer to the bibliography given at the end of each plant family.

able more "attractive" works for our students. Part I deals with
cell organization, metabolism, growth and development. Part II
discusses habitatal interrelations and such economic microbiolog-
ical processes as are used in the fermentation industries, anti-
biotic production, etc. Part III develops the diversity of fungi
in relation to their environments in systematic order.
There is an appendix with classification, a useful biblio-
graphy and an index.
"THE BIOLOGY OF LICHENS" by Mason E. Hale, Jr., viii & 176 pp.,
illus., American Elsevier Publishing Co., New York, N. Y.
10017. 1970. $7.50.
This excellent highly readable work was first published by Ed-
ward Arnold, Ltd., of London in 1967. It makes a fine companion
volume to the author's "Lichen Handbook" of 1961, thus supplemen-
ting this field guide with basic modern biological theory and in=-
formation. It belongs in the libraries of all kinds of biolo-
gists, all schools and scientifically interested general readers.
It covers the following topics: morphology of the thallus and
its ascomycete or basidiomycete reproductive structures and vege=
tative diaspores, physiology and nutrition, symbiosis and synthe-
sis, growth and longevity, succession in ecologically different
comunities, intra- and extra-cellular chemistry and biochemical
systematics, classification and taxonomy, and finally economic
importance. This thin book has 289 important bibliographic ref-
erences, a useful index, and excellent photos and drawings.
How does the author delimit lichens? "Lichens are undeniably
more than a sum of their [fungal and algal] parts, for licheni-
zation is accompanied by structural modifications (e.g., thalloid
exciple, soredia) new to the plant kingdom and physiological
activities (production of lichen acids) different from those of
either component."

2 by Jo&o Angely, xix--xliii & 21-56 & 17 pp., illus.,
Edico&s Phyton, C.P. 5271, S&o Paulo, Brazil. 1970.
Welcome to this new volume in a very carefully executed serial
publication from a most prodigious botanical worker! It covers
31 families from the Leguminosae through the Vitaceae with 20
genera and 1345 species and their subunits. For each taxon is
given the source of its scientific name, a brief description,
blooming times, common names, synonymy, and geographic distribu-
tion.
There are 399 distribution maps covering the range of the re-
corded plants throughout the Western Henisphere. There are sever—
al valuable indexes. The offset printing is very neat; only the
generic name Rhabdocaulon on p. xxxiv was noticed as misspelled.

SOME NEW DISCOMYCETE NAMES
RICHARD P. KORF
Plant Pathology Herbariwn
Cornell University, Ithaca, New York
Preparation of keys to the Discomycete genera (Korf, 1971) has
led to several revisions by the author and his students, most of
which are being reported elsewhere. This brief article involves
validation of three new genera and forty-three new combinations in
various Discomycete groups not currently being monographed by us.

many students, present and past, whose unfailing and friendly help,
criticism, and forbearance can never be repaid. Throughout much of
the work, a motto coined by one of my students (Joanne K. Rogers,

"No name change today can eradicate the confusion of the past!"

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in
having its pubescence on the petioles, leaf-blades, branches, pe-
duncles, inflorescence-branches, pedicels, and calyx hirsute, e-
longate, divergent at right angles to the base, and gland-tipped.
The type of the variety was collected by S. K. Lau (no. 3927) —
in whose honor it is named — at Sai Hang Cheung, near Tung Lei
village, Kiennan District, Kiangsi, China, between July 28 and 30,
1934, and is deposited in the United States National Herbarium at
Washington.
In all, 3 herbarium specimens, including the type, have been
examined by me.

Benguet, Luzon, Philippine Islands, in May of 190), and was de-
posited in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science at Manila, but
is now destroyed. Collectors have found this species in bloom
from February to June. A black fungus is on specimens of M. S.
Clemens 5882. The Vanoverbergh 1376, distributed as C. longi-
petiolata, i is actually the type collection of its var. '. glabrescens
Moldenke.
In all, 19 herbarium specimens, including type material of
both names involved, and 2 mounted photographs have been examined

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in
having its lower leaf-surfaces decidedly silvery, but only very
sparsely furfuraceous on the larger venation when mature.
The type of the variety was collected by Father Morice Frans
Jules Pieter Maria Vanoverbergh (no. 1376) in Bontoc Subprovince,
Luzon, Philippine Islands, on June 30, 191), and is deposited in
the herbarium of the Botanisch Museum at Utrecht. This same col-
lection is also the type of Merrill's C. longipetala, which I
formerly (1947) regarded as typical C. longipetiolata. The plant
has been collected in anthesis so far only in June. Material has
been misidentified and distributed in herbaria as C. angusta Schau.
and as typical C. longipetiolata Merr. is
In all, 6 herbarium specimens, including type material of both
names involved, and 3 mounted photographs have been examined by me.

Merrill (1917) comments that "The type of Hamsley's variety was
from near Canton, and is the form interpreted by Hance and by Max-
imowicz as Callicarpa longifolia Lam. Lamarck's type was from
Malacca, and Callicarpa longifolia Lam. is a species entirely dis-
tinct from this Chinese form; Hemsley states that his var. longis-
sima stands out very distinctly from all others (i.e., other forms
of Callicarpa longifolia Lam.) and should perhaps be raised to be
specific rank. It is distinguished from Lamarck's species by its
212 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no.
narrow, elongated, nearly glabrous, entire or but very minutely
toothed leaves, its smaller flowers, and other characters. In
some respects it approaches the Philippine Callicarpa dolichophyl-
la Merr., from which it is distinguished by its vegetative char-
acters."
The C. longifolia accredited to "Auct.", to Blume, to Linnaeus,
to Roxburgh, and to Vahl in the synonymy Lok above is C. longi-
folia Lam., a valid species, that accredited to Diels is C C. bodin-
ieri | var. giraldii (Hesse) Rehd., that accredited to Hooker is Ce. Cc.
brevipes (Benth.) Hance, that accredited to "sensu Hemsl." is eh
japonica var. angustata "Rehd., while that attributed to Hemsley
is in part C. bodinieri var. giraldii and in part C. japonica var.
angustata.
According to P'ei (1932) "Hemsley's original description is as
follows: 'Fere undique glabra mitidaque, foliis valde longatis
anguste lanceolatis usque 9 poll. longis, subtus pallidioribus
parce aureo-pulverulentis ceterum glabris, cymis distincte pedun-
culatis, floribus minutis. — C. longifolia Hance in Ann. Sc. Nat.

Variable as C. longifolia is as limited here and in the "Flora of
British India", the present form stands out very distinctly from
all the others ” and should perhaps be raised to specific rank.'" He
cites Chang liSu, Chung 2477 & 2800, Ging 7212, 729k, & 15778, and
Po 2049 from Fukien, McClure 3454 from Kiangsi, Ching 7738 from
Kwangsi, Chun 6922 from Kwangtung, Tsang 810 from Hainan Island,
and Herb. Canton Chr. Coll. 238 and E. D. "Merrill 9986 from Honam
Island. He says further " allicarpa 1 ongissima ‘ssima (Hemsl. ) Merr. has
nearly glabrous leaves except for the long villose hairs along the
veins on the upper surface, and a ring of long hairs at each node
of the branchlets. It is related to Callicarpa longifolia Lam.
and C. brevipes Hance differing from the former by its leaves being
glabrous beneath, and pubescent above only along the veins; from
the later by its attenuate leaf-base; and from both by its long
narrow leaves." His C. longissima f. subglabra is described by
him as follows: "A typo differt foliis subglabris, ovato-lanceola-
tis ad elliptico-lanceolatis, 12.5 to 20 cn. longis 3 to 4.7 cm.
latis, nodis band barbatis. Kwangtung: Lungtau Mt., near Iu,

Kin (Ts'ang) 8261, July 192), 'Flowers white'. This differs fram
the type by its leaves being glabrous above and subglabrous be-
neath. There is no ring of long hairs at the nodes of the branch-
lets."
The type of C. taiwaniana was collected by Sigetaka Suzuki (no.
5945) at Sankyaku and Suigen, Formosa, and is deposited in the her-
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa a3
barium of the National Taiwan University.
Chang (1951) maintains C, longissima, C. longissima f. subgla-
bra, and C. taiwaniana as three distinct and valid taxa, although
he seems not to be entirely certain about the last-named of these.
names, again, he gives only in Chinese characters.
Recent collectors have found C. longissima growing on hillsides,
wooded hillsides, low slopes, and dry land, in forests, wooded
places, thickets, and dry places by the sides of houses, and at
pondsides, at altitudes of 10 to 1600 meters, flowering from May
to August and in October, and fruiting from September to March.
Ching describes it as "common" in Kwangsi; Lau found it to be
"fairly common on dry steep slope in sandy soil of rocky forest"
on Hainan Island; and Tsang describes it as "fairly common in
village commons in dry sandy soil and silt" in Kwangsi. E. D.
Merrill 9986 is said to be a topotype. ETN e
Vernacular names for the plant appear to be "bok wat tan",
"fat fung shu", "long-leaved beauty-berry", and "taai tsin mi
fung". The corolla is described as "red" on W. T. Tsang 22628,
"pink" on H. H. Chung 2800 and F. C. How 72815, "purple" on R. C.
Ching 7738, "green" on H. H. Chung 277, "white and yellow" on
Peng, Tak, & Kin 296, "yellowish-white" on Peng, Tak, & Kin 557,
and "white" on Peng, Tak, & Kin 826.
Callicarpa longissima closely resembles C. brevipes f. serrula-
ta P'ei, but the latter has serrate or serrulate leaf=blades,
whereas in C. longissima the leaf-blades are entire or subentire.
Some specimens (e.g., R. C. Ching 6996) also greatly resemble the
M. Ramos 2037 collection which is regarded by me as representing
C. dolichophylla Merr. Li (1963) cites H. H. Bartlett 6082,
Nakahara s.n., Sasaki s.n., Suzuki 5945, and E. H. Wilson 9821 &
10108 from Formosa.
Material of this species has been misidentified and distribu-
ted in herbaria as C. brevipes (Benth.) Hance, C. longifolia Lan.,
and Clerodendron sp. On the other hand, the H. H. Bartlett 6082,
cited by Li and distributed as C. longissima, is actually C. ran-
daiensis Hayata. It is probable that the other Formosan material
cited by Li also represents that species.
In all, 38 herbarium specimens and one mounted photograph have
been examined by me.

Chang (1951) describes this species as follows: "Frutex circ. 2
m altus. Ramuli hornotini teretes fulvo-brunnei farinoso-stellato—
lepidoti, amotini brunnei lenticellati glabri. Folia membranacea
oblonga, 7--12 cm longa 2--l; cm lata, apice acuta vel breviter a-
cuminata, basi in petiolum longissime attenuata, utrinque glabra
lucide aureo-glandulosa, in sicco supra brunneo-viridia, subtus

The species is based on W. P. Fang 17252 from Szechuan, depos-
ited in the herbarium of the Botanical Institute of Sunyatsen Uni-
ciel Canton, China. From the same province is cited W. P.
ang 17200, meas from Yunnan Chang cites E. E. Maire 34 and H H. T.
or 51132. He compares the species with is bodinieri var. giral-
dii dii (Hesse) Rehd. and C. longifolia Lam., but in Chinese.

This species is native from China southward into Nepal, Bhutan,
India, Burma, and Hongkong, and east to New Guinea. It has been
introduced in Réunion and Madagascar and is also widely cultiva-
Loy elsewhere. The corolla is described as "pink" on Pradham &
hapa 497 and T. A. Rao 7201, "red" on Steward & Cheo . 876, * pur-

Larsen, Santisuk, & Warncke BT Tea | As) usual, one wonders if the
color of the Seana voally really varies so much or if it is merely a
matter of interpretation and definition of color by the collector.
Collectors have found the species growing on hillsides, in
sandy riverbeds, ricefields, forests, deep forests, and valley
forests, in thick jungles, bamboo shrubbery, thickets, open scrub,
and waste places about villages, and on open slopes, from sealevel
to 2000 meters altitude, flowering from May to October, as well as
from January to March, and fruiting from October to February and
in August. Rao (19595 refers to the species as "a large herb"
with the flowers "in dense spikes" [which is obviously an error}]
and cites Rao 7201. Dakshini (1965) reports this plant as one of
the major constituents of the "poor shrubbery layer", the “shrub
story on slopes", and "in moist soil of swamps" in the Dehra Dun
region of India, where he says that the species is common. Juan
reports it as "rare" in Upper Burma and Ching calls it "rare" in
Kwangsi. Panigrahi & Joseph (1966) aver that it is abundant in
thick evergreen forests in Nefa and cite their no. 16728, while
Thothathri and his associates (1966) report it as common near
plantations in Bihar and cite Shetty 180.
The Banerjees (1968) also record C. macrophylla from Bihar,
while Gupta (1967) and Uniyal (1968) found it growing in Uttar Pra-
desh. Yamazaki (1966) gives its overall distribution as "Himalaya
(Kashmir to Assam), Bengal, Burma, Indo-China, and S. China". Ma-
heshwari (1963) tells us that it is "Cultivated as a hedge plant in
gardens" in the Delhi region and cites J. K. Maheshwari 218. He
describes the plant as "An erect shrub up to 3m. tall. Branches,
lower surface of leaves and inflorescences densely stellate-woolly.
Leaves up to 22 x 7 cm., ovate, elliptic or ovate-lanceolate,
coarsely crenate-serrate. Flowers rose-coloured, crowded in dense,
dichotomous cymes. Drupes white," flowering from June to Septen-
ber. Gupta (1967) describes the corollas as "pink". Prain (1903)
calls the plant "A shrub 3--8 feet high", growing "In all the pro-
vinces" of Bengal. Uniyal (1968) calls it a "small drooping shrub
with purple flowers growing commonly in shade at 900 m." He cites
Uniyal 3800 and notes that "a very small quantity is collected and
220 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no.
consumed locally, the seed-paste being used for mouth ulcers" in
Uttar Pradesh. In the same state Puri (1960) tells us that C.
macrophylla grows in the third story in edaphic Gangetic tropical
moist deciduous river rainforests in the sub—Himalayan tract under
a canopy of Bombax malabaricum and Gmelina arborea, and also that
it inhabits riverbeds and grows along streams in swamp—edaphic
forests on clay beds with 100 inches of annual rainfall which goes
underground and then oozes out, making small streams. These are
mixed forests mainly consisting of Bischofia javanica. “e also
tells us that the species is considered to be good fodder in the
states of Punjab, Pepsu, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Himalchal Pradesh,
Jammu, and Kashmir in northern India.
Because of the considerable misinterpretation of this species
in the past, it is perhaps worthwhile to reproduce here the orig-
inal description and certain other relevant descriptions. Vahl
(179) first described this taxon as follows: "Callicarpa foliis
lanceolato-ellipticis crenatis attenuatis, supra rugosis subtus
ramisque tomentoso-incanis. Tab. LIII. Habitat in India orien-
tali Konig. } Rami obscure tetragoni, uti petioli & pedunculi,
tomento denso sublanato tecti, ut in Call. lanata. Folia petio-~
lata, opposita, spithamaea & ultra. saepe uncias tres lata, cre-
nata, inferne versus integerrima, apice attenuata, basi obtusa,
supra nervosa: nervis canescentibus, venoso rugosa, villis raris-
simis minutis adspersa, subtus tomentosa, incana, tomento tenuiore
quam in ramis, nervis elevatis venisque simplicibus obliquis inter
nervos: huniora utrinque cana. Petiolus pollicaris. Paniculae
axillares, dichotome-ramisissimae, oppositae, bipollicares: ramis
divaricatis. Pedunculus universalis longitudine petiolorunm.
Bracteae ad ramificationes oppositae, lineares. Calyx minutus,
quadridentatus, incanus. Corollae laciniae oblongo-subcuneatae,
glabrae. Stamina & pisti]la flore longiora. Sub nomine Callicar-
pae tomentosae misit Konigius, differt vero, ut ex descriptione
patet, foliis lanceolato-ellipticis crenatis, nec ovatis integer-
rimis denticulatisqe."
Roxburgh (1820) modified Vahl's description as follows: "C.
macrophylla. Vahl. Symbol. iii. 13. t. 53. Shrubby, downy.
Leaves opposite, ovate-lanceolate, serrulate, reticulate, hoary
underneath. Corymbs axillary, dichotomous, rather longer than the
petiols. Berry minute, white. Native of Silhet and Chittagong.
A shrub from four to eight feet in length. Trunk scarcely any,
but several, round, erect branches, covered with white down.
Leaves opposite, petioled, lanceolate, or oblong lanceolate, fine-
pointed, finely serrate, wrinkled, above soft and a little downy,
below covered with much whitish soft down, from six to nine inches
long, and two or three broad. Stipules none. Petiols about an
inch long, downy. Corymbs axillary, peduncled, two-forked nearly
globular, downy, many times shorter than the leaves. -- Peduncles
as long as the petiols, round and downy. -- Bractes lanceolate,
one under each division of the corymb. — Flowers very numerous,
small, rose-coloured. — Calyx woolly the four divisions distinct
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 221
and acute." The fruit, of course, is a drupe, not a berry, and
the inflorescence is a cyme, not a corymb.
Roxburgh's C. incana is described (1820) as follows by him:
"C. incana R. Shrubby, young shoots hoary. Leaves lanceolate,
obtusely serrulate, fine and entire-pointed, hoary underneath.
Mashandari Asiat. Res. lv. 233. Beng. Muttura, Muttrunja. A
stout shrub, with all the tender parts and the under surface of
the leaves densely clothed with long, soft, white, stellate pubes-
cence; common in the vicinity of Calcutta, where it is in flower
and seed nearly the whole year. I long considered this to be
Vahl's macrophylla, but on rearing what I also took for the same
species from Silhet and Chittagong, in the Botanic Garden, I could
plainly observe a striking difference when growing near each other,
and as the Chittagong and Silhet sort agrees much better with
Vahl's figure and description I must consider it to be his macro-
phylla. In the Calcutta plant, which I now call incana, the leaves
are never so broad in proportion to their length, more round at
the base; much more pointed, with the long taper-points entire;
all the rest of the margin, except what may be called the base,
obtusely-serrulate. In macrophylla, the leaves are crenate, more.
obtuse, and the margins cut to the very apex; the two are however
very nearly allied, though I think sufficiently distinct to auth-
orize their being considered as different." Kuntze (1891) re-
duced this to varietal rank under C. macrophylla, although he ac-
credited the variety to Roxburgh, and describes it as "Folia an-
gustiora (1: 3--5). Bengalen, Sikkim." In this disposition he
may be correct although as yet I have been unable to separate the
two forms satisfactorily.
Léveillé's original description (1911) of C. dunniana is "Habi-
tu et aspectu affinis C. macrophyllae Vahl a quo differt: serra-
turis foliorum tenuioribus; foliis supra viridibus nec rubescenti-
bus, tomento candido nec cinereo aut flavido, antheris eglandulo-
sis et inflorescentia axillari, foliosa nec divaricato-corymbosa
et terminali. Kouy-Tchéou: Environs de Hoong-Ko-Chou, vallée de
Pa-Lin-Kiao (Tchen-Lin). Arbuste a fleur d'un violet-pourpre, 20
juin 1898 (D. Séguin. 23a); Long-chan, juin 1906, fleurs rouges
(Jas. Esquirol, 869)."
Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) describes C. macrophylla as fol-
lows: "A shrub, 3--5 M. high; branchlets, cymes, petioles densely
mealy or woolly; leaves rather large, coriaceous, oblong or sub-
lanceolate, base obtuse or rounded, often subcordate, apex rather
long acuminate, margins crenate vel obtusely serrate, except at
the base and the top, upper side, when adult, densely hairy, the
stellate hairs often stubbily broken, lower side softly white or
greyish tomentose; pairs of nerves 10—15; 10--35 c.M. long, 3—
18 c.M. broad; petioles 1-2 c.M.; cymes rather small, globose,
3--5 c.M. long, 3--10 c.M. in diam.; peduncles short, 1--2 c.M.
long; calyx cupuliformous, densely floccose outside, 0.10--0.15
c.M. long; shortly -toothed, teeth subincurved, 0.01—-0.015 c.M.
long; corolla exsert 0.30.15 c.M., tube glabrous, 11/2 -- 2
222 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 4
times as long as the calyx, lobes , ovate, 0.1--0.12 c.M. long,
0.15—-0.20 c.M. broad, glabrous or with some hairs outside; sta-
mens 0.5--0.6 c.M.; anthers glandular, 0.07--0.10 c.M.; style 0.6—
0.7 c.M., with subpeltate or obscurely l-lobed stigma; ovary
glabrous, glandular; drupe glabrous, white when mature, )-seeded.
Distribution: Brit.-India! Malabar! Himalaya! Nepal! Assam! Sil-
het! Bengal! BurmaJ Hainan! Hongkong! Chinas N.-Guinea (Warb.!
Lauterb.!)! -- Mascarenes (Schau.)! Réunion (Cordem)!"
Gamble (1881), under the name C. cana L., describes C. macro-
phylla as "A shrub. Bark thin, grey-brown. Wood white, soft.
Annual rings marked by a line of closer pores. Pores moderate-
sized, sometimes subdivided. Medullary rays moderately broad, the
distance between them greater than the transverse diameter of the
pores. Bengal. Common in forests and along roadsides in the
Terai and Diéars, extending probably southwards to the Ganges. It
has pretty pink flowers."
Backer & Bakhuizen van den Brink (1965) describe C. macrophyl-
la from Java as follows: "Petiole 10--25 mm long; leaves oblong
or lanceolate, from a cuneate, obtuse, rounded, or subcordate
base, with an acuminate or tapering base, rather acute, crenate-
serrate, at first on the upper surface densely covered with stel-
late hairs, afterwards with very numerous stubble-like rests of
these, 10--35 cm by 2--18 cm. Cymes on 1-2 cm long peduncles,
densely stellate-hairy, 3--10 cm across; pedicels gland-dotted;
calyx minutely denticulate, with numerous yellow, glandular dots,
basally coarsely stellate-hairy, 1 — 1 1/2 mm long; corolla vio-
let, outside thinly hairy or glabrous, with yellow glandular
dots, 3 -- 1/2 m high; stamens 5--6 mm; drupe white. Shrub.
3.00--5.00; I--XII; native to SE. Asia; in Java, 10—600, culti-
vated as an ornamental."
Champion & Hooker (1853) state that C. macrophylla is related
to C. integerrima Champ., which is easily distinguished by its
broad entire leaves and dense golden tomentum. Rosenthal (1862)
says "Callicarpa Rheedii Kost. soll Rheedes Tondi-Teregam (IV.60)
sein, wohin Dennstedt fragweise Callicarpa macrophylla Vahl..
zieht." Lam (1919) says of his C. pedunculata var. glabriuscula
"This variety has an affinity with C. macrophylla, with which
some authors confound the species, by the form of its leaves, es-
pecially in regard to the base."
A memorandum by C. E. C. Fischer and T. A. Sprague, preserved
in the Britton Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden, and
dated August 18, 1931, states: "(1) The name Callicarpa Roxburghii
was published by Wallich, Cat. nd. 1833 (1828--29) as a new name
for C. incana Roxb., nonC. canal. It was effectively published
since it is associable with the description of C. incana Roxb.,
but is an illegitimate name because it was superfluous. (2) Wal-
pers, Rep. iv. 127 (134--8) published a description of C. Rox-
burghii apparently based on Wall. Cat. n. 1833, specimen. A much
better description of Callicarpa Roxburghii Wall. Cat. n. 1833,
specimen, was published by Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 60 (187).
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 223
This mentions the setaceous calyx-lobes [and is now known as C.
kochiana Mak.). (3) C. B. Clarke (F, B. I. iv. 568) and Lam”
(Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenz. ser. 3, iii. 23) reduce C. incana Roxb.
to C. macrophylla Vahl, apparently correctly. (h) Callicarpa
Roxburghii Wall. (1828-29) is accordingly a taxonomic synonym of
C. macrophylla Yahl. (5) The specimen of Callicarpa Roxburghii
Wall. Cat. n. 1833 described by Walpers (?) and Schauer belongs,
however, to a different species, namely the South Chinese Calli-
carpa ise tinied in Index Fl. Sin. ii. 255 (1890) as Cc. tomentosa
Willd. It has the characteristic calyx-lobes of this South Chin-
ese plant" [which is now known as C. kochiana Mak.]
Kuntze (1891) regarded C. roxburghii Wall. as distinct from C.
macrophylla and listed "C. tomentosa W. non L." as a synonym of C Cc.
roxburghii. This confusion was due to the situation explained by
Fischer and Sprague in the above-quoted memorandum. We regard C.
tomentosa Willd. as a synonym of C. kochiana and C. tomentosa L.
as a synonym of C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. Sprengel (1828) regarded
C. incana Roxb. as a valid species, but in his 1825 work he placed
it in the synonymy of what he called "C. lanata" [=C. tomentosa].
It should perhaps be pointed out here that the C. tomentosa
accredited to Thunberg in the synonymy given above is a synonym
of C. longifolia Lam., that accredited to Bakhuizen van den Brink
is in part C. arborea Roxb. and in part C. integerrima Champ.,
that accredited to Lamarck and to "L. ex - Spreng." is C. candicans
(Burm. f.) Hochr., that ascribed to "L. ex Moldenke" is C. erio- erio-
clona Schau., that ascribed to "Auct.", to Hooker & Arnott, to
Willdenow, to "sensu auct. Japon.", to "sensu Matsum.", and to
"sensu Matsum. & Hayata" is C. kochiana Mak., while that accred-
ited to Murray, to "L. ex Willd.", and to "(L.) Santapau" is the
true C. tomentosa (L.) Murr.
The C. cana ascribed to Dalzell & Gibson is a synonym of C.
tomentosa (L.) Murr., that ascribed to Linnaeus, to Sprengel, and
to Vahl is C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr., and that seis to
Wallich is in part C. longifolia Lam. and in part C. unculata
R. Br. The C. incana (Turcz.) Moldenke, also pk = "(F.)
Moldenke" by ¢ certain | authors, is actually C. cubensis Urb. The
C. roxburghii ascribed to H. J. Lam, to Schauer, to "Wall. ex
Schau.", to "Wall. ex Walp.", and to "sensu H. ae Lam" is C.
kochiana Mak, The C. macrophylla var. sinensis C. B. Clarke is a
synonym of C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn.
Watt (1889) tells us that C. macrophylla is "A tall shrub of
Northern and Eastern India, found as far north as Hazara, and as-
cending the Himalaya to 6000 feet, and abundant in Bengal....In
Haz4ra the heated leaves are applied to rheumatic joints (whence
the name bé-pattra, from bé, rheumatism)." This Watt reference is
cited by Prain (1963) as "E. D. c. 133" — 133 being a paragraph
number! Groff also tells us that the species is "used in the pre-
22h Po LPO Lioiaers Vol. 21,. nowem
paration of a medicine used for injuries" in Kwangsi, China.
Datta (1965) states that the plant is found in village shrubberies
in India; Prain (1903) asserts categorically that it is found "In
all the provinces" of Bengal — presumably both Indian and Pakis-
tani Bengal. Balakrishnan (1964) affirms that it grows naturally
from Kashmir to Assam in northern India and to Pegu in Burma, as-
cending to 2000 meters altitude, its white fruit rendering it
quite distinct from C. arborea Roxb., with its purplish-black
fruit, and from C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. Maheshwari (1963) distin-
guishes it from C. longifolia Lam. by pointing out that in C. lon-
gifolia the leaves are "thinly stellate-pubescent; corolla more or
less pubescent outside", while in C. macrophylla the leaves are
"densely stellate-woolly beneath; corolla glabrous outside or with
some hairs."
Bojer (1837) records C. macrophylla as cultivated in Mauritius
and Humbert insists that the Madagascar record for the species is
also based on cultivated material. It is therefore probable that
the Réunion record given below is also from cultivated material,
although the label of the specimen does not indicate this to be
the case. I assume that the Brazilian record is also taken from
cultivated material, even though, again, the label does not in-
dicate such a fact.
Dahlgren (1938), for some reason unknown to me, places this
genus and species in the Lamiaceae!
Common and vernacular names recorded for C. macrophylla in-
clude "bannu", "b4-pattra", "b'a-pattra", "bauna", "budhi ghasit",
"budhi-ghasit", "daid", "daidogoro", "daya", "dea", "den",
"denthur', "druss", "dréiss", "grossblattrige Schonbeere",
"mashandari", "mathara", "mattranja", "muttranja", "muttrunja",
"nuttura", "oon awn", "pattharman", "poko kwat tan", "shiwali",
"sigye", "sumali", "simAli", "thar", "tondi-teregam", "urnfruit
beautyberry", and "urn-fruit tree". It should be noted that the
name "shiwali" is also applied to C. arborea Roxb.
Alleged references to this species in Baden Powell, "Pb. Pr.
571", “Asiat. Res. 55: 23g", and "Kanjilal For. Fl. 263" have not
yet been verified by me.
Panigrahi and his associates (1964) record the species as com
mon in Orissa; Rao (1964) records it from Uttar Pradesh; Stewart
(1967) records it from Swat. Deb (1961) cites Deb 154 from Mani-
pur. Santapau, in a letter to me dated February 16, 1948, says
that this species "occurs in the Deccan, fide Clarke. The plant
seems to be common in N. and E. India, only occasionally else-
where; I have seen no specimens from Bombay Presidency". Kita-
mura (1959) cites his collections from Halchok, altitude 1500
meters, July 31, 1953, and from Arughat Bazar, altitude 62) me-
ters, December 10, 1952, in Nepal, and gives the overall distri-
bution of the species as "Himalaya, India, Burma, China: Yunnan,
Szechuan, Kwangtung, Hainan; Siam, Indo-China, New-Guinea, Mas—
carenes, Reunion". Kapoor and his associates (1969) report the
isolation of an alkaloid from C. macrophylla. Gillis 857) was

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 227
being much branched and having leaves which are much smaller,
fuscous-woolly, obscurely stellate beneath, and ultimately glab-
rate, according to Clarke (1885).
The type of the variety was collected by William Griffith (no.
6041) in Bhutan, where it appears to be endemic. Clarke says
that it "Differs a good deal in habit from C. macrophylla, but
connected by E. Nepal specimens collected by Sir J. D. H.[ooker]".
The taxon is known to me only from the literature.

Shrub or small tree; branches terete or somewhat compressed at
the nodes, pale-grayish, glabrous, about 6 mm. in diameter;
branchlets reddish-brown, densely fulvous-tomentose with rather
soft plumose and stellate hairs; leaves decussate-opposite; peti-
oles about 5 cm. long, densely tomentose; leaf-blades subcoria-
ceous, broadly elliptic-ovate, 22--27 cm. long, 17-20 cm. wide,
shortly and broadly acuminate at the apex, entire along the mar-
gins or very obscurely and remotely denticulate near the apex,
broadly rounded or sometimes subacute at the base, olivaceous,
glabrous and shiny above, paler and densely fulvous-tomentose
with rather soft plumose and stellate hairs beneath, not at all
glandulose; secondaries about 10 per side, very prominent; terti-
aries subparallel, distinct; cymes in the axils of the fallen
leaves, about 6 cm. long and to 9 cm. wide in fruit; bractlets
linear, 3--5 mm. long, pubescent; flowers not known; fruiting-
calyx membranous, cupuliform, about 3 mm. long, the rim shortly
4-lobed; fruit globose, about 3 mm. in diameter, glabrous, nearly
surrounded by the densely fulvous-tomentose greatly enlarged disk
which is subglobose and to 10 mn. in diameter.
The type of this remarkable species was collected by Maximo
Ramos and Gregorio E. Edafio [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 37563] in
forests at an altitude of about 1200 meters on Mount Masingit, in
Kalinga Subprovince, Luzon, Philippine Islands, on February 17,
1920, and was deposited in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science
at Manila, but is now destroyed. The native vernacular name of
“Yagnai" is recorded for the plant.
Merrill (1922) says that "This species is remarkable for its
greatly enlarged, densely fulvous-tomentose disk which surrounds
and nearly incloses the fruit, a character that is unknown to me
for any other described species of the genus. It is further re-
markable for its unusually large leaves which are eglandular and
densely tomentose on the lower surface." Quisumbing & Merrill

This species was based by King and Gamble on H. N. Ridley 2787
from Selangor and on Derry 1005 and Maingay 1192 -- in whose honor
it was named -- from Malacca, as cotypes. These authors aay in
their original description (1908) "In Kew Herbarium, Maingay's
specimen has been placed under C. arborea, but the species differs
in many respects. The venation of the leaves is very different,
as is the tomentum of much smaller stellate hairs; the leaves are
nearly blunt; the tube of the corolla much longer, and its lobes
much shorter; and we have no hesitation in describing it as a new
species." In their key they distinguish the two species about as
follows:
1. Leaf-blades long-acuminate at the apex, the tomentum thick;
cymes dense; corolla-tube only about .075 inch long, merely

He cites a Derry s.n. from Hulu Chembong and a Cantley sen. from
Selangor, and sa: says 3 "Selangor, Sempang Track, Semangkok Pass; Ulu
Gombak Road; Langat. Native names: Poko chulak; tuto putih. Use:
wood for making fiddles." Other common names recorded for the
plant are "balek angin laut", "chulak", "hu khawi khao", "mendapor'?
"tampang besi, "tulo", Mtutok puteh", and "tutor",
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 231
The species has been found scattered in evergreen jungles at
100 meters altitude, flowering in April, May, and November. The
corollas are described as "white" on Bunkird 85 and Singapore
Field No. 16051 and as "yellowish" on Snan 210; Ridley calls them
"greenish".
It is worth noting that Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) regard-
ed C, maingayi as a synonym of C. tomentosa (L.) Murr., while
Fletcher (1938) regarded Cc. tomentosa var. typica Bakh. as a syn-
onym of C. maingayi.
In all, 7 herbarium specimens of C. maingayi and 2 mounted
photographs have been examined by me.

Tree, * about 10 m. tall, most of its parts (except the upper
surface of the adult leaves) more or less yellow-glandular and
stellate-plumose-pubescent, the indumentum dark-brown or dark
grayish-brown in color; branches terete, the younger ones more
or less compressed, yellow-glandulose, the younger parts densely
stellate-plumose-pubescent; branchlets brown or gray, stellate-
hairy, densely glandulose; leaves decussate-opposite; petioles
2--2.5 cm. long, very densely stellate-pubescent with brown or
gray hair, densely glandulose; leaf-blades subcoriaceous, oblong
to oblong—ovate, 12=-16 cm. long, 5--6 cm. wide, about equally
narrowed to the acuminate apex and the acute base, entire along
the margins, more or less stellate-pubescent above when young,
becoming glabrous or nearly glabrous in age, brownish-olivaceous
and slightly shiny above, paler and with numerous scattered
pale-yellow shiny glands beneath and also stellate-pubescent,
more densely so on the midrib and secondaries and with only scat-
tered stellate hairs on the lamina; secondaries about 9 per side,
upwardly curvate, anastomosing, prominent beneath; inflorescence
cymose, in the upper leaf-axils, solitary, 7--8 cm. in diameter,
densely many-flowered, dichotomously branched; peduncles stout,
about 8 cm. long, these along with the bracts, bractlets, and
232 PHYTO LOGI«a Vol. 21, no.
calyxes densely stellate-plumose-pubescent, the indumentum almost
obscuring the scattered shiny pale-yellow glands; bracts oblance-—
olate-spatulate, 6--8 mm. long; bractlets similar but much small-
er; calyx somewhat infundibular, about 3 mm. long, its rim equal-
ly 4-toothed or -lobed, the lobes short and acute; corolla white,
6—-7 mm. long, sparingly glandulose outside with small yellow
shiny glands, the lobes , subequal, oblong-ovate, 3--3.5 mn.
long, broadly rounded at the apex, sparingly stellate-pubescent
in lines and glandulose externally on the median portion; fila-
ments 7—-8 mm. long; anthers ovoid, about 1.2 mm. long, somewhat
glandulose on the back; ovary ovoid, very densely covered with
small shiny pale-yellow glands.
The type of this species was collected by Richard Crittenden
McGregor [Philip. Bur. Sci. 19687] on Mount Polis, in Ifugao Sub-
province, Luzon, Philippine Islands, and was deposited in the
herbarium of the Bureau of Science at Manila, but is now destroy-
ed. Merrill (1915) comments that the species is "Probably most
closely allied to Callicarpa subglandulosa Elm., but differing
from that species in many characters. Callicarpa megalantha is
remarkable for its comparatively large flowers which are indica-
ted by the collector as being white, a color otherwise unknown or
at least very rare in the genus, its long-peduncled cymes, and
its dark-brown or dark grayish-brown indumentum."
The species appears to be endemic to Luzon. Lam (1919) also
avers that "Its affinity is with C. subglandulosa {now known as
Geunsia pentandra (Roxb.) Merr.]; it has, however, leaves with
an attenuate base, whilst C. subglandulosa has leaves with a
somewhat rounded base." A common name recorded for it is
"“palayan". It has been found blooming in February and September,
and fruiting in September.
Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces the species to synonymy
under what he calls C. pentandra var. typica f. hexandra Bakh.
[=Geunsia hexandra (Teijsm. & Binn.) Koord.]. Material has been
misidentified and distributed in herbaria under that name. In
all, 5 herbarium specimens have been examined by me.

Kwangsi, China, and deposited in the herbarium of the Botanical
Institute of Sunyatsen University, Canton, China. Chang cites
also S. H. Chun 2800 from Hunan and compares the species (in Chin-

Merrill 8115 has extra large leaf-blades.
Merrill (1915) notes that "The species has been confused with
Callicarpa caudata Maxim., and C. longifolia Lam., and is mani-
festly allied to the former, differing in its very different in-
dumentum. It is apparently more closely allied to C. stenophylla
Merr., than to C. caudata, but is distinguished from the former by
its broader leaves. Among the extra-Philippine forms it is ap-
parently most closely allied to Callicarpa longifolia Lam., dif-
fering in its indumentum, shape of its leaves, and in details of
its flowers." He cites as typical material of C. merrillii the
following collections: Basilan: DeVore & Hoover 1, Hallier s.n.
Mindanao: Mrs. Clemens s.n. [Camp Keithley], Fénix s.n. [Herb.
Philip. Bur. Sci. 15802], E. D. Merrill 8115, C. B. Robinson s.n.
(Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 11802], R. S. Williams 2307. Mindoro: E.
D. Merrill 5556. Ticao: W. W. Clark s.n. (Herb. Philip. Forest
Bur. 253].
In my opinion, the species is most closely related to C. caudata
Maxim. Lam (1919) agrees, saying "Its affinity is with C. caudata,
from which it differs, however, by the obtuse base of the leaves,
and in some other points." Actually, the simple hairs on the lower
leaf-surface, seen very plainly on Elmer 10375 and on Herb. Philip.
Bur. Sci. 37388, 38816, & )601, constitute the quickest and easi-
est way to distinguish C. merrillii from C. caudata. In the aatter
species the pubescence is stellate everywhere. Callicarpa merril-
1ii — named in honor of Elmer Drew Merrill (1876—1956), who first
recognized it -—- is also related to C. stenophylla Merr. and, more
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 235
distantly, to C. longifolia Lam. It has been found growing along
small brooks in forests at low altitudes, flowering from April to
June and August to December, and fruiting in February, April,
June, and August to December. Vernacular names recorded for it
are "katonal", "palis", and "tigau". Bakhuizen van den Brink
(1921) reduces it to synonymy under what he calls C. cuspidata
Roxb. and cites the Ramos & Edafio s.n. [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci.
44601] collection. I I regard C. cuspidata Roxb. as cospecific
with C. pedunculata R. Br.
It should be noted here that the C. lancifolia of Millspaugh,
referred to in the synonymy above, is a valid West Indian species,
while that of Pavon and of Sessé & Mocifio is C. acuminata H.B.K.
Lam (1919) based his C. caudata var. simplicipuberula | on "Ler-
rill 10375" fron Dumaguete in the Cuernos Mountains on eastern _
Negros, Philippine Islands, collected in June, 1908, but this is
certainly an error in transcription for Elmer 10375. He describes
the variety as "folia vix denticulata, subtus pilis simplicibus
vestita", with young fruits in June.
Material of C. merrillii has been misidentified and distributed
in herbaria under the names C. caudata Maxim., C. cuspidata Roxb.,
and C. longifolia Lam. On the other hand, the Wi. W. Clark s.n.
(Herb. Philip. Forest Bur. Hip ‘McClure 15899, | Mearns & Hutchin-
Edafio eee (Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 49295], Ramos & Pasgasio s SNe
{Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 34775], and R. S. Williams 2307, distrib-
uted as C. merrillii, are actually C. caudata Maxim.
In all, 19 herbarium specimens, including type material of one
of the names involved, have been examined by me.

Shrub, 3 m. tall; trunk 10 cm. in diameter; branchlets slender,
round, stellately farinose or tomentose; leaves decussate-oppo-
site; petioles mm. long; leaf-blades chartaceous, ovate-
lanceolate or lanceolate, 6 cm. long, 2 cm. wide, acutely acumin-
ate at the apex, serrate along the margins except near the base,
acute at the base, more or less densely pubescent with simple
hairs above, stellate-tomentose and glandulose beneath; secon-
daries 6—-8 pairs; inflorescence stellate- farinose or -tomentose,
the cymes small, 2 cm. long; peduncles 5—10 mm. long; calyx 1—
1.5 mm. long, somewhat stellate-pubescent and glandulose, its rim
with subacute deltoid teeth; corolla white or violet-pink, 3 mm.
long, sparsely pubescent, with ), lines of glands along the tube
and on the lobes, the lobes 1—-1.5 mm. long; stamens yellow, ex-
serted, i—l.5 mm. long; anthers ellipsoid, densely glandulose on
both sides; style 5.5 m. long; stigma capitate; ovary densely
glandular on the upper half, glabrous on the lower half; fruiting-
calyx and fruit not known.
The type of this species was collected by Hugh Cuming (no.
1165) in the province of Albay, Luzon, Philippine Islands. This
is the only collection cited by Vidal y Soler on page 13) of his
work (1885), where he designated the binomial as "n. sp." On
pages 187--188 he adds "Herb. Prop. 161 Prov. Abra", Lam (1919)
cites a Cuming s.n. from Luzon, deposited as sheet number 908.
158--383 in the Rijksherbarium at Leiden, as well as a "Com. d.
1. fl. for. d. Fil. no. 1641, Abra". He also cites, with a
question, a "Teysmann, H. Bog. no. 892" from Tanini, Timor, and
notes "The doubtful specimen: Korthals in H. L.-B. sub no. 908.
265—958, gives no locality".
Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces this species to syno-
nymy under what he calls C. cuspidata Roxb. I regard Roxburgh's
name as belonging in the synonymy of C. pedunculata R. Br.
It is not at all certain that C. micrantha may not prove, after
all, when type material is available for study, to be conspecific
with some other taxon. The Ramos & Edafio s.n. (Herb. Philip. Bur.
Sci. 4561], distributed as C. micrantha, matches perfectly the
type collection of C. elegans Hayek and therefore is regarded by
me as representing the latter species, while Ramos & Edafio s.n.
(Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 46955] is C. formosana f, angustata
Moldenke. Callicarpa micrantha actually is a taxon known to me
only from the literature listed above. It represents only one
of the many problems that still mst be solved before a formal
monograph of the genus, with a key to accepted taxa, can be pub-

The type of this species was collected by Philipp Franz von
Siebold in Japan, not by "K. Th. E. von Siebold and J. G. Zuccar-
ini" as erroneously stated in Fedde, Repert. Spec. Nov. 0: 116
(1936). Some recent collectors refer to the leaves as "opaque
above" or "opaque on both sides", but what is meant by these state-
ments is not clear to me. The corollas are described as "purple"
on Charette 1738 and S. Suzuki SI.55, "mallow-pink" on Yamozaki
34, and "orchid-purple" on Charette 156).

The species has been found growing in forests, summer~green
forests, and deciduous broad-leaved forests, copses and thickets,
damp woods, open borders and roadsides, and in humus in half-
shade on mountainsides, at the base of and borders of ravines,
and on open forested banks, at altitudes of 20 to 1000 meters,
flowering from May to August and in November, fruiting in June,
August, October, and November. Vernacular and common names re-
corded for it are "chobsalnam", "kaipinam", "ko isi wara",
"kottsabinam", "namainoki", "waichhaarige Schénfrucht", Nyabu-
murasaki", "yabumurasaki", * nyabu-murasakishukibu", tyahumurasaki",
and "yama-murasaki".
Suzuki tells us that the spectes is occasional in the shrub
layer in sunny, moderately humid, windy, loam soil, with human
disturbance, in deciduous oak forests. Wilson reports it "common"
on Quelpart Island. Yamozaki says that it is "used as a garden
tree" on Shikoku. Bean (1951) avers that it was introduced into
cultivation [in England] in 1863. Li (1963) says that "It was
first introduced by Richard Oldham in 1861—63 to Kew. It is
still raised at Kew in a sheltered spot but is not as hardy nor as
handsome as C. Bodinieri var. Giraldii. It is not certain whether
the plant at present is in cultivation in America." The Herb.
Bogor. 18099 collection, cited below, bears no indication on its
label that it came from cultivated material, but this seems most
probable.
A hybrid between C. mollis Sieb. & Zucc. and C. japonica Thunb.
is known as xC. shirasawana Mak. This and its synonyms, C. mol-
iis Shirasawa and C. mollis x japonica Schneid., are often m placed
in the synonymy of C C. mollis (as, for example, by Bakhuizen van
den Brink in 1921 and by me - me in my earlier publications), but are
discussed separately herein. The illustration given by Shirasawa
(1895) as C. mollis represents the hybrid instead.
It is worth noting here that the Miquel (1865) reference given
in the synonymy and bibliography above is dated "1866" by Bakhui-
zen van den Brink (1921), that of Masamune (1955) is often cited
as volume "6", and that Of Siebold & Zuccarini (1846) as "(1):
526. 184", which is definitely not correct, the "526" being the
species number and not the page number, and "18h; is the date for
part 1 of this work. The C. mollis of Koorders, referred to in
the same synonymy above, is a syno synonym of C. henasie Maxim., that
of Matsumura is C. oshimensis var. okinawensis (Nakai) Hatus.,
that of Shirasawa is xf. shirasawana Mak., while that of Requien
and of Willdenow is C. - acuminata H.B.K., and the C. farinosa of
Roxburgh is C. tomentosa (L.) Murr.
The description of C. mollis by Siebold & Zuccarini (1846) is
worth repeating here because it is not available in many libraries
in the original: "ramis teretibus novellis canescentibus, foliis

Li (1963) describes it as a "Shrub, 2--5 m. tall, much-
branched, the branchlets densely stellate-tomentose. Leaves obo-

tomentose; calyx deeply l-lobed, stellate-tomentose; corolla
lilac-pink, glandular outside; stamens not exceeding the corolla
lobes. Fruit globose, dull purple, about Sm. across."
Kriissmann (1960) says "Xhnlich c. bodinieri, aber Zweige mehr

It should be noted that the name, Callicarpa mollis, is not
precluded for this taxon under the present International Rules of
Botanic Nomenclature because the C. mollis of Willdenow, effect-
ively published ) years earlier, was published in synonymy only
and is therefore not regarded as having been published validly.
Masamune (1955) includes in the synonymy of C. mollis the name
"Callicarpa japonica Thunb." of Tasiro (189), but with a question.
2h2 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, now &
He also regards the "C. mollis" of Matsumura (1899 & 1912, inso-
far as Ryukyu specimens are concerned), Kuroiwa (1900, in part),
Wilson (1920), and Sakaguchi (192)) as referring to C. oshimensis
var. okinawensis.
Sugawara (1969) tells us that the true C. mollis grows in the
shrub layer in plantations of Cryptomeria japonica. Ohwi (1965)
provides us with a key to the Japanese species of the genus, for
which see under C. dichotoma in the present series of notes.
As to the natural geographic distribution of C. mollis, Nakai
(1923) says "Hondo, Shikoku et Kiusiu", Li (1963) says "This spe-
cies is native to japan and Korea", Masamune (1955) says "Tangge-
sima; Kurosima; Yakusima; Iriomote; Honsyu; Sikoku;j, Kyusyu; Tai-
wan; Corea", and Ohwi (1965) says "Honshu (Rikuchu Prov. and
southw.), Shikoku, Kyushu. -— Korea". Hara (1958) unites var.
microphylla sieb. *& Zucc. with the typical form of the species
and gives the combined distribution as "Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, and
Formosa",
Actually, I have found no specimens among those examined by me
that were really collected in the Ryukyu Islands. The so-called
records from these islands as given by Matsumura and Masamune are
probably based on misidentifications of material that will prove
to have been C. oshimensis Hayata and/or C. oshimensis var. irio-
motensis (Masam.) Hatus. and C. oshimensis var. okinawensis (Na-
kai) Hatus.

Material of C. mollis has been misidentified and distributed
in herbaria under the names C. cuspidata Roxb., C. japonica Thunb,,
C. kochiana Mak., and Elaeagnus glabra Thunb. On the other hand,

An overview of the Hookeriales
Harvey A. Miller
University of I1llingis
Urbana, Illinois
The Hookeriales have been considered to be one of the
more homogeneous orders of mosses. Suborders Ephemeropsidineae
(= Nematacineae) and Hookeriineae have been distinguished
for many years on the basis of the gametophyte being reduced
to a protonema bearing sexual buds in the first and a normal
leafy gametophyte in the second. The common bond within the
order is based almost entirely on the usually small, often
roughened, sporophyte with a double peristome, the conical
to mitriform, often fringed, calyptra, a comparatively lax
areolation and an absence of alar cells. The "hookeriaceous"
peristome is usually characterized by a lamellate exostome
somewhat taller than the endostome with its low to medium
basal membrane and simple processes which are only rarely
separated by a single cilium. As Crosby (1969) correctly
observed of the Hookeriaceae as defined by Brotherus (1925),
"one finds no character or group of characters that unite
the group." However, one can find an aggregate of features
among groups of genera which can be aligned to show a common
heritage even though not all are present in any single genus
or group of allied genera. Welch (1966, 1969) has considered
the Hookeriaceae in the broad sense.
The acknowledged heterogeneity of the Hookeriaceae as
defined by Brotherus can be better understood if we recognize
that his description and arrangement is essentially an
abridgement of Fleischer's system presented in 1908. The
success of Fleischer's system for the mosses is due to his
acceptance of the concepts of evolution, as known at that
time, and their application to develop an arrangement on
something other than an artificial basis. Bessey's "dicta"
presented in 1915 indicating the importance of reduction as
one aspect of evolutionary advancement had not yet appeared
in a refined form, so we find that, for the most part, the
taxa have been placed in a simple to complex order. Further,

2hh PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 2b, noe ly
great stress was placed on the structure of the peristome
and the morphology of the gametophyte was considered to be
of somewhat lesser importance. If both sporophytic and
gametophytic structures are taken into account, and if we
allow reduction as an indication of advancement, the
Hookeriaceae can be rearranged into several comparatively
homogeneous groups with a common heritage.
Because the reorganization proposed differs considerably
in some ways from the Fleischer-Brotherus system, my
principles of classification are listed below. In utilizing
the principles the following general premises, derived in
the main from Hutchinson (1959), must be taken into account:
1) evolution is both upwards and downwards, the latter
involving degradation and degeneration; 2) evolution does
not involve all organs, or both generations, at the same time
and both elaboration and degeneration may be occurring at
the same time; and 3) evolution has generally been consistent
with a particular tendency potentially being carried to the
extreme of elaboration or reduction although the extremes
may not be present in extant groups.
Some Principles for Moss Systematics
N.B. The principles are arranged from general to
specific features, but no relative importance is to be
implied from the order.
1. Within any group, the larger mosses are generally
more primitive than smaller ones.
2. Closely attached forms with all stems leafy are more
primitive than stoloniferous forms.
3. Perennial mosses are more primitive than the annual
or ephemeral species including those with a
persistent protonema.
4. Both completely aquatic and xerophytic forms are
derived from an aerial, but almost constantly moist,
ancestor.
5. A central strand in the stem is a primitive feature.

Miller, Hookeriales 25
Stems with a several-layered cortex comprised of
thick-walled or stereid cells are more primitive
than stems with a unistratose or undifferentiated
cortex.
Leaf gaps are a primitive feature.
Radial leaf arrangement is more primitive than
distichous arrangement with the complanate
condition probably intermediate.
A strong costa is more primitive than a weak one
with the ecostate condition most derived.
An excurrent costa is an advanced characteristic
sometimes associated with blade reduction.
Well developed alar cells may be an advanced
condition.
Smooth leaf cells may be primitive with papillate~
cells the derived condition.
Extremely thin-walled or thick-walled cells are
derived.
Specialized vegetative reproduction by brood-bodies
is more advanced than vegetative propagation by
simple fragmentation and regeneration.
Monoicous sexuality is more primitive than the
dioicous condition.
Numerous gametangia and paraphyses are more primitive
than few archegonia or antheridia per inflorescence.
Sexual dimorphism, expressed in the extreme by the
formation of dwarf males and the heterosporous
tendency, as in some species of Macromitrium and
Homalothecium, is advanced.
An elongate seta bearing an exposed capsule is more
primitive than a short seta with an immersed capsule.
A capsule wall with stomata, especially when associated
with air chambers, represents a more primitive
condition than the capsule lacking stomata.
26 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no.
20. Cleistocarpy is probably a derived condition in
the Bryidae.
21. A reduced endostome lacking processes on the basal
membrane is advanced over one with processes and a
high basal membrane; the presence of cilia may also
be advanced.
22. A peristome which is very much reduced or absent
is derived from a normal peristome.
23. Retention of the operculum or a portion of it on
the columella is an advanced condition.
Several taxonomically useful morphological variants are
not included above because I have been unable to divine the
relative conditions of such things as leaf borders, lamellae,
cell shapes, paraphyllia, plane vs. keeled structures, single
vs. double peristomes, acrocarpy vs. pleurocarpy (there is
good evidence both ways), calyptra type, and a multitude of
structural features of the peristome such as median lines,
surface, striations, and accessory ornamentation. Surely
the list may be substantially revised, but if it serves to
stimulate development of a better classification and
critical morphological research, the purpose will have been
well served.
As defined until Crosby's (1969) Pilotrichum revision
appeared, the Hookeriineae was comprised of the Pilotrichaceae,
Hookeriaceae, and the Hypopterygiaceae. Because he found
little difference between Pilotrichum and Helicoblepharum
or among Thamniopsis, Pilotrichidium and Diploneuron, Crosby
merged the Pilotrichaceae with the Hookeriaceae. He apparently
was correct in his evaluation of the generic relationships
of Pilotrichum with members of the Hookeriaceae as defined
at that time. If we consider the position of Pilotrichum
and its allied species within the order, it is among the more
primitive types and quite distinct from all but a few genera
customarily included in the Hookeriaceae-Hypnelloideae. In
such a case it seems best to set this group apart as the
family Pilotrichaceae and to arrange the genera within it in
as natural a sequence as possible.
From some Pilotrichaceous type, one may derive the
Hookeriaceae-Hookeriopsidoideae with a long double costa,
elongate seta, complanate foliage, and a pinnate habit. This,
in turn, mainly by reduction of the costa and seta along with
1971 Miller, Hookeriales
the developinent of comparatively lax areolation, leads to
the Hookeriaceae-Hookerioideae.
The Hookerioideae, perhaps through a common ancestor
to Eriopus, link to the Distichophyllaceae characterized
by the asymmetric, bordered, once costate, parenchymatous
more or less isodiametrically areolate leaves and the cross-
striate peristome. Muller suggested that this group be
recognized as the family Mniadelphaceae nearly 100 years
ago but no description was included so his name cannot
stand.
The Daltoniaceae resemble the Distichophyllaceae in
the bordered leaves with a single costa and isodiametric
cells but differ in their smaller size, radial symmetry,
uniform leaves, upright habit and their selection of
ephemeral habitats as twigs, leaves, and even the backs of
large weevils in the cloud forests of New Guinea. The
peristome differs from others in the order in that both
ranks are strongly papillose and well-developed with the
exostome lacking striae.
It is quite likely that Daltonia and Ephemeropsis have
a common origin but the separation, as evidenced by the
striate rather than papillose peristome, is great and doubt-
less of long standing. Fossils of Ephemeropsis have been
found in middle Eocene deposits from Germany suggesting that
it was once more widely distributed than just to Malesia and
New Zealand as at present. Continued recognition of the
family in a separate suborder seems quite proper.
24,7
Although Fleischer and Brotherus placed the Symphyodontaceae
and Leucomiaceae in the Hookeriales, Dixon (1932) assigned
them to the Hypnales (assuming that "Symphysodontaceae" is
a mis-print or lapsus for Symphyodontaceae). The morphology
of the gametophyte is suggestive of Vesicularia and allied
Hypnaceous genera but the evidence is not clear. Unfortunately,
Dixon did not give any explanation for the shift which has not
been taken up by Bartram (1939, 1949), Crum and Bartram
(1958), or Crum and Steere (1957), for example. The leaves
of Symphyodon have a few alar cells but the erect, spiny,
AOS a capsule with simple papillose exostome teeth and a
reduced endostome is quite unlike that characteristic of the
Hypnaceae. Leucomium has a Hookeria-like peristome and shares
the very large thin-walled cells characteristic of Hookeria
as well. Until some evidence can be offered to substantiate
Dixon's opinion, I am satisfied that these families can be
reasonably considered among the Hookeriales.
24,8 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no.
A specialized derivative, probably from the Distichophy]laceae,
is the Hypopterygiineae comprised of the Hypopterygiaceae and
the Cyathophoraceae. The complanate habit is carried to the
extreme with the development of markedly different obliquely in-
serted, wide-spreading, lateral leaves and reduced, transverse,
erect, amphigastrial leaves. A stipe with widely spaced, often
scale-like, leaves or a prostrate stoloniferous stem is
developed. The very short to absent costa, regular alignment
of the amphigastria, and very short seta serve to set off the
Cyathophoraceae from the Hypopterygiaceae.
In the following revision I have arranged the taxa so far
as possible according to the principles listed above. As the
positions of the genera are subject to various interpretations
depending upon the importance placed on one feature or another,
I have not attempted to further justify the sequence of genera
as presented. Some groups remain heterogenous and may be
defined ultimately in somewhat different ways.

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in
its leaf-blades being narrower, about 3 cm. long and 5—8 m.
wide, and the peduncles shorter, 2—l.5 cm. long.
The type of the variety was collected by Jo&%o Murga Pires, Nilo
Tomaz da Silva, and R. Souza (no. 9652) in the cerrado between
Brasilfa and Niquel&ndia, Distrito Federal, Brazil, on May 16,
1963, and is deposited in my personal herbarium at Plainfield,
New Jersey. The collectors describe the plant as a shrub, with
the bracts "esverdeadas", and the corollas cream-color.

Small shrub, to 1 m. tall; branches and branchlets slender,
smooth; leaves decussate-opposite, numerous, very small, petio-
late; petioles extremely slender; leaf-blades chartaceous, uni-
formly green on both surfaces, round or rounded-elliptic, 0.5—1.5
cm. long and wide, glabrous on both surfaces, shiny, rounded or
obtuse to subacute at the apex, entire along the margins, mostly
rounded at the base, inconspicuously venose; inflorescence termin-
al, very small, few-flowered, cymose, about 1.5 om. long and 1 cm.
wide, its branches minutely puberulent; calyx cupuliform, about 2
mm. long and wide, light-colored, pulverulent on the outside, its
rim plainly 5-toothed.
The type of this distinctive species was collected by André
Guillaumin and M. G. Baumann-Bodenheim (no. 9615) on serpentine

(no. 6476) in calcareous soil at the foot of Quen Toro near Nouméa,

describes the plant as a bush, 30 cm. tall, and avers that it is
merely a juvenile form of what he calls P. intgrifolia L. [now
known as P. obtusifolia R. Br.]. This seems highly unlikely be-
caule the latter has been collected in literally hundreds of
widely scattered localities throughout the Pacific area, often
with large series of specimens representing each collection, with
never such a juvenile form found!

triangular teeth about 0.5 mm. long; corolla hypocrateriforn,
metallic-blue, its tube slightly surpassing the calyx, the limb
about 7 mm. wide, densely white-strigillose in the throat.
The type of this species was collected by H. S. Irwin, S. F.
da Fons8ca, R. Souza, R. Reis dos Santos, and J. Ramos (no. 28208)
on outcrops in an area of campo, cerrado on outcrops, and wooded
valleys, at an elevation of 1200 meters, about 3 km. north of
SHo Jo#o Chapada, in the Serra do Espinhago, Minas Gerais, Bra-
zil, on March 24, 1970, and is deposited in my personal herbarium
at Plainfield, New Jersey. It is named in honor of the senior
collector, who has done such noteworthy work on the flora of Guy-
ana, Surinam, and Brazil and to whose labors we owe so much of
our present knowledge of the flora of these areas.

as U.S.A. distributors. 1968. $1.50.
This complete revision and fuller development of the first edi-
tion of 1952 is a valuable contribution from the author who has
spent his whole professional life developing this field. It isa
well written, well developed and well illustrated treatment for
each part and for the plant as a whole. "That plants exemplify
the phenomenon of continued embryology cannot be denied: it is
there as an evident fact of observation (the great ascending
trunk of a giant Californian redwood may be the result of 3,000
years of apical growth or continued embryology!)"
The book is very neat, yet Allium is misspelled on p. 308 and
induction on p. 313.
I like the author's outlook:"The fruits of molecular biology,
which are already remarkable and are growing with increasing ac-
celeration, are of vital importance. But they can never be self-
sufficient, for the growing plant has organizational characteris-
tics not only at the molecular level, but also at the several
higher levels -- cell, tissue, organ —- which we see in the har-
moniously developed whole organism, as well as in its several
specialized organs. For the same reason, there can never be a
progressive botanical science based on a single branch of inqui-
ry, be it morphology, physiology, genetics, ecology, etc.
Botany — the science of plants — has a heritage from all its
branches....Let us constantly seek new facts, liberating ideas,
validating experiments and inferences of wide generality."

Each edition of this standard valuable work has been somewhat
updated and freshly and richly illustrated. The twenty-two
authors of this edition are well recognized in their respective
fields of specialization. The book is well organized and dupli-
cations, gaps, contradictions, and divergent styles of writing
are all avoided. This is a real credit to the experienced edi-
tor, who also authors five articles.
The book is divided into eight parts carefully covering these
topics: conservation in the United States with the concomitant
economics, water use and abuse, mineral resources and fuels, grass-

land and forest resources, wild life including fish, recreation-
al resources, urban and national planning, and the conservation
of man himself. The illustrations on flooding and the United
States soil maps and classifications are highlights of this
edition. The format is attractive to and easy on the eyes. Just
one slight printing error was noticed -—- the misspelling of vol-
canig on p. 72.
This text will continue to have considerable use throughont
our campuses that are at all rbrally aware or oriented. It may
be bypassed by urban-limited schools to the great loss of the
students whose lives have been limited by asphalt, concrete,
brick and canned food.

habitat, light and soil requirements, salt tolerance, sources,
culture, propagation and pests. There is a glossary and index.
NEW NORTH AMERICAN UNIFOLIOLATE CROTALARTIA TAXA

Donald R, Windler*
Over the last several years I have been engaged in studies
of the North American species of Crotalaria related to
Crotalaria sagittalis L, During these studies it became
evident that some of the plants examined represented new taxa,
In the text which follows, three species and two varieties are
described for the first time, A third variety is transferred
to a different species from the one under which it was origin-
ally recognized, Dr, Robert H, Mohlenbrock, Southern Illinois
University, has translated the descriptions into Latin and Mrs,
Miriam Wysong Meyer has prepared illustrations for each of the
new species,

The plants which I have ascribed to this species were
treated by Senn (1939) under two specific names: Crotalaria
angulata and C, maritima, Senn listed the epithet rotundifolia
as a synonym for “C, angu angulata Miller, Fernald and Schubert (1948)
in publishing discussions of American types in British herbaria,
indicated that the name C, rotundifolia actually applied to the
plants Senn had treated as C. maritima,
Figure 3, Crotalaria nayaritensis, A, Habit and leaf
variation, B, Stem,
26h, PHY Tf 0 LOOT &# Vol. 21, nos
During the present study, the two taxa were judged to be
cospecific, The earliest name which appeared to apply to the
species was C, angulata, a name Miller had based on a plant
grown from seed from Campeche,
The application of this epithet is in question for. several
reasons,
1, Britten and Baker (1897) indicate the type does not
differ from C, biflora L,, an Asian plant, This
observation has been confirmed by Dr, Robson of the
British Museum (Personal communication, Nov, 1968,
in a letter to S, W, Leonard),
2. No plants referrable to C, angulata of Senn have
been observed from the vicinity of Campeche,
3, Miller's description of C, angulata does not match
the application of Senn or the available type in
the Miller Herbarium,
Since these points seem to indicate one or possibly more
errors, I feel that the name should be rejected as a source of
confusion (ICBN Articles 69 & 70),
After rejection of Crotalaria angulata, the earliest
name which applies to the plants of the species is C, rotundi-
pete Walt.} Gmelin, Two varieties, based on Senn's species,
C. angulata and C, maritima, are recognized, Crotalaria
ee variety rotundifolia is the plant with appressed
pubescence referred to C, maritima by Senn, The other variety

Crotalaria pilosa var, robusta Senn, 1939, Vol. 41, p. 331.
Type locality: Temascaltepec, Cumbre de Tejupilco,
(Holotype: Hinton 2686 US!)
This variety was originally described by Senn under
Crotalaria pilosa because of its stipules which wing the stem
for more than one internode, However, the variety lacks the
terminal inflorescence and small flower size of C, pilosa,
Variety robusta's overall similarity to C, bupleurifolia var.
bupleurifolia in habit, inflorescence, and flower structure
were used to place the variety into C, bupleurifolia,

The Martius (1835) reference cited above is often cited as
"1833", the date of its submission for publication, but Dr. J. H.
Barnhart says "I can find no evidence that this paper was publish-
ed until 1835".
This species has been regarded as properly named E. septangu-
lare With. up to the present in my publications. I have referred
from time to time in the past to the name Cespa aquatica J. Hill,
270 PE.Y T0406 LA Vol. 21, no. 4
but was unable to find incontrovertible evidence that it had been
published validly under the present rules of botanic nomenclature.
Now, however, the matter has been investigated thoroughly by Dandy
(1969) and his extremely important discussion of the matter:is re-
produced here for the benefit of readers who may not have the
journal in which he published his results available in their lib-
rary:
oein 1909 G. C. Druce drew attention to the existence in his
copy of Hill's Herbarium Britannicum (vol. 1: 1769) of an addi-
tional plate 66 illustrating, with dissections, a genus Cespa
with the single species C. aquatica (‘Water Turffwort'). The The spe=-
cies depicted was Eriocaulon septangulare, described under that
name by Withering in 1776, and so Druce on grounds of priority
published the new combination E. aquaticum (Hill) Druce. For some
reason Druce in his later works did not persist in the use of the
name E. aquaticum; thus in his British plant list ed. 2, 18
(1928), he retained the name E. septangulare (with E. aquaticum
cited as a synonym), and in his Comital Flora, 320 (1932), he used
the name E. septangulare without mention of E E. aquaticum. Possibly
he now thought his combination E. aquaticum “to be invalidated by
E. aquaticum Sagot ['Mss. in Herb. Sagot.'] ex Koern. in Mart.,
Fl. Brasil. 3 (1), 489 (1863); but this name was published only as
a synonym of E. melanocephalum Kunth and so cannot invalidate E.
aquaticum (Hill) Druce.
"The additional plate 66 present in Druce's copy of the Herbar-
ium Britannicum does not appear in all copies of the work; but at
the British Museum, Bloomsbury, and at the Linnean Society of
London there are copies which contain not only this additional
plate but also four additional pages of text (numbered 96%*—99+)
in which Cespa aquatica is described at length. These extra pages
and plate......were presumably not issued soon enough for inclu-
sion in all copies of the Herbarium Britannicum. According to
Hill's statement on p. 96% the plant concerned had been collected
in the previous year ('mense Septemb. anni elapsi') on the island
of Skye by James Robertson, and had been communicated to Hill,
with an illustration and description, by John Hope of Edinburgh.
Hope himself published an account of it in Phil. Trans. Lond. 59,
2h1--26, t. 12 (1770), in which he stated that it had been found
by Robertson in September 1768. Thus Hill's ‘anni elapsi' was
1768, so that his additional pages and plate were issued, or at
least printed, in 1769. Hill in any case died in 1775, before
Withering's publication of E. septangulare in 1776.
"Hope correctly placed the plant in Eriocaulon, but misidenti-
fied it with E. decangulare L., a species confined to North Amer-
ica. Hill, on n the other hand, treated it as forming a new genus,
Cespa, which, according to his footnote on p. 98%, he considered
to differ teem Eriocaulon in having the corolla 'depetala', Erio-
caulon being 'tripetalum'. Hope mentioned the plant's vegetative
resemblance to 'Calamaria Dill. Musc. Tab. 80' (Isoetes L.) in
1971 Moldenke, Notes on Eriocaulaceae 271
which, however, a flowering stem was unknown; Hill's footnote on
p. 96% makes the same point."
All the discussion, therefore, given by me in these notes
previous to the present date under E, septangulare, including
bibliography, list of illustrations, and citations, should he
transferred to E. aquaticum.

OBSERVATIONS ON MENTZELIA IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
H. J. Thompson and Joyce Roberts?
Department of Botanical Sciences,
University of California, Los Angeles
Our work on Mentzelia section Trachyphytum
(Loasaceae) has disclosed a number of new species
and indicated the necessity for several nomenclatural
changes. Some of these are presented here so that
they may be included in our contribution of the
Loasaceae in the new Manual of Southern California
Botany being prepared by Philip Munz. In addition,
some new chromosome numbers in Mentzelia are report-
ed in the cited specimens. All chromosome analyses
are from microsporocytes, and at least two indivi-
duals from each population were counted.
MENTZELIA CALIFORNICA Thompson & Roberts, sp. nov.
Herba erecta; folia rosulae irregulariter
lobata lobis longis acutis, superiores ovato-
lanceolatae; petala 5, lutea basi macula crocea,
ovata, 6-11 mm longa; stamina 5-6 mm longa; stylus
5-6 mm longus; capsulae recurvae, 1.5-3.5 cm longae;
semina irregulariter angulata, leviter tessellata,
papillis rotundatis vel subacutis.
Plant erect, branching habit spreading, stems
stout, 2-4 dm tall; leaves linear-lanceolate, rosette
leaves irregularly lobed with long, pointed lobes,
upper leaves ovate-lanceolate, fewer lobed or rarely
entire; flowers solitary in the axils and terminal,
opening in the morning; bracts entire, ovate-
lanceolate, not white at base; calyx lobes 4-6 mm
long, petals 5, 6-11 mm long, yellow with an orange
spot at base, ovate, apex acute or rounded; stamens
5-6 mm long; style 5-6 mm long; capsules narrowed at
the base, recurved to 180°, 1.5-3.5 cm long, about
1.5 mm wide; seeds irregularly angled, slightly
tessellate, the surface with medium, rounded to
Slightly pointed papillae; n=27. Holotype:
California, San Bernardino Co., 6.3 mi. south of
Salt Wells, Thompson 1644 (US; isotype LA).
Mentzelia californica can occur in mixed colo-
nies with M. albicaulis (n=36), M. veatchiana (n=27),
M. mojavensis (n=2?), and M. obscura (n=l). This

species hybridizes with M. mojavensis, but the
hybrids show reduced fertility with an average of
52% good pollen. Hybrids between M. californica and
M. veatchiana are completely sterile. Mentzelia
californica has usually been identified in herbaria
as M. albicaulis and has not been recognized as a
distinct species. Although it is similar to M.
albicaulis, M. californica differs in having larger
flowers, M. albicaulis has petals 2-6 mm long; longer
styles, those of M. albicaulis are 3-5 mm long; much
less pronounced papillae on the seed surface; ovate-
lanceolate bracts, while M. albicaulis has bracts
that are linear or lanceolate. Mentzelia californica
is also somewhat similar to M. jonesii (n=18) but the
two species do not occur together; M. californica has
a more northern distribution while M. jonesii occurs
in the more southern portions of the Mojave Desert,
the Colorado Desert, and north along the Colorado
River. Mentzelia californica is found on desert
Plains and roadside embankments with Larrea, Dalea,
and Lycium, below 3000 ft., in the northern Mojave
Desert, eastward into Nevada. Flowering period is
March through April.

Acad. Scie 5: lo. 1906. Holotype: Signal Mts.,
Colorado Desert near boundary, 30 Mar. 1901, T. G.
Brandegee (LAM!; isotype UC!).
Mentzelia desertorum occurs on fine, sandy
desert flats below 2000 ft. with Larrea, Encelia, and
Abronia. It is common throughout the Sonoran Desert
northward sporadically to extreme southern Inyo Co.
It is very similar to M. obscura, described below,
1971 Thompson & Roberts, Observations on Mentzelia 281
and often occurs in mixed colonies with M. albicaulis
(n=36) and M. obscura (n=18). Mentzelia desertorum
can easily be distinguished from M. albicaulis by
seed characters; M. obscura has smooth seeds, not
tessellate, while seeds of M. albicaulis are very
papillose and tessellate. When growing with M.
obscura, it can most easily be differentiated by its
very short, rounded leaf lobes, which are long and
pointed in M. obscura. Also, where the two species
grow together, M. obscura always has larger flowers
than M. desertorun. We have counted eighteen popula-
tions and are here reporting the chromosome number as
=9. Voucher specimens are in the US and LA herbaria;
representative specimens of which are:

Jepson. Man. Fl. Pl. calif. 650. 1925. Lectotype:
Kern Co., Randsburg, Hall & Chandler 6880 (JEPS!).
The type specimen cited by Jepson is "Hall & Chandler
6680", but this specimen is a Scirpus, not a Mentzelia,
There is a Hall & Chandler 6880 from Randsburg whic
fits the deScription given by Jepson, and we are
assuming the specimen number originally cited by
Jepson is probably a typographical error.
Mentzelia eremophila is very common along canyon
slopes of the eastern Margins of Kern Co. and the
northwestern corner of San Bernardino Co., in associa-
tion with Larrea, Yucca brevifolia, and Dalea, mostly
below 4000 ft. Although it has not previously been
recognized as a distinct species, it is nonetheless
readily distinguished from all other species of
Mentzelia. It has large flowers with petals over
-5 cm in length, a long style over 1 cm, and very
deeply and sharply lobed leaves, which has caused it
to be identified in many herbaria as M. lindleyi.
However, its entire bracts and recurved capsules,
together with its distinctive seeds (rounded with a
pronounced hilum) are very different from the lobed

bracts and erect capsules of M. lindleyi. Also, M.
lindleyi occurs only on serpentine slopes of
Foothret Wd. communities, while M. eremophila is
strictly a desert species. Chromosome numbers have
been ascertained from eight populations, with voucher
specimens in the US and LA herbaria, and the number
is reported here as n=9. Representative specimens

Mentzelia jonesii is found in rather coarse
soil on desert plains and Slopes with Larrea, Yucca
brevifolia, Coleogyne, and Opuntia, often growing up
rou, desert shrubs, below 4000 ft., from south-
central Inyo Co. south throughout the Mojave Desert
and eastward to southern Nevada and western Arizona
along the Colorado River. This species often occurs
in mixed populations with M. obscura (n=18) and M.
albicaulis (n=36), but is easily distinguished by
its larger flowers and longer styles; M. jonesii
has petals longer than 8 mm, those of M. albicaulis
and M. obscura are less than 8 mm; the styles of M.
onesii are 6-10 mm while those of M. albicaulis and
M. obscura are 3-5 mm long. It differs from M.
obscura also in that the seeds of M. obscura are
Smaller, not tessellate, and have small pointed
papillae, while those of M. jonesii are tessellate
and have moderately sized papillae. Chromosome
numbers have been determined from eight populations
and the number is reported here as n=18. Although
artificial hybrids have been made in the laboratory
between M. Jjonesii and M. obscura, also n=18, they

Mentzelia mojavensis occurs on desert plains and
roadside embankments ong the western margins of the
Mojave Desert in Los Angeles and Kern counties, below
3500 ft., with Larrea and Yucca brevifolia. It is
often found in mixed populations with M. veaten2og

Good pollen. Hybrids between M. californica and M.
veatchiana produced in the laboratory are very

aided the authors in determining the species limits.
Mentzelia ravenii occurs along roadside embank-
ments and canyon slopes associated with Larrea and
Yucca brevifolia, in desert margin areas in Los
Angeles County and western Riverside County. This
species is rare both in nature and in herbaria. Most
herbaria specimens have been variously referred to M.
gracilenta, M. veatchiana, or M. montana. Mentzelia
ravenii occurs Commonly with M. veatchiana (n=27) and
though similar to the latter species, can be differ-
entiated on the basis of the following; M. ravenii has
yellow petals while the desert populations of M.
veatchiana are usually deep orange; M. ravenii has a
Spreading branching habit in contrast to the strict
pattern of M. veatchiana; the bracts of M. ravenii
are much broader and often somewhat clasping, while
those of M. veatchiana are narrow and not clasping.
Flowering period is March through April.

Acrolasia tridentata Davidson has been recog-
nized by previous monographers (as in Darlington,
1934) as a synonym of M. tricuspis var. brevicornuta
Johnston, and identified in herbaria as this species
or as M. involucrata. Mentzelia tridentata differs
from Me involucrata in that it does not have white
bracts, and in that respect it is similar to M.
tricuspis. However, the lateral cusps of the stamens
are much shorter than the central cusp in M.
tridentata, while the lateral cusps are longer than
the central cusp in M. oe The seeds of M.
tridentata are more Similar hose of M. involucrata
than they are to M. tricus ay they are roun
and broadest at the middle, constricted on both
faces above and below the middle, while the seeds of
M. tricuspis are ovate, broadest at the top, and
constricted at the middle. The plants of M.
tridentata are usually much smaller in general than
M. tricuspis, less than 1 dm. Mentzelia tridentata
is quite restricted in range to buttes around the
Barstow-Daggett area of San Bernardino County and
the type locality in Inyo County. Flowering period
is March through April. The chromosome number has
been determined for several individuals from one
population and is reported here as n=10.

A REVISED CLASSIFICATION FOR THE ORDERS
AND FAMILIES OF MOSSES
Harold Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560
The present paper is partly in response to many requests
by non-bryologists for a listing of higher categories of mosses,
but also, it seems advantageous to have a listing that can be
used in conjunction with the recent list of orders and families
of hepaticae by Schuster (1966). Thus, I take the opportunity
to provide the following version that incorporates some recent
evolutionary evidence and some personal opinion.
The general history of moss classification is given by
Dixon (1932) and there are some more recent comments by
Schaffner (1938) and Steere (1958). The history shows the early
use of three orders, Sphagnales, Andreaeales and Bryales. Later,
additional orders were recognized by Fleischer, Brotherus and
Dixon and in the last author's work the Bryales were divided
into Tetraphidales, Calomniales, Schistostegales, Buxbauminales,
Polytrichales, Fissidentales, Grimmiales, Dicranales, Syrrhopo-
dontales, Pottiales, Encalyptales, Orthotrichales, Funariales,
Eubryales, Isobryales, Hookeriales, and Hypnobryales. My own
views fall between these extremes and are rather conservative.
Regarding the higher categories, I recognize a single
Division, Bryophyta, which I consider a natural group. Aside
from the lack of vascular tissue, I would distinguish this
natural group by the unbranched sporophyte which I consider to
be derived from branched sporophytes of a non-bryophyte ancestor.
For the basic subdivision between the hepatics and the mosses I
recognize two prime characters, (1) the elongation in the base
of the apically mature sporophyte in the former group versus the
strictly apical growth in the latter, and (2) the tendency for
fusion in gametophyte tissues (perianths, leaves, etc.) in the
former versus strict separation of vegetative parts in the
latter.
At lower levels of classification I accept Sphagnum and its
fossil relatives as distinct at the subclass level. The most
useful distinction of the group seems to be the difference in
the ultimate divisions of the leaf cells. The five orders I
recognize in the subclass Bryidae reflect a reduction in the
comparative status of the Andreaeales which I do not consider
more distinct than the Tetraphidales. These two orders I view
as rather primitive, and the fact that they and Sphagnum all
have thalloid or other non-filamentous aspects to their proto-
nemata seems significant. What has been called Bryales I recog-
289
290 PHITOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 5
nize as four orders. The previous major subdivisions of the
Bryales compare as follows: Nematodonteae becoming two orders,
Tetraphidales and Polytrichales, and Arthrodonteae becoming two
orders, Dicranales (=Haplolepideae) and Bryales (=Diplolepideae).
In this arrangement I would place the Polytrichales mich closer
to the Dicranales and there is no one character that will
distinguish all the genera of these two orders. I find the
peristome of the Polytrichaceae to be completely different in
origin from that of other mosses and probably a more recent
development. The Dawsoniaceae which are in the same order
retain a peristome of a more primitive type.
At the family level I have adopted some changes proposed by
Andrews for the Leucobryaceae (1947) and Rhytidiaceae (1954). I
retain the Leptostomataceae which Andrews (1951) placed in the
Bryaceae. The following arrangement of the families allows for
certain similarities that may or may not indicate relationships.
I have placed the Schistostegaceae with the Mitteniaceae on the
basis of observations of the protonemata of Mittenia by Stone
(1961, 1962). Two personal opinions are represented in my
placement of the Fissidentaceae and the Hookeriaceae. As I
intend to indicate elsewhere, I regard the leaf form of the
Fissidentaceae as the product of a rather simple evolutionary
process, and I place the family close to the Dicranaceae. I
place the Hookeriaceae with other families, many members of
which share such characters as a median furrow on the outer
surface of the peristome, short or double costae, and almost
undifferentiated alar cells. This Hookeroid-Hypnoid complex I
consider quite distinct from either the strongly castate
Leskeoid-Brachythecioid complex or the Pterobryoid—Neckeroid
complex that often shows preperistome development.

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (ASTERACEAE). XXXVI.
A NEW GENUS, NEOBARTLETTIA.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560
Among the Critonioid genera of the Eupatorieae, there are
three that are notable for often having hairs on the surface of
the receptacle. Two of these, Hebeclinium (King & Robinson,
1971) and Decachaeta (King & Robinson, 1969) have been recog-
nized in part since Decandolle (1836), The third genus,
Neobartlettia, occurring primarily in the lowlands of Central
America, is named as new here.
The new genus shows a number of trends which help in the
recognition of most of the species. These include the usually
long slender petioles of the leaves, the usually numerous hairs
on the backs of the corolla lobes, the usually more papillose
style branches, and the usually slender inornate anther collars.
The characters that prove most diagnostic in the accurate
delimitation of the genus are the full sized anther appendages
without recurved margins, the convex or short conical receptacle,
the short broad lobes of the corolla and the distinctive slightly
swollen carpopodium. Though the carpopodia show differences
between the various species, there is a basic uniformity of
design. In its most: frequent form the lower tapering part is
made up of shorter rather thin-walled, sometimes enlarged cells
which are only slightly differentiated from the upper more
elongate cells, and the upper cells form a swollen area around
the base of the achene and upward along the bases of the ribs.
= a few species such as N. ehrenbergii, N. pinabetensis and
- paezense the carpopodium is a narrower rim but with cells
a not differentiated from those at the bases of the ribs.
Neobartlettia proves to include most of the species that
have been placed in the genus Hebeclinium during the second half
of the 19th century. The genera are rather closely related
though they can be told very easily by the shape of the
receptacle. The receptacle of Hebeclinium is distinctly hemi-
spherical.
We have placed another group of related species in a
separate genus, Guayania. This latter genus is distinguished
primarily by its very asymmetric carpopodia and its usually
cymose inflorescences.

THE GENUS HEBECLINIUM
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
The Eupatorian species with hair or chaff on the receptacles
have often been segregated into a separate genus or section,
Hebeclinium. Like many other segregates previously recognized
in the Eupatorieae, this concept of Hebeclinium is somewhat
artificial. Some species such as Polyanthina nemorosa (1970)
and Urolepis hecatantha (1971) have no close relationship. Also,
hairs are found occasionally on receptacles of many species in
such genera as Fleischmannia and Critonia. Still, most species
of Eupatorieae with prominent hairs on the receptacles belong to
a related group of three genera, Decachaeta (1969), Hebeclinium,
and Neobartlettia (1971).
This related group of three genera may be considered
Critonioid in the broad sense having smooth surfaced corolla
lobes and simple style bases. The three genera are rather
distinct, however, in having usually slender anther collars with
mostly inornate cells, and usually having many distinct hairs on
the outer surfaces of the corolla lobes. Decachaeta is distinct
by the short anther appendages with recurved margins, and all
but one species of Decachaeta have alternate leaves. Decachaeta
is entirely Mexican and Central American in distribution.
Neobartlettia is most obviously distinct from Hebeclinium in its
less convex, conical or even flat receptacles. Neobartlettia
occurs primarily in Mexico and Central America with some South
American species.
In seeking a more concise understanding of Hebeclinium and
its relatives, we have taken vertical sections through the
receptacles of a number of species. In almost all the species
of Hebeclinium the very highly convex receptacle is composed
internally almost entirely of sclereids. The massive outer
layer is many cells thick and breaks off rather easily. Only
one species, H. guevarae, has been seen with considerable
parenchyma in the receptacle and the outer layer of sclereids
only one or two cells thick. The receptacles of both Decachaeta
and Neobartlettia characteristically have a large core of
parenchyma.

A NEW GENUS, GUAYANIA.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
The present new genus is established for four species of the
Guayana Highland Region that appear very different from each
other vegetatively, but which show great uniformity in most
other characters. The convex to conical receptacles, corolla
lobes densely hairy outside, anther collars slender with inornate
cells, style branches with distinct short papillae and the style
bases being plain, mark the group as related to Neobartlettia
(King & Robinson, 1971). The four species treated here are
distinguished from Neobartlettia by their very asymmetrical
carpopodia which have their foramens completely to one side. The
species of Guayania have fewer flowers per head than most species
of Neobartlettia, but some of the latter genus such as N.
hastifera (Standl. & Steyerm.) R.M.King & H.Robinson, fall within
the range. A distinguishing character for at least two species
of Guayania is the distinctly cymose inflorescence. The
inflorescence of a third species, G. penninervata, has been
described as a panicle (Wurdack, 1953) and the underdeveloped
specimen we have seen shows only tendencies to be cymose. The
fourth species, G. yaviana, is described as densely corymbose
and we have not seen any material.
The type species, G. roupalifolia, is widely distributed on
the tepuis of the eastern and central Guayana Highlands Region
and has very distinctive elliptical to obovate leaves with blunt-
ly acute apices and tapering bases. This species has been
considered closely related to G. yaviana which is also from
higher elevations in the central highlands. Still, relationship
to G. cerasifolia of lower elevations to the west seems as close.
Guayania penninervata, also of lower elevations, is not known
from enough collections for careful evaluation.
The new genus is the only one in the Eupatorieae that is
endemic to or centered in the Guayana Highlands.

THE GENUS, UROLEPIS.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
The name Urolepis is here raised to generic rank to accomo-
date the single species, U. hecatantha. The most distinctive
feature of the genus is the greatly enlarged pubescent receptacle.
Nearly as distinctive are the stylar appendages with long dense-
ly imbricate papillae. The carpopodium with its enlarged thin-
walled cells and swollen upper part is also useful as a character,
along with the enlarged blunt tipped apical cells of the pappus
setae. The combination of characters given is more than adequ-
ate to set this genus apart from others.
The genus, Urolepis, is not easily placed among others in
the Eupatorieae. The glabrous unenlarged style base and smooth
corolla lobes might be Critonioid but the style branches and
highly annulated anther collars would be unusual for that group.
The species has been placed in Hebeclinium which is a Critonioid
genus, but the latter has a smaller receptacle, cells of the
anther collars without annular thickenings, corolla lobes with
hairs on the back, style branches smooth, and pappus setae comp-
letely different. The style branches of Urolepis are like those
of Ayapana and the numerous flowers on a hairy receptacle are
reminiscent of the Ayapana related Polyanthina. Nevertheless,
these Camploclinioid genera have enlarged style bases and very
distinct carpopodia and do not seem closely related. The closest
relatives of Urolepis are undoubtedly among the as yet unassigned
species of southern Brazil and adjacent areas. A species placed
in section Urolepis by Baker, Eupatorium trichobasis has a prom-
inent pubescent receptacle, annulated anther collars, and the
same type of enlarged blunt apical cells on the pappus setae.
The achene is also rather similar but the carpopodium much less
distinct. This latter species is very different, however, in the
papillose inner surfaces and margins of the corolla lobes and
the shorter more erect papillae of the style branches, and the
relationships seem distinctly Gyptoid. It hardly seems necessary
to indicate that the genus Eupatorium is only remotely related
being distinguished by hairs on the base of the style among other
things. It is only the crudest kind of taxonomy that Urolepis
has resided under the name Eupatorium for so long.

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (ASTERACEAE). XLI.
THE GENUS, EUPATORIASTRUM.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
A critical review of Eupatoriastrum reveals a natural group
of three species characterized by large many flowered heads with
interspersed paleae, by somewhat shortened anther appendages,
and by broadly triangular to nearly orbicular leaves which are
larger and sometimes deeply cleft nearer the base of the plant.
The diversity between the three species in size, form of leaves,
corolla pubescence, anther appendages, and details of the pappus
and carpopodium indicates thoroughly distinct lines of develop-
ment. Corolla structure and the short sometimes grooved anther
appendages suggest closest relationship to the large genus Koan-
ophyton.
Eupatoriastrum Greenm., Proc. Amer. Acad. 39: 93. 1903.
Shrubs or subshrubs, few branched. Leaves opposite, petio-
led, blades deltoid or ovate, basal leaves sometimes deeply
lobed, margins serrate. Inflorescence a very loose panicle.
Involucre of ca. 50 phyllaries in 3-5 series; receptacle highly;
100-300 flowers per head, 100-300 pales per head. Corollas tub-
ular, 5-lobed, outer surface of corolla glabrous below, lobes
about as long as wide with short stalked glands, with or without
setae, tips slightly papillose; stomates absent; inner surface
of corolla tube glabrous. Anther collar slender composed mostly
of rectangular cells with numerous transverse thickenings; anther
appendages short, composed of rather large cells. Style base
without enlarged node, glabrous; stylar appendage somewhat en-
larged especially near the tip, mammillose. Achenes prismatic,
4-5 ribbed with numerous setae, carpopodia distinct, of quadrate
cells with thin or slightly thickened walls. Pappus of 15-35
scabrous setae, apical cells acute.
Type species: Eupatoriastrum nelsonii Greenm.
Chromosome number not determined.

RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GENUS ALDAMA
(COMPOS ITAE-HELIANTHEAE)
Charles Feddema
Forest Service Herbarium
ALDAMA and A. dentata were described as new by La Llave
and Lexarza (1824) from plants collected near Cérdoba in
Veracruz, Mexico. Lessing (1830, 1834) assigned a Schiede
collection from near Jalapa (225) to Aldama dentata and in
the earlier paper included a description of the genus and
species and drawings of floral and inflorescence details.
He described A. dentata as erect while noting that La Llave
had described it as procumbent. DeCandolle (1836) trans-
ferred A. dentata to his new Gymnopsis, a broadly conceived
genus in which he included species now assigned to various
other genera. DeCandolle also described as new, G.
schiedeana, referring to the Schiede collection. He de-
scribed G, dentata as erect and having a conical receptacle
but G. schiedeana as procumbent and having a convex recep-
tacle. Bentham and Hooker (1860) accepted both of these
species but considered them best assigned to Sclerocarpus,
and Hemsley (1881) made the new combinations. Since that
time Aldama has been included in Sclerocarpus by most
authors although application of the binomials has varied
widely.
The two genera, Sclerocarpus, as typified by S. africanus,
and Aldama, as typified by A. dentata, are superficially
similar. Both have neutral ray flowers with yellow ligules
and perfect tubular disk flowers. In both genera the re-
ceptacular bract completely surrounds the mature marginal
disk achene and becomes somewhat thickened and sculptured.
The bract in Aldama, however, remains relatively thin and
pithy and is easily removed from about the achene while the
bract in Sclerocarpus becomes thick and hard and difficult
to remove. There are a number of other significant differ-
ences between Aldama and Sclerocarpus suggesting strongly
that they be considered distinct. These are indicated in
the following table.

310 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 5
Study of a duplicate of Schiede 225 indicates that it is
assignable to Aldama dentata. La Llave's description of A.
dentata as procumbent may be explained by the condition of
plants which may survive well beyond the normal growing sea-
son. A. dentata was described as flowering in March. At
this time of the year in Cérdoba, where the type was col-
lected, plants of the previous year may occasionally be
found with the apex having died back or having been grazed
and with only one or a few procumbent basal branches remain-
ing. These sometimes root at basal nodes leaving little ev-
idence of the original stem and roots. DeCandolle's de-
scription of the receptacle of Gymnopsis (Aldama) dentata as
conical and that of G. schiedeana as convex is probably due
to the different appearance of the receptacle when young and
after maturity. While the flowers are maturing, the recep-
tacle is convex. After the achenes and receptacular bracts
are shed, the drying receptacle constricts marginally, forc-
ing the center of the disk higher. Plants from northern
South America, usually identified as Sclerocarpus coffeacola
Klatt are also assignable to Aldama dentata although speci-
mens from this region tend to be smaller and have smaller
heads than those from Mexico and Central America. All the
specimens of Aldama examined can be assigned to the single
species, Aldama dentata.

SOME ALEURITES TAXA IN HAWAII
AND
A NOTE REGARDING ARGEMONE
Otto & Isa Degener
Due to Dr. B.C. Stone's wanderlust and resulting peregrina-
tions from the University of Hawaii to the Smithsonian, then
to the College of Guam, and now to the University of Malaya at
Kuala Lumpur, our plans, agreeable to us three by letter to
jointly describe a "mango-leaved" taxon of Aleurites, went a-
wry. In fact, even the small specimen we had mailed him on
loan as type and cotypes is presumably stored in some forgot-
ten herbarium cabinet in one of the above institutions and
presently beyond reach.
Now we two find the new taxon named in Pacific Science as a
nom. nud. As agreed by past correspondence (much pertaining to
Plants hi has been deposited in the Hunt Botanical Library in
Pittsburgh), we three validly name this novelty as follows:
ALEURITES MOLUCCANA var. KATOI Degeners & Stone. A var. moluc-
cana folia lanceolata differt.
KATO KUKUI, MANGO-LEAVED KUKUI
Aleurites moluccana var. katoi Degeners & Stone nom. nud., ex
Stone in Pac. Sci. 21:553. 1967.
The variety katoi differs mainly from the var. moluccana in
bearing lanceolate leaves occasionally widened by two obscure
lobes near base of blade.
As stated on page 553, the taxon "is named for Mr. Tadayuki
Kato of Kauai High School, who has been very helpful to me and
to other visiting botanists. The holotype specimen, taken from
the tree on the grounds of Kauai High School in Lihue, is at
the Bishop Museum (Stone 3427, collected on 15 April 1960)."
That "A further specimen collected by Dr. Degener is also a-
vailable" is not strictly correct. Otto & Isa Degener 23,956
was collected by Mr. Hans W. Hansen from a cultivated tree on
Kauai on Sept. 24, 1955. Whether Degeners 23,956 of 1955 and
Stone (collected with Kato according to herbariun sheet label)
3,427 of 1960 are from the same tree, we do not know. Accord-
ing to Mr. Hansen, his plant was a cultivated one and was said
to be native to Samoa.
In Hawaiian and most other Polynesian dialects, typical
Aleurites moluccana is known as "kukui" or some variant of
this spelling. In English it is often called the "candlenut
tree," referring to its former use as a source of light. The
315
316 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 5
Kato kukui, with its unusual "mango leaves," is conspicuous
and attractive. So by this time it may be seen cultivated here
and there about residences and in parks.
AIEURITES MOLUCCANA var. REMYI (Sherff) Stone, the Remy kukui,
is a reduction made in the same publication by Stone of A. r
Sherff in Field Mus. Bot. Ser. 17:558. 1939. We early followed
Dr. Sherff, printing an illustrated description of this taxon
in our Flora Hawaiiensis. After studying a large series of
sheets of Aleurites recently, we noted that both the remyi and
the katoi tendencies occur in various islands of the South Pa-
cific. We now tend to the belief that Stone's interpretation
may be the superior one.
The first paragraph of Stone's page 552 is obviously gar-
bled: The "mango-leaved" kukui (var. katoi) with practically
no lobes is obviously not the same as the "Kona" kukui (var.
remyi) with very narrow lobes.
ALEURITES MOLUCCANA var. AULANII Deg. & Deg. var. nov. Arbor
semenibus circa 23 mm. latis.
AULANI KUKUI, SMALL-SEEDED KUKUI
This hitherto undescribed variety has seeds about 23 mm.
wide, 15 mm. thick and 20 mm. high; while the ubiquitous var.
moluccana has them commonly 30 mm. wide, 23 mm. thick and 30
mm. high. The type is Deg. & Deg. 32,481. Collected in Kukui-
haele, Hawaii, by Stanley and Aulani Loo, March 28, 1971, and
deposited in NY.
The botanical recognition of this taxon was fortuitous.
Forced by a broken tooth into Dr. Robert N. Ogawa's dental
chair in Hilo, Hawaii, the kane patient learned that Mrs.
Ogawa was an amateur botanist, the daughter a professional
botanist with the University of Michigan, and Dr. Ogawa him- ©
self an ardent maker of seed lei or necklaces as a hobby. In
the case of the kukui "nut," turned ebony black by burial in
a taro patch, Dr. Ogawa explained his perfected method of pre-
paring the seeds. The conversation then changed to the preva-
lent rumor of a small-seeded kukui growing in isolated Waipio
Valley, District of Kohala. Apparently only one tree remains
in this once heavily populated valley, badly mauled by careless
collectors of its prized seeds. The dentist was a bit evasive.
Returning for further treatment days later, the patient was
surprised and delighted to receive from Dr. & Mrs. Ogawa a
truly regal lei for Mrs. Degener consisting of 25 matched,
dwarf kukui seeds originally collected in Waipio Valley and
neighboring Kukuihaele. "Kukuihaele," contrary to our hope,
does not refer to this rare kukui variety. The complex word
1971 Degener & Degener, Same Aleurites taxa 317
means "moving kukui tree," probably in allusion to the action
on the trees of the strong trade winds funneled between the
heights of Mauna Kea and Kohala.
As one surprise deserves another, the writers named this
new taxon provisionally var. ogawae, mailing a copy of the
manuscript to Mrs. Ogawa with the plea she furnish good flower-
ing and fruiting material from a chosen tree as type and co-
type specimens.
malyccana
After B.C. Stone
The third surprise was an answering ‘phone call from Mrs. 0-
gawa: The couple had not collected the material at all. The col-
lector had been Mr. Stanley *Kolomona Loo, a resident of Hono-
kaa of Chinese-Hawaiian ancestry, and his son Aulani. The family
knows of two trees growing on such precipitous terrain that
the father must help his son Aulani to and from the trees with
aid of a rope. As these trees are such a rarity and might be
injured by vandals or careless visitors, we feel it wise not to
divulge their location. Because of Mrs. Ogawa's insistance and
Mr. Loo's knowledge and advice, we here name the plant in his
son's honor Aleurites moluccana var. aulanii. The name "Au-
lani" is particularly appropriate for the kukui or candlenut
as it means "Light of Heaven" in Hawaiian.
The unspoiled native Hawaiian forests (some have escaped
lumbering, or bulldozing for other commercial interests) teem
*As the Hawaiian alphabet lacks the letter "S", "K" is substi-
tuted for it.
318 PHY T.8 £°O°G, D* Vol. 21, no. 5
with endemic birds and endemic insects, all nicely adjusted
to one another over eons of time. On the contrary, as we have
mentioned elsewhere, our kukui forests are conspicuously si-
lent except for the occasional thud of a heavy kukui fruit
striking the ground; nor are they teeming with insects. Fur-
theremore, thus far no one has unearthed kukui pollen among
other fossil pollens in old, undisturbed layers of earth.
These observations and the fact that the kukui is so valuable
to the Polynesians for light, food, medicine, native jewelry,
tapa dye, gum and for tanning fishnets moves us to the belief
that the tree is of aboriginal introduction from the South.
Birds and insects, during the couple thousand years of its
possible introduction, simply have not yet had time to be—-
come adjusted to the plant or to evolve with the plant as
they have done to the unquestionable endemic ones in the Ha-
waiian flora.
Whether the rumor is true regarding the arrival at least
of one tree of variety katoi coming from Tahiti or Samoa pre-
sumably since the landing of Captain Cook in 1778, we are al-
most certain that varieties remyi and ualanii were here be-
fore that date. Did such taxa develop de novo in the Hawaiian
Islands, or are they relics of taxa the Polynesians had
brought with them from the South? If the latter is true, a
careful comparison in museums of taxa in the Hawaiian Archi-
pelago with those in the South Seas should add evidence as
to the migrations and island stop-—overs made before these
vikings of the sunrise settled in Hawaii Nei to intermarry,
multiply and become amalgamated into a distinct race recog-
nizable by their distinctive features as the true kamaaina.
Should the pricklepoppy once so common on Oahu be Ar-
gemone glauca L., A. glauca Pope, A. glauca (Prain) Degener
or A. glauca (Prain) Deg. & Deg.? Regarding Dr. Stone's as-
sumptions about the Argemone binomial, appearing in the same
article on page 550, the kane writer had the simple explana-
tion had he been asked for it. He enrolled at the University
of Hawaii for the 1922-23 school year, frequently taking the
Honolulu trolley to the end of the Kaimuki line. There he
botanized in the red 'dobe soil and dust, collecting such
xerophytes as Waltheria, Sida, Lipochaeta, Jacquemontia and
Argemone, plants now replaced by houses and watered lawns
with bordering cultigens. A New Yorker, he returned to his
home, enrolling for an advanced degree at Columbia University,
though spending most of his time critically identifying his
Hawaiian collections at the affiliate, the New York Botanical
Garden. There he identified the Argemone, judging its correct
name to be Argemone glauca (Prain) Degener and thus noting it
in his manuscript for a "Flora Hawaiiensis" he hoped eventual-
ly to publish. In fact, he printed the name "Argemone glauca"
in 1930 in his "Plants Hawaii National Park."

While he was at his home on Vancouver Highway, later re-
named University Avenue, Honolulu, Dr. Willis Pope, first
President of the College of Hawaii in fact but not in name
and later prominent horticulturist of the government experi-
ment station in Makiki Valley, came to visit him with the
bulky manuscript of his "Manual Wayside Plants Hawaii." He
left it with the writer, who spent the better part of a week
sometimes with Dr. Pope but mostly alone, revising it. One
of the first deletions he recommended which, however, was not
followed, were marine algae! Among one of the many corrections
he made was changing Pope's name of Argemone mexicana to A.
glauca (Prain) Degener. Whether Dr. Pope or more likely some
later reviser of the same manuscript altered the authority to
"Argemone glauca L.", wissen nur die GStter. As the Degeners
have been in frequent correspondence for decades with Dr.
Stone mainly concerning the genus Pelea, a simple inquiry
about Argemone would have saved the e making of unnecessary ass-
umptions.

PRITCHARDIA AND COCOS IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Otto & Isa Degener
When the Hawaiian Islands were rediscovered by Captain
James Pace Cook in 1778, only two genera of palms grew in
the archipelago. The one was Pritchardia, consisting of
many taxa of fan-leaved or palmate palms; the other, Cocos,
consisting of a single species of feather-leaved or plumose
palm. Odoardo Beccari and Joseph F. Rock in 1921 published
their beautifully illustrated work entitled *A Monographic
Study of the Genus Pritchardia, 1-77. It is the last, au-
thoritative work on the group. Though we know it conceals er-
rors, we do not yet know enough to correct them. The species
are native mostly to Micronesia and Polynesia, attaining
their major development in the Hawaiian Archipelago. They
grow from sea level to about 5,000 feet elevation; from de-
sert to dense rainforest. According to Beccari & Rock's
findings, there are about 25 species and five varieties ex-
tending from the Island of Hawaii westward to distant Nihoa.
Since 1921 additional taxa have been described, some of
questionable validity.
Beccari & Rock describe as new, single individual palm
trees growing in hot, lowland gardens, and not known any-
where in the wild. Could not such individual palms be the
offspring of seeds collected in the rainy mountains of our
islands? Do they merely look new because they are growing
under greatly changed conditions? We do not presently know,
One of our local botanists, Dr. Harold St. John, collected
specimens from a single palm in the mountains near Punaluu,
Oahu and, using the monograph, keyed it to a certain species.
At a different season he visited the identical palm, collect~
ed additional material and, using the same key, came to an en=-
tirely different species! Obviously, something is wrong some-
where.
While botanizing for five months in 1928 on Molokai, the
kane writer searched for Pritchardia, known to Hawaiians as
loulu, and noted some growing cultivated near the coast in
the garden of an elderly Hawaiian known to him as Levi. From
his part-Hawaiian assistant, in whom Levi had confided, he
learned that Rock had heard about loulu palms growing in
some Molokai fastness. He offered Levi pay to fetch him speci-
mens. As Rock refused the price Levi wanted, Levi resolved to
have his cake and eat it too. So he agreed to Rock's more mod=
est offer but, instead of climbing the mountain range to get
specimens of the elusive palm, he merely substituted material
from one of the trees in his yard. Levi thought it a great

joke, and chuckled while telling the writer's assistant about
the deception. Evidently some Molokai taxon is listed erro-
neously in the monograph as to habitat.
We see no way of greatly revising Beccari & Rock's work, ex»
cellent for the time and conditions under which it was produc-
ed, without concentrating on collecting herbarium specimens
from all colonies still extant, a task easily facilitated by
airplane spotting of these conspicuous trees. Seeds from each
colony, preferably from the same palm from which voucher mater-
ial had been preserved, should then be planted under uniform
conditions with similarly procured seeds from other colonies.
Such cultivated plants mst then be compared with one another
when they finally flower and fruit, as well as against the
vouchers collected from the parent plants many years before.
The difficulty of such a project is the gathering of material
so often growing in almost inaccessible jungles and on cliffs,
the acreage needed for the tests, the length of time before a
seedling finally matures to produce diagnostic characters of
flower and fruit, and the pathetic fact that so many of such
distinctive colonies already have succumbed to the bulldozing
"progress" of so-called civilized man. The investigator still
will not be sure if the old, historical specimens collected by
Rock and others had not come from such colonies that are now
extinct. Even though the task of getting order out of chaos
seems hopeless, Foster Botanical Garden under Director Paul
R. Weissich has made a good beginning.
If the above preamble is correct, it is obvious that many
kinds of loulu are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, even
though no one yet knows how many species and varieties exist-
ed here in 1778. It is also plain that this genus must have
been in the Hawaiian Islands for eons — certainly before the
arrival of the Polynesians - to enable it to speciate to such
an extent.
The fossil record certainly proves the antiquity of the lo-
ulu. Until recent bulldozing on Oahu destroyed them, erect
molds of the trunks were observable on the north side of the
road leading mauka to the U.S. Army Tripler General Hospital.
Such palms were thriving until the lower parts of their smooth
trunks were buried by the rain of ash that fell during the ex-
plosions that formed Salt Lake Crater.
On the Island of Hawaii at Kailiili, near Wahaula within
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a few impressions of pros-
trate trunks can be seen on a prehistoric though not very
old pahoehoe lava flow. Beyond the southwestern boundary of
the National Park, between the main road and the ocean, at
*Kawaa, lies an expanse of prehistoric, smooth pahoehoe.

Armed with camera, broom, whiskbroom and trowel, the writers
and Mr. & Mrs. Theodore L. Picco fanned over the area. Here
the pahoehoe had gently flowed through a palm grove, the wet
trunks burning slowly through the base so that the trees
fell helter skelter upon the cooling lava. Several score im-
pressions were carefully examined, all showing the relative-
ly smooth, unbranched outline of a side of the palm trunk
(Fig. a). Many also showed rectangular checks formed as the
lava oozed into the charring wood (Figures b, c). One im-
pression even showed the base of a fan-like blade (Fig. d),

resembling that of a modern Pritchardia (Fig. e) now growing
at nearby Punaluu. Not a single trunk impression exhibited
leaf scars. No palm fruits nor seeds were observed.

"According to tradition, at least the large-fruited type
of coconut known as niupolapola was brought to the Hawaiian
Islands by the early Polynesian immigrants from Bolabola, an
island not far from Tahiti. Before Captain Cook's coming the
Hawaiians knew also a few other kinds, such as the niuhiwa
with dark-colored fruit and the niulelo with yellowish
fruit."* The fruit was both food and drink for the Polynesi-
an voyagers, and certainly the most necessary and efficient
supply of a potable liquid in transportable form for a long
ocean voyage. We surmise some coconuts escaped being consum
ed, and were planted in the newly discovered islands.
Between Kawaa Bay and the boundary of the National Park
is the coastal village of Pumaluu. Just back of the black

former, a fan palm, bears erect, slender trunks hardly
thickened at base and without prominent leaf scars. The lat-
ter, a feather palm, bears a curving trunk thickened at base
and somewhat constricted at the prominent leaf scars. The
contrast is well shown in figures f and g. with these dif-
ferences in mind, the reader should compare the photographs
of the living trees with those of the fossils.
Figures f and g showing two coconut palm trunks with
prominent leaf scars and several Pritchardia trunks

In conclusion, the writers are convinced that the loulu
reached the Hawaiian Islands some eons ago, and may have
even more or less encircled many stretches of the Islands
with extensive groves, particularly before the Polynesians
brought the pig and, perhaps as stowaway, the seed-eating
Polynesian rat. The fossil impressions at Kailiili and above
all at Kawea are irrefutable proof of this fact. These beau-
tiful palms may well have extended along the shore of Hawa-
ii Volcanoes National Park, and hence deserve replacement.
Regarding the coconut, however, we consider it a newcomer
to the Hawaiian Islands wntil irrefutable evidence to the
contrary appears. Tradition bolsters this belief as well as
the fact that no fossil imprints of a coconut palm have ever
1971 Degener & Degener, Pritchardia and Cocos 325
been seen, not even at Kawaa Bay where conditions were ideal
for its growth and fossilization,
Many have been confounded by the loulu growing in such iso-
lated localities. It is of course possible that those trees
perched on cliffs reached there as fruits falling or washing
down from the plateau forest above. Or a grove may have ex-
isted for ages on a plateau before this was slowly eroded into
gulches and finally into cliff-flanked canyons. The grove of
palms simply continued to grow in the same spot from genera-
tion to generation, first on gulch sides and finally on the
resultant cliffs. All this is possible, but is it probable?
On the Island of Hawaii lives the native crow alala (Corvus
tropicus Gmelin). To be sure all crows are black; but this
one, as the kane writer observed in 1927 in the Kona jungle,
is unique in keeping its bill agape to exhibit to its mate
the beautiful akala-berry-red surface within. Evidently the
ancestors of such a species, now so distinctive, mst have
come to the Archipelago eons ago. Today the species is on
the verge of extinction, perhaps less than a dozen individ-
uals persisting on the Island of Hawaii. In 1891, however,
when the ornithologist George C. Munro surveyed this island
for birds "the alala was numerous. They were in flocks - -,"
Perhaps crows andor other large, seed eating birds were nu-
merous also on some of the remaining islands and aided in
the early distribution of the loulu. If "civilized" man could
just about exterminate the crow on the Island of Hawaii from
flocks to perhaps less than a dozen individuals in eighty
years, what could not the natives have accomplished during
the past few thousand? We know "The Hawaiians snared the crow
and used the black feathers for kahilis and for dressing
idols,"
There is hope for the preservation of the Pritchardia
molds because these and the archaeological features of the
general area can be of value to the lucrative tourist in-
dustry. Besides having these easily accessible and clear,
prostrate tree molds, the Kawaa region is flanked to the
northeast by the ruins of the massive Keeku heiau or temple.
This must have catered to a large neighboring population
attracted by the beach and the nearby freshwater springs.
Unfortunately the many house sites have been washed flat by
the tsunami of 1868; but iliili, or smooth water-worn peb=
bles from the beach and from the flooring of the huts, are
scattered everywhere. One even finds evidence of ancient
pleasures and industry. Here and there, pecked into flat,
smooth lava are the depressions of the papamu, or checker-
board (Fig. h), upon which the Hawaiians played konane
with white coral pebbles against black lava ones; and a-
long the rocky coast are cup-like depressions ("baitcups")
in which the natives pounded their chumming material used

for luring fish. A few stone "salt pans" in which seawater
was evaporated to gain salt for barter with upland residents
are also there. Such an area rich in Hawaiiana and fossils
may well escape destruction,
We are grateful to Mr. & Mrs. Picco for helping us sweep
and for taking the photographs.

name for members of this genus. Burkill (1966) tells us that
Callicarpa is "A gems of shrubs and trees....found in the warmer
parts of Asia, to Australia and the Pacific, and again in America.
The plants are sub-aromatic, and often bitter in taste. Through-
out the East they are used medicinally: some internally, others
for poulticing. Several species of America are active diuretics
and purgatives. The wood is of little use. The Malayan species
are much of one type, and 'tampang besi' is the name applied to
the first three mentioned below [C. candicans, C. longifolia, C.
maingayi], and to C. angustifolia, King and Gamble. Whether C.
tomentosa differs sufficiently in medicinal uses that it should
bear a distinguishing name, is not clearly demonstrated yet. The
common noun 'tampang', to which attention has just been called,
indicates that the plants are used for making plasters. 'Tampal'
is a variant of it, and other variants may be recognized.....As
far to the eastward, also, as the Philippine Islands, species of
Callicarpa obtain such names; and there can be no doubt that con-
siderable reliance has been put on them as simples, from end to
end of Malasia. Three species are used as fish-poisons in the
Philippine Islands......The active substance is a saponin. It is
interesting that the twigs of two of them, dried until the leaves
have fallen, should be used as a bait for prawns. C. reevesii,
Wall., of Southern China, and several others are in cultivation
in the Botanic Gardens, Singapore; for they are ornamental plants!

boiled and the decoction is drunk for abdominal troubles....In
Java a decoction is used for bringing on the menses, and the
leaves are used for poulticing wounds and boils....Under the name
‘puchuk ring-ring', the shoots of the plant have been recorded as
entering into arrow—poisons.....1t is one of the species....used
in the Philippine Islands for stupifying fish; yet, after drying,
it is also a bait for prams."

Vidal & Lemoine (1970) record the common name "ntoo peeb lab
soob" for this plant, cite Lemoine 2), & 106 from Laos, and com
ment that it is an "Arbre de for8t claire ou de for8t secondaire
& fruits charnus violets, non comestibles. Les feuilles sont
appliquées sur les blessures".
Burkill (1966) lists the following vernacular names for this
plant: "tampang bési" ("tulang bési" is an error for this),
"tampang bési puteh" (=white-fruited tampang béesi), "tampong
besi", "tampoh bési", "tampah bési", "tampal bési", "tapah bési",
"sulap", "karat bési", "chapal", "chapul kéchil", "nasi-nasi";
in Java "méniran utan", "méniran sapi", "gambiran", "songka",
"songka kampong"; in Sufidanese "katumpang"; in Sumatra "sétampo",
"bebStih kinana"; in Bangka "nasi-nasi"; in Thailand "khow tok".
He notes, further, that the plant is "A shrub found throughout
Malaysia and to Australia; in the Peninsula it is camon. It is
one of the chief plants used for poulticing by the Malays, and
is also administered internally. For colic a decoction of the
leaves is drunk.....This use extends to Java and through to the
Moluccas. A similar decoction is given after childbirth, and for
fever. For syphilis an infusion of the root is used.....and
Rumpf says a decoction of the roots is useful for diarrhoea. The
"Medical Book of Malayan Medicine'.....seems to put this into the
first place as a means of treating sprue, prescribing, as a
draught, an infusion of the root, a gargle prepared by infusion
of the leaves, and a mouth-wash prepared by infusing the bark. A
decoction of the root of some species of Callicarpa, such as this,
is prescribed,,,...for distension of the stomach, the treatment
comprising bathing the body by a decoction of the leaves. The
leaves are used by the Malays for poulticing in fever, and for
rubbing over the body and are applied to swellings. A lotion con-
taining the juice of the root is used for nasal caries....The
leaves are said to stupefy fish.....The wood burns steadily and
thoroughly, whence the common Javanese name; it will not make
charcoal. Jansonnius has described the minute structure...."
Dop (1932) states that C. longifolia is similar to C. petelotii
Dop in the form of its leaves and the dimensions and disposition
of the cymes and that the latter may possibly represent a natural
hybrid between C. longifolia and C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch and/
or C. brevipes (Benth.) Hance.

Vahl, to Walpers, and to Zippelius is C. pedunculata R. Br., and
that credited to Linnaeus, to "Linnaeus sensu Gamble", to Wallich,
and to Roxburgh belongs in the synonymy of C. tomentosa (L.) Murr.
Burkill (1966) refers to C. maingayi as follows: "A tree, con-
fined to the Malay Peninsula, in Pahang, Selangor, and Malacca.
Alvins says that the wood can be used for making fiddles, adding
that there are two kinds of it, one with red and one with white
bark. ‘he bark on the younger branches is rusty red. Alvins says
that the bark is used as a substitute for betel." He lists the
common names "tampang bési", "méndapor", "tutok puteh" ["tulo" and
"tutor" are errors for this], "chulak", "balek angin laut" [in
reference to the white color of the lower leaf-surface].

The original description (1846) of this variety is "foliis lan-
ceolatis vel ovatc-lanceolatis acuminatis basi rotundatis dense
et aequaliter serrulatis pollicaribus vel bipollicaribus. Die
Behaarung und allgemeine Form der Blatter stimmt mit der mollis
tiberein, nur sind dieselben viel kleiner und am Rande mit Aus-
nahme der Basis und Spitze gleichmassig feinsagezahnig. Die
Blithen sind an unseren Exemplaren nicht vollstandig entwickelt."
Nakai (1923) describes it as "Frutex 1—1.5 metralis ramosissimus.
Folia 1—-3 cm. longa. Nom. Jap. Kobano-yabumurasaki. Hab. in
insula Hokitsut6. Distrib. Kiusiu." Masamune (1929, 1955) re-
cords it from Honshu and Kyushu, Japan, as well as from Yakushima
in the Ryukiu Islands, and records the vernacular name
"bagabayabu-murasaki",
According to Hara (198) the "C. mollis var. microphylla Sieb.
& Zucc." of Nakai (1922, 1923) is really C. mollis var. ramosis-=-
sima Nakai. LAGAN | in a
It should be noted that Siebold & Zuccarini's reprint publica-
tion (186) is often cited as "Fl. Jap. Fam. Nat. 2: 156" and
Masamune's 193) publication as "Masam. FY. 387". Miquel (1870)
cites Siebold 3 [specimens?], Keiske 1 [specimen?], and Mohnike
1 [specimen?].
In some of my previous publications I did not accept the
validity of this variety and reduced it to synonymy under typical
C. mollis Sieb. & Zucc. However, recent Japanese workers, with
field experience, regard it as a valid taxon and so I bow to
their judgement. As yet I have seen no herbarium material of it.

According to Hara (1948) this taxon was erroneously reported
as C. mollis var. microphylla Sieb. & Zucc. by Nakai in 1922 and
1923. He cites an illustration ["f. 283 (1938)"], but unfor-
tunately gives the name of the publication and its author only in
Japanese characters.
Masamune (1955) records var. ramosissima from Honshu, Kyushu,
and Sikoku, Japan, as well as from Yakushima in the Ryukiu Is-
lands, and gives the vernacular name "kobano~yabumurasaki".
As yet I have seen no herbarium material of this taxon.

Merrill (1926) describes this plant as follows: "A shrub a-
bout 2 m high, the branches terete, older ones glabrous, the
branchlets slender, densely and minutely stellate-furfuraceous
or stellate-sublepidote, the indumentum brown or pale. Leaves
opposite, membranaceous or subchartaceous, oblong to broadly
oblong-lanceolate, 6 to 15 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, slenderly
and sharply almost caudate-acuminate, base acute or decurrent-
acuminate, margins crenate or crenate-dentate, the upper surface
dark brown to black and shining when dry, entirely glabrous or
with scattered stellate hairs when immature, the lower surface
paler than the upper, mimtely and rather densely pitted and
with mmerous shining glands, the indumentum of short, pale,
stellate, scattered hairs, for the most part confined to the mid-
rib and lateral nerves; lateral nerves about 7 on each side of
the midrib, slender, curved-ascending, distinct; petioles 1 to 3
cm long, minutely and rather densely stellate-pubescent. Cymes
axillary, mostly densely flowered, about as long as the peti-
oles, the peduncles, branches, and calyces densely and minutely
stellate—pubescent with pale or brownish hairs, the pedicels a-
bout 1.5 mm long, the bracteoles linear, 0.5 mm long. Calyx
truncate, about 2 mm long, 1.5 mm in diameter, narrowed below to
the cuneate base. Corolla tube 2 m long, glabrous, the lobes
4, oblong-elliptic, rounded, glabrous or very slightly pubescent
above, about 1.5 mm long. Filaments glabrous, | to 4.5 m long;
anthers oblong, 1.3 mm long. Style exserted, glabrous, 7 m
long. Fruit globose, glabrous, black when dry, about 2 m in
3h0 PRY £0 Ly OoGre Vol. 21, no. 5
diameter."
The type of the species was collected by Maximo Ramos and Gre-
gorio E. Bdafio (Philip. Bur. Sci. 4297] in secondary forests at
low altitudes on Tawitawi, Sulu Archipelago, Philippine Islands,
in August, 192), and was deposited in the herbarium of the Philip-
pine Bureau of Science at Manila, now unfortunately destroyed.
Merrill cites also Philip. Bur. Sci. 4198, gathered by the same
collector at the type locality in July of 192). He comments that
this is "A species rather well characterized within the genus by
its very short indumentum, which is dense on the branchlets and
inflorescences, and wanting or very sparse on the vegetative
parts. The leaves are characteristically black or dark colored
on the upper surface when dry, as in Callicarpa cana Linn. and C.
bicolor Juss., and the species is apparently allied to these in
spite of the difference in indumentum. According to Bakhuizen's
arrangement of the species, it would apparently fall near or with
Callicarpa japonica Thunb. and C. longifolia Lam., to neither of
which can it be properly referred. I doubt very much if any of
the Philippine or Malaysian material is properly referable to
Thunberg's species."
Recent collectors describe this plant as 2 m. tall, the stems
3 cm. in diameter, the corollas bluish-pink, stamens yellow, and
fruit green (in August), growing in secondary forests at low al-
titudes,.
In all, 7 herbarium specimens, including material of the type
collection, have been examined by me.

As has been pointed out by me in 1932, the Asiatic plant for
so long a time known as C. acuminata Roxb. must take on another
name. While this binomial was actually first proposed by Roxburgh
in 181), it was not accompanied by any description. It ws,
therefore, a mere hyponym, and is not considered to have been va-
lidly published at that time. A full description, validating the
name, was not published by him until 1820. In the meantime, Hum-
boldt, Bonpland, & Kunth published their C, acuminata in quite va-
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 33
lid form for a Mexican, Central and South American species in
1817 with a full description. The Asiatic and American plants are
similar in appearance, but are not conspecific. The American
plant, therefore, must retain the name C. acuminata H.B.K. and
the Asiatic plant mst take on a new name.
The second oldest name for the Asiatic plant is C. reevesii
Wall., proposed in 1829, but also as a hyponym. It was not valid-
ly published until by Walpers in 1845. In 1836, however, Hooker
& Arnott published C. nudiflora, accompanied by a good descrip-
tion and illustration. It seems obvious, therefore, that the
Asiatic plant first known as C. acuminata Roxb., then as C.
reevesii Wall., must now be known as C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn. It
has been collected rather extensively in southern China, Canton,
Kwangtung, Hainan Island, Macao, and Lappas Island, and occurs
also in Silhet, Tenasserim, and Singapore.
Roxburgh's original (1820) description of his C. acuminata is
"Shrubby, tender parts hoary with a stellate pubescence. Leaves
broad-lanceolar, acuminate, remotely repand, denticulate. Panicles
axillary, long peduncled, dichotomous, shorter than the leaves.
A native of Silhet, flowers in May. In this species the panicles
are elevated on longer peduncles than in the other species [of
India], the leaves and young parts very hairy, except the upper
surface of the former when fully expanded, which is then naked
and reticulate; from four to five inches long by nearly two broad.’
King & Gamble (1908) amplified this description as follows: "A
shrub, the branches, petioles, the under surface of leaves, and
inflorescence covered with a soft, whitish-grey or pale tawny,
mealy tomentum of branched or stellate hairs. Leaves coriaceous;
lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, long acute at apex, attenuate
at base and often slightly unequal, not decurrent; upper surface
dark when dry, glabrous except the nerves, lower tomentose; mar-
gins entire for the lower third, above that shortly dentate ser-
rate; 5 to 8 in. long, 2 to 3 in. broad; midrib stout; main nerves
13 to 15 pairs, nearly regular, starting at an angle of 5° to 60°
with the midrib and curving gently to the margin, each pair joined
by rather obscure transverse nervelets, all slightly impressed a-
bove; petiole .75 in. long. Cymes axillary, rounded, many-flower-
ed, widely dichotomous, reaching in. long and about 3 in. broad;
peduncles 1.5 to 2 in. long; bracts linear subulate, 1 in. long;
pedicels short, slender, nearly glabrous, .05 to .1 in. long;
flowers purple? Calyx very short, nearly glabrous but with a few
stellate hairs and minutely glandular-punctate, very shortly l-
toothed. Corolla twice as long as calyx .1 in.; lobes rounded,
sparsely stellate—pubescent and glandular—punctate. Stamens long
exsert; filaments slender; anthers small; the connective glandular-
punctate. Ovary rounded, very glandular; style very long, twisted;
stigma peltate, large. Drupe purple, small, .075 to .1 in. in di-
am., nearly globose; pyrenes l,......Singapore: near the Botanic

Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) gives the distribution of this
species as "S.-China! Canton! Lappas-Isl.! Kwantung! Hongkong!
Hainan} Macao! Silhet! ? Tenasserim!? Singapore!"
Recent collectors describe the plant as a low woody shrub, 1--3
m. tall, or sometimes a small to large tree, to 9 m. tall, erect,
the stems 15--25 cm. in diameter, bark brown and flaky, branches
pale furfuraceous, becoming gray-green, the leaves "yellow-green"
or green, pale- or deep-green above, pale-green or grayish mealy=-
tomentose beneath (or “light-green above, tawny beneath"), "with
prominent glaucous vein" beneath, the flowers fragrant or ill-
smelling, the stamens purple, the immature fruit green, maturing
to red (Chun & Tso 714, Tsang s.n., Wang 3546), lilac (Chun
6846), purple-red (Liang 6325h), purple, or blue; "green to
white" on Liang 66369 and "brown" on Chun 1,022 & Lei 125. The
corolla is described as being "red" on W. T. Tsang 29, "pink" on

Collectors have found the plant growing in loam soil or sand,
in open thickets, mixed woods, forests, and gardens, on level
land, slopes, open hillsides, rocky mountains, and forest mar-
gins, along open roadsides and streamsides, and in partial shade
at the sides of ravines, at altitudes of 1200 feet, flowering in
February and from April to September, fruiting from August to
February. Tsang describes it as "abundant scattered shrubs in
dry sandy soil", Lau says "fairly common, dry cliffs, sandy soil!
and Lei reports "rare in loam of dry level land", "scattered
shrubs in village greens", and "in roadside gardens". Bodinier
reports it as "rare dans 1'fle" on Hongkong, while Chun found it
to be "common" on Hainan Island.
It should be noted that Sprengel (1825) places Roxburgh's C.
acuminata in the synonymy of C. heynii Roth [now known as C.
candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr.]. The Hooker & Arnott 1836 reference
in the bibliography of C. nudiflora is dated "181" by Bakhuizen
van den Brink (1921), Stapf (1929), and P'ei (1932), but actually
was published in 1836 [see the dates of publication of the various
pages of this work, as well as of the plates, under C. kochiana
in these notes]. The Wallich 1829 reference is cited as "1020"
by Bakhuizen van den Brink, who also cites the 185 Walpers refer-
ence by the title-page date of "18),--18)8". The King & Gamble
publications, referred to above, are both often cited as "1909"
and the pages reversed or the serial citation given as "7 (\)".
Dr. Lam (1919) reduces Roxburgh's C. acuminata to synonymy under
C. longifolia f. floccosa Schau.
The Callicarpa acuminata var. angustifolia of Metcalf (1932)
seems to be merely a new name for C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn. as
distinguished by him from C. acuminata Roxb. and C. reevesii Wall.
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 35
He cites for it a Ford s.n., originally determined as C. purpurea
A. L. Juss. in the Arnold Arboretum herbarium. Callicarpa macro-
phylla var. sinensis C. B. Clarke is described by Clarke (1885)
as having "Leaves oblong-lanceolate, closely denticulate, pedun-
cles longer than the petioles, anthers oblong, larger. -- Canara;
Gibson. Calcutta; Distrib. China. Branches upwards dense with
leaves. Teeth of the leaves with minute black glandular spots.
Calyx in flower stellately tomentose, soon nearly glabrate; teeth
elongate, often somewhat longer than the tube. Probably a culti-
vated plant: it seems as near to C. Reevesii as to C. macrophylla
Chang (1951) compares it with C. nudiflora Hook. & Arn. and with
C. lobo~apiculata Metc. My good friend, Dr. Santapau, in a letter
to me dated February 16, 1948, says "Call. macrophylla var. sin-
ensis is given as a Bombay plant on the word of Gibson, who found
it in Kanara; unless we are told which Kanara is meant, we cannot
draw any definite conclusion, although I am inclined to think it
was the North Kanara [Bombay Pres.], in which Gibson did botanise
extensively."
The Griffith 6040/1, cited below, was apparently taken from a
cultivated plant in India, the seeds of which were "ex China".
Sen & Naskar (1965) record the species as cultivated in India,
Bojer (1837) says that it is cultivated in Mauritius. Bailey
(1935) reports that it was offered to the horticultural trade at
that time by the Singapore Botanical Garden. Machfillan (193)
includes it among the species cultivated in the tropics, calling
it a "Large straggling sh.[rub] or small tree. L.[eaves] large,
tomentose. Fls. pink, in large cymes. S. China."
Vernacular names reported for the species are "pan ko fa"
lectors and/or herbaria whose names, unfortunately, he gives only
in Chinese characters.
Under Genus 1%, Callicarpa, in the Linnean Herbarium in London,
sheet no. 2 is inscribed "tomentosa" in Linnaeus' handwriting and
"cana" in Solander's writing. The specimen is neither C. tomento—
sa (L.) Murr. nor C, candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr. [the taxon which
used to be called C. cana L.], but is plainly typical C. mudiflora
Hook. & Arn.! Sheet no. 3 in the same folder, unidentified, is
actually C. candicans.
Material of C. nudiflora has been misidentified and distributed
in herbaria under the names C. macrophylla Vahl, C. purpurea A. L.
Juss., C. tomentosa Willd., and Premna arborea Roth. On the other

Recent collectors refer to this plant as a shrub, 2—}; feet
tall, growing in woods, open pine woods, and cutover scrubby pine-
land on serpentine-limonite plateaus, as well as on wet savannas,
at 800 m. altitude, flowering in April, July, November, and Decen-
ber, and fruiting in April, July, and December. Webster calls it
"a rare shrub with purple berries"; actually the fruits are drupes.
Marie-Victorin and his associates tell us that it grows with Anas-
traphia victorinii and in Pinus cubensis woods. The corollas are
described as having been "pink" on R. A. Howard 5900, "pale, al-
C. Bucher 100g, 100u, 100w, & 100y, "pale lavender" on Mrs. G. C.
Bucher 100 L, and "brighter lavender, almost purple” on her 100m.
Mrs. Bucher has provided me with a large series of specimens
from the Moa region of Oriente, Cuba. For a time I was of the o-
pinion that her no. 16, at least, was worthy of specific designa-
tion as C. inopina Moldenke, but her series of no. 100's contains
examples of so many variations and intergradations that it seems
to me now that all her collections had better be included in Ur-
ban's C. oblanceolata. A modified description, based on her no.
16, is as follows: "Shrub; branches slender, gray, densely farina-
ceous with gray or whitish furf, very much less so in age, obscure-
ly tetragonal, somewhat flattened and ampliate at the nodes; nodes
not annulate; principal internodes 1—3 cm. long or the uppermost
more abbreviated; leaves decussate-opposite, abundant; petioles
slender, 5—1l1 m. long, grayish-farinaceous, obscurely and shal-

lowly canaliculate above, keeled beneath; leaf-blades coriaceous,
gray-green above when mature, brunnescent above in drying when
immature, sordid-grayish or -yellowish beneath both when immature
and mature, narrowly elliptic, 2—-l.7 cm. long, 8—17 m. wide,
blunt or subacute at the apex, entire and slightly revolute along
the margins (occasionally strongly revolute toward the base on
older leaves), minutely white-stellate above when immature, glab-
rescent and shiny in age, often sparsely impressed black-punctate
toward the base above, acute at the base, very densely stellate—
tomentellous or -farinaceous with very closely appressed whitish
or yellowish furf beneath; midrib slender, impressed above, prom-
inent beneath; secondaries very short, about 7 per side, ascending,
arcuate toward the margins and there rather obscurely anastomosing
beneath; veinlet reticulation sparse, indiscernible above, only
the largest portions discernible beneath; inflorescence supra-
axillary; cymes usually one pair at the termination of the year's
growth, 2.5--3.5 cm. long, 1.5--2.5 cm. wide, many-flowered, sev-
eral times dichotomous, densely yellowish-furfuraceous throughout;
peduncles slender, about 1 cm. long, flattened; pedicels minute
or obsolete; bractlets 1 mm. long or less, subulate, densely yel-
lowish-furfuraceous; prophylla obsolete; calyx campanulate, firm,
subtetragonal, about 2.5 mm. long and 2 mm. wide, sparsely granu-
lar-pulverulent outside, its rim subtruncate, minutely apiculate;
corolla small, hypocrateriform, its tube broadly infundibular,
cylindric at the base, about 2 m. long, broadly ampliate above,
glabrous (or very sparsely granular—pulverulent at the apex out-
side), its limb l-parted, the lobes broadly elliptic-lingulate, a-
bout 1.2 mm. long and wide, obtuse at the apex, sparsely gramlar-
pulverulent outside; stamens 4, inserted about 0.5 mm. above the
base of the corolla-tube; filaments filiform, to 3.5 mm. long,
glabrous, one sometimes much shorter; anthers oblong, to 1.2 mn.
long and 0.7 m. wide, opening by longitudinal slits.
Mrs. Bucher's nos. "10a, 100b, 100e, & 100h have the leaf-
blades decidedly pale beneath, 1 Toor & | & 100j hav have them pale and
with curled edges, 100m has peated extra “wide, 100k has them wide
and also pale, 100q has has them long and slender, 10 100y has all the
edges of the leaf-blades revolute, 100s gata HIRE both large and
small leaves on the same branches (it w. was collected in November,
the rainy season), 100v has wide leaves said by the collector to
be "very tan underneath, not gray", 100w has its leaf-blades sparse-
ly dentate toward the apex and is said by the collector to have had
“wider leaves and scattered flowers", 100r also shows the leaves
decidedly toothed at the apex and of it the collector notes "These
certainly look different — wavy edges — smaller flowers in more
delicate arrangement", concerning 100c & 100d she says "All these
leaves look different, more veined, rougher a and wider", and con-
cerning 100g she asks "and what of this leaf, under [side] not
clean tan?" -clément 4122 has its leaf-blades all sharp—pointed at
the apex, while Leén & & Clément 23128 [July 1949] has relatively
huge leaves and certainly does not look like C. oblanceolata at all!

BOOK REVIEWS
Alma L. Moldenke
"BEFORE NATURE DIES" by Jean Dorst, translated by Constance D.
Sherman, 352 pp., illus., Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, Mass.
02107. 1970. $8.95.
These well expressed thoughts about this most important topic
first appeared in Switzerland in 1965 under the title of "Avant
que Nature Meure". The translator has rendered a faithful and
smooth language switch such as she previously provided in the
author's earlier "Migration of Birds" and has also brought statis-
tical materials up to date. The book is well illustrated with
colored and black-and-white photographs and line drawings, well
indexed, and well documented with bibliography.
Contrasting the minor effects of the smaller mumber of pre-
industrial humans on their environment with that of the burgeoning
populations of today that are destroying the land, water, air and
energy sources, the author provides valid, concrete and convincing
suggestions of how modern man can live as one with nature and so
provide for his ow survival.
The printing is neat and easily legible. Only two small errors
were noted: on p. 257 the letter "v" is inverted in "have" and on
p. 323 the "f" is omitted in "four". On p. 187 "wheat smut" is
equated with Lychnis [Agrostemma] githago.
"MAN AND THE NATURAL WORLD — An Introduction to Life Science" by
Coleman J. & Olive B. Goin, x & 63 pp., illus., The Macmil-
lan Company, Riverside, New Jersey 08075. 1970. $9.95.
In the preface to this attractive text the authors state that
they "believe that the general student, to be a well-informed
citizen, should not only have an understanding of his ow body,
his own reproductive process, and his own inheritance, but should
also have a sufficient biological background to comprehend the
problem of population control, the genetic effects of radiation,
the implications of pollution, and the basic concepts of behavior
[and they] do not feel that such technical details as the anatomy
of the clam or the whole series of reactions involved in the tri-
carboxylic acid cycle are a necessary part of the core of know-
ledge of a banker, lawyer, merchant, or housewife." This emphasis
is logical and the approach is simple: in fact, so simple that it
does not go much beyond the better of the new high school biology
texts. But the use of this text is far wiser for the non-biology
major than those texts so burdened in their opening chapters with
detailed microbiology and biochemistry that the students are not
"turned on" by this wonderful field of learning.
Many of the diagrams are beat 9 helpful but the one on p. 125

350 PE Yeh CO LO Tk Vol. 21, no. 5
adds nothing but errors.
The references given after each chapter are usually easily ac-
cessible and easily readable, but no references are given to such
a popular scientific work as Dr. Paul Ehrlich's "Population Bomb"
and other writings.
On p. 161 apparently is misspelled and on p. 126 an infinitive
is split.
"INTRODUCTION TO THE FINE STRUCTURE OF PLANT CELLS" by Myron C.
Ledbetter & Keith R. Porter, ix & 188 pp., illus., Springer-
Verlag, Heidelberg, Berlin, New York, N. Y. 10010. 1970.
$1.80.
With 51 exquisite oversized full plates and 8 text figures,
with matching and provocative text, and with related literature
references for each, the authors have presented a work of art and
science to viewers. These should be many, many more than just
the amateur, student, teaching and professional cytologists and
electron microscopists. What a pleasure and orienter this col-
lection of electron micrographs could be for all beginning and
stumbling biology students first at their microscopes! All schools
should have a few copies of this book on their library shelves,
especially since the price is so reasonable.
This atlas includes general and fine cell structure, dividing
cells, cell walls and plasmodesmata, vascular tissues, sc(h)leren-
chyma and collenchyma, epidermal cells and variants, photosynthet-
ic cells and apparatus, cells with special inclusions, and germin-
ative cells.
The printing and paper are of high quality. On p. 3) Allium
is misspelled; on p. 121 the genus and species names are run to-
gether.
"THE VEGETATION OF THE NEW JERSEY PINE=BARRENS — An Ecologic
Investigation" by John W. Harshberger, xi & 329 pp., illus.,
map, unabridged republication of the 1916 edition. Dover
Publications Co., New York, N. Y. 10014. 1970. $3,50
paperback.
Especially because of the increasing interest in ecology on the
part of the general public as well as that of the scientists and
because of airfield construction threats, many scientists and
aroused citizens will be interested in studying and preserving
this distinctive area in New Jersey. This sturdy paperback book
will provide valuable and interesting information. It is so good
to have it freshly available now. It is hoped that the companion
volume by Witmer Stone, "The Plants of Southern New Jersey, with
Especial Reference to the Flora of the Pine-Barrens and the Geo-
graphic Distribution of the Species", may also be made similarly
available soon.
Harshberger deals with the following topics: physiography and
geography, man's commercial effects, various phytogeographical
1971 Moldenke, Book reviews 351
formations, plants of each area, cone production, insect galls, .
and finally pine-barren plants from an evolutionary viewpoint. The
many photographs add considerably to the text and in some cases
show "what was" under a present farm or housing development.
Naturally the plant nomenclature is that of 60 years ago and the
index is still far from complete.
"PROGRESS IN PHYTOCHEMISTRY", Volume 2 edited by L. Reinhold & Y.
Liwschitz, ix & 512 pp., illus., Interscience Publishers of
John Wiley & Sons, London, New York, N. Y. 10016, Sydney &
Toronto. 1970. $27.50.
This series performs effectively a necessary service for both
the "initiated and the uninitiated" who wish to keep abreast of the
rapid developments in phytochemistry. The eight papers are well
written, well printed (accessory is misspelled on p. 150), well
illustrated and well documented with full and recent biblio-
graphies. All is indexed.
‘The topics are: 1 - biochemistry of pollen, 2 - C},-dicarboxylic
acid pathway in photosynthesis affecting different chloroplasts
and conditions than the Calvin cycles, 3 - fraction-l protein and
photosynthetic COo-fixation in chloroplasts, ) - mutual and antag-
onistic relations among certain plants, their insect visitors and
avoiders, their isoprenoids, and the role and development of
specialized insect hormones in plants, 5 - non-protein amino acids
in plants and their antimetabolite actions, 6 = prenyl phytoquin-
ones including the role polyprenyl quinones as redox carriers in
electron transplant and coupling agents from it to phosphoryla-
tion in mitochondria and chloroplasts, 7 - ethylene with its
abscissic and fruit ripening actions, and 8 - limonoids limited
to the Meliaceae and the Rutaceae and quassinoids limited to the
Simaroubaceae.
"THE INDUCTION OF FLOWERING — Some Case Histories" edited by L.
T. Evans, 488 pp., illus., Cornell University Press, Ithaca,
N. Y. 14850. 1969. $18.50.
Between the covers of this book is well gathered and carefully
evaluated a vast amount of valuable material in a most convenient
form. The case histories by different authors are of Xanthium
strumarium, Glycine max, Pharbitis nil, Perilla, Chenopodium r ru-
brum, Lemn a perpusilla, Cannabis sativa, Kalanchoé blossfeldiana,
Fragari da, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Aral Arabidopsis th thaliana, Sinapis
alba, Toltum temulentum, Silene armeria, Brassica campes campestris, Ana-
gallis arven arvensis, Pisum sativum, Lycopersicon esculentum, Cestrum
nocturnum and Bryophyllum. Ea ‘ Each is discussed with reference to
experimental work according to the following topics: history,
growth and growing techniques, inflorescence structure, effects of
aging, vernalization, photoperiod response, spectral dependence,
endogenous rhythms, fractional induction, photoperiodic inhibition
352 PH YP ORL O2G. Tee Vol. 2, no. 5
and dual responses, effects of temperature and mineral nutrition
and gas composition, translocation of the floral stimulus, graft-
ing, growth promoters and retardants, florigenic extracts, in-
duction of excised apices, and chemical and ultrastructural
changes at induction.
The final chapter is an excellent summary by the editor. "In-
ductive photoperiodic conditions lead to the export from leaves of
floral stimuli which may differ between plants. Non-inductive
conditions can lead to the export of inhibitors of flower evoca-
tion, whose production is also under photoperiodic control.
Besides these primary photoperiodic stimuli there may also be pro-
duced a more stable, and possibly more universal, graft-
transmissible flower hormone. This can be generated, indepen-
dently of floral evocation, by extended photoperiodic induction
of leaves (Perilla), or by secondary induction of young leaves
(Xanthium) or defoliated leaves (Silene), or simply with increas-
ing age (Pisum). There is thus a multiplicity of floral stimuli,
and what is a positive stimulus to floral evocation in one plant
or condition may be inhibitory to it in another, as are the
gibberellins and abscisin."
Each paper is well printed and has its own detailed biblio—-
graphy, adding so much to all the valuable data given.
The price is more astronomical than botanical!
TWO NEW VARIETIES OF PIPEWORT
Harold N. Moldenke
LEIOTHRIX DUBIA var. VILLOSA Moldenke, var. nov.
Haec varietas a forma typica speciei pedunculis densissime albo—-
villosis pilis antrorsis recedit. This variety differs from the
typical form of the species in having its peduncles very densely
white-villous with antrorse hairs.
The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, H. Maxwell,
and D. C. Wasshausen (no. 204,81) in a wet campo in an area of campo
slopes and sandstone outcrops in the Serra do Cipé, at km. 115 about
14,0 km. north of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on February
19, 1968, and is deposited in the Britton Herbarium at the New York
Botanical Garden.
SYNGONANTHUS DENSIFLORUS var. GLABRESCENS Moldenke, var. nov.
Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliis vaginisque glabris

The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, R. Souza,
J. W. Grear, and R. Reis dos Santos (no. 17022) on a periodically
flooded campo, 00 m. alt., ca. 30 km. S. of xavantina, Mato Grosso,
Brazil, on June 12, 1966, and is deposited in my personal herbarium
at Plainfield, New Jersey.

CERTAMEN MELASTOMATACEIS XVII.
John J. Wurdack
U. S. National Herbarium, Smithsonian Institution
The present melastome miscellany continues the notes on
neotropical species based on data from my European trip under
the auspices of the Snithsonian Research Foundation and subse-
quent loans (Phytologia 20: 369-389. 1970; Phytologia 21: 115-
130. 1971). Included also is the beginning of publication on
the numerous collections assembled by J. Terborgh,T. R. Dudley,
J. Knox, M. T. Madison, and F. Wolfe from the region of the
northern outlier of the Cordillera Vilcabamba; this Peruvian
material was gathered under the auspices of the National
Geographic Society and National Science Foundation (Grant GB-
12378). Of course too, no melastome article would be complete
without some inclusion of the taxonomic problems continually
uncovered by Julian Steyermark and others in Venezuela.

Type Collection: T. R. Dudley 10595 (holotype NA; isotype
Us), collected in dense montane rainforest on steep damp banks
bordering Knox's Cascade, ca. 14 km NE from Hacienda Luisiana
and Rio Apurimac, Cordillera Vilcabamba, Prov. Convencion,
Depto. Cuzco, Peru, 73° 35' W, 12° 35' N, elev. 1730 m, 28 June
1968. "Small tree 15-25 ft., 2-6 in. diam.; branches stiffly
ascending; lvs. dark green, glossy; fl. in terminal inflores-
cence, deep pink; anther horns deep purple.”
Paratype (topotypical): 1. R. Dudley 10583 (NA, US).
Meriania boliviensis has relatively broader and basally
less attenuate leaf blades, with distinctly stellulate-pinoid
primary vein hairs on the lower surface (a few simple caducous
setulae intermixed); the hypanthia are densely covered with
stellulate-pinoid hairs (sone hairs with protracted setuliform
tips) and the densely pinoid-puberulent external calyx teeth
project ca. 3 mm beyond the interior lobes. Both species have
the basal connective spur on the small stamens much flattened
and broadened. Cogniaux' anther dimensions for M. boliviensis
apparently are from a bud, as mature anthers (Bang 288) are 9 or
6 mm long (dry), with the dorsal ascending appendage somewhat
smaller than in M. vilcabambensis. Another relative (ex char.)
of M. vilcabambensis, the Colombian M. tuberculata Triana,
differs at least in the (essentially) basally 7-nerved leaf
blades with rounded bases, somewhat costate hypanthia, and
shorter calyx lobes, as well as (if my determinations of several
recent Antioquia collections are correct: Daniel 1712; Core 1673
Scolnik & Barkley 19An197; Johnson & Barkley 186835) the stellu-
late-pinoid trichomes. Both of the recently described Cuzco
species, M. cuzcoana Wurdack and M. vargasii Wurdack, are quite
different vegetatively from M. vilcabambensis; the latter of the
two has somewhat the same leaf shape, but abundant foliar and
hypanthial pubescence and much longer external calyx teeth.

Macrocentrum peruvianum (Cogn.) Macbride, Field Mus. Publ.
Bobs Js 27 «i 1eo
The phytogeography and fruit leave no doubts as to the pro-
per generic disposition of Cogniaux' variety; Macbride was
correct in his 1929 remarks about the distinctness from M.
fasciculatum. To S. peruviana, I have referred F. Wolfe 12319
NA, US), from the slopes of the Cerros del Sira, southwestern
slope of the Rfo Llullapichi watershed, Depto. Hudnuco, Peru,
elev. 1290 m ("Ascending herb; fl. white"); the Hudnuco material
has somewhat smaller (to 1.9 X 1.3 cm) leaf blades than in the
Weberbauer collection. Salpinga peruviana differs from S.
maranonensis Wurdack in the smaller leaf blades with shorter
0.5-1 mm long ) and less persistent hairs on the upper surfaces,
as well as the smaller flowers and fruit (petals 4-5 mm long and
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 355
white, rather than 16-19 mm long and pink; fruiting body 4-5 m
shorter). The Colombian S. dimorpha (Gleason) Wurdack and the
Peruvian S. ciliata Pilger differ at least in the larger and
more prominently toothed leaf blades and larger flowers.

conico 0.6 mm alto granuloso sparse setuloso (setulis ca. 10,
0.1-0.15 mm longis).
Type Collection: J. A. Steyermark & G. S. Bunting 102757
(holotype US 2585847A; isotype VEN), collected near the airport
at San Carlos de Rfo Negro, Terr. Amazonas, Venezuela, elev.
125 m, 17-18 April 1970. "Vining; stem slender; leaves membra-
nous, rich green above, pale green below with raised nerves;
petioles green, with brownish hairs; inflorescence branches pale
green; calyx pale green; petals white."
Both suggested relatives are erect shrubs with leaf blades
about 2-3 times as large as in L. steyermarkii and stamen connec-
tives not at all prolonged. Leandra aristigera has longer
external calyx teeth and longer corolla mucros, while L.
lasiopoda has shortly pseudo-plinerved leaf blades with broadly
356 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 6
acute bases. Despite my recent perplexity with this complex
(Phytologia 20: 377-378. 1970), L. steyermarkii seems specifi-
cally distinct. In vegetative pubescence, the San Carlos
species resembles Clidemia stellipilis (Gleason) Wurdack and
in habit, Clidemia epibaterium DC.
MICONIA DUDLEYI Wurdack, sp. nov.

Type Collection: T. R. Dudley 11489 (holotype US 2587599A;
isotype NA), collected in rainforest at edge of Rfo Mapitunuari
ca. 4 km NE from Hacienda Luisiana and Rfo Apurimac, 12° 30' S,
74° 30' W, Prov. Convencion, Depto. Cuzco, Peru, elev. ca. 670m
31 July 1968. "Heavy robust many-stemmed clump-forming shrub
15-20 ft. tall; lvs. dark green and glossy above, yellowish and
glossy below, up to 2.5 ft. long; fl. white; mature fruit brown-
ish purple.”
Paratypes: Dudley 11509 (fruiting) and M. T. Madison 10045
(young bud), both topotypical; Killip & Smith 25891 (US), from
Porvenir, Pichis Trail, Depto. Junin, Peru, elev. 1500-1900 m.
Miconia phlebodes has obtuse- to truncate-based leaf blades
with finer venule areoles, hypanthia granulose-furfuraceous,
petals granulose externally, anthers with narrower pores and
bilobed connective bases, and granulose ovary apices. Miconia
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 357
herrerae Gleason has similar foliage but larger trichomes,
smaller inflorescences with pleiostemonous flowers glomerulate
only at the branchlet ends, broader hypanthia, and relatively
wider petals (2.5 X 1.6-1.9 mm); although several recent collec-
tions have been attributed to M. herrerae, the only one truly
comparable with the holotype is Vargas 18339 (Macchupicchu,
Cuzco), the other material so identified actually being related
(undescribed?) to M. eriocalyx Cogn., M. falcata Cogn., and
M. dipsacea Naud. None of the other Miconia species with gross
facies similar to M. dudleyi (M. zubenetana Macbride, M. egensis
Cogn.) seems closely related in floral features. The Junin
collection of M. dudleyi was mistakenly distributed as M.
scorpioides (S. & C.) Naud.; that widespread species (correctly
M. trinervia [Sw.] Don ex Loud.) has plinerved leaf blades and
flowers unilateral on the inflorescence branchlets.
MICONIA SPENNEROSTACHYA Naud.
Miconia pauciglandulosa Naud., Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot.
16: 183. 1851.
All of the Poeppig collections (W) cited by Cogniaux show
nectaries adaxially on the petiole apices or leaf blade bases
and flowers secund on the ultimate inflorescence branchlets; the
buds of Mathews 1305 (FI) have anther connectives basally with
glands. Gleason (Bull. Torrey Club 58: 237. 1931) and Macbride
(Field Mus. Publ. Bot. 13, 4: 454. 1941) had earlier (and
correctly) synonymized M. aspiazui Macbride and M. nectaria
Macbride under M. spennerostachya. The leaf shape and degree
of plinervation are quite variable; M. aspiazui conforms to
M. spennerostachya var. angustifolia Cogn. Among the available
collections, the amount of plinervation and also nectary develop-
ment is least in Klug 2620. Despite the previous descriptions,
all material of M. spennerostachya has the petals granulose, the
styles sparsely to moderately beset with clavate glands basally,
the ovary apices moderately beset with minute glands, and the
ovaries predominantly 4-5-celled. Undoubtedly the closest rela-
tive of M. spennerostachya is M. venulosa Wurdack, with no
foliar nectary development and eglandular anther connectives;
recent collections of M. venulosa include Asplund 18898 (Napo-
Pastaza, Ecuador), Prieto ChuP-10 (Santiago-Zamora, Ecuador)
and Woytkowski 7539 (Loreto, Peru; distributed as M. prasina).
MICONIA BUNTINGII Wurdack, sp. nov.

apice conico paullulo lobulato vix granuloso.
Type Collection: J. A. Steyermark & G. S. Bunting 102930
(holotype US 2585825A; isotype VEN), collected in rainforest
7-9 km from Yavita on the way to Pimichfn, Terr. Amazonas,
Venezuela, elev. 125 m, 22 April 1970. "Tree 8 m; leaves
membranous, dull green above, dull green below with dull yellow
nerves and midrib.”
Miconia tetragona has sharply tetragonal young branchlets
with substellulate hairs ca. 0.05 mm diam., hypanthia resinous-
granulose outside, small anthers not appendaged, and a sub-
peltate stigma ca. O.7 mm diam. Miconia perturbata Wurdack has
firmer very shortly blunt-acuminate leaf blades glabrous on the
lower surface, larger flowers, and definite triangular calyx
lobes 0.2-0.3 mm long. Other Miconia species with vegetative
and inflorescence aspect rather similar to M. buntingii include
M. regelii Cogn. (inflorescence branches opposite; anthers
longer), M. tetrasperma Gleason and M. tetraspermoides Wurdack
(firmer leaf blades, acute petals, long anther thecae), and
M. pilgeriana Ule (firmer and somewhat larger leaf blades,
basally exappendiculate anther connectives, and rimose anther
thecae rounded at the apex). The anther dehiscence in M.
buntingii was not ascertainable from the mature flower buds.
Miconia eugenioides Triana grows in the same region as M.
buntingii, but is distinguishable by the finer pubescence,
firmer leaf blades glabrous on the lower surface, much longer
acutish petals, lanceate anther thecae with cordulate connec-
tive appendages, and truncate ovary apices.
MICONIA MALATESTAE Macbride
Collected thrice recently at Carpish, Huanuco, Peru
(Asplund 13118; Ferreyra 2295; Hutchison, Wright, & Straw 5940),
the species is distinguishable by the large firm finely serru-
late leaf blades with stout petioles and the well-developed
cauline nodal flaps. Macbride had placed M. malatestae in Sect.
Miconia; however, I believe that it is a dioecious species of
Sect. Cremanium, known still only from female collections and
best placed near M. coelestis (Don) Naud. The type material of
M. coelestis (FI, OXF) shows similar but smaller flowers (also
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 359
female, with abortive anthers) and branchlet nodes without
developed flaps (the obscure interpetiolar lines marked by
roughened setulae 0.3-0.5 mm long).
MICONIA TABAYENSIS Wurdack, nom. nov.
Miconia micrantha Pittier, Bol. Soc. Venez. Cienc. Nat. 11:
27. 1947, nec M. micrantha Cogn. (Bull. Torrey Club 23: 16.
1896) nec M. micrantha Pilger (Verh. Bot. Ver. Brand. 47: 173.
1905; M. wittii Ule, nom. nov., Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berl. 6:
367. 1915).
Pittier published a nomen nudum (Cat. Fl. Venez. 2: 236.
1947) based upon Gehriger 595 and in the same year the des-
eription for M. micrantha based on the same collection; the
Instituto Botanico material has a third (but unpublished)
binomial indicated on their specimens. Aristeguieta and
Steyermark both have indicated (in correspondence) that the
relative dates of publication in 1947 cannot be established.
Miconia tabayensis is distinctive in its lower leaf surfaces
sparsely to moderately setulose with apically irregularly
branched or barbellate hairs 0.2-0.7 mm long. Another collec-
tion (topotypical) of M. tabayensis is Gehriger 382 (distrib-
uted as M. resimoides Cogn.), with male flowers; Gehriger 595
is female. Miconia laetevirens Uribe is superficially rather
like M. tabayensis, but has shorter less barbellate pubescence,
3-nerved leaf blades, and perfect flowers. Miconia purulensis
Donn. Smith has pubescence of clavate apically roughened but
basally smooth hairs and relatively narrower anther thecae
(1 X 0.3 mm), but is also dioecious. Miconia boliviensis Cogn.
has shorter (ca. 0.2 mn) clavate-pinoid hairs on the primary
veins of the lower leaf surfaces, rather densely robust-
ciliolate leaf margins, and considerably larger flowers.
Miconia acanthocoryne Wurdack has thicker 3-nerved caudate-
acuminate leaf blades and perfect flowers; the original stamen
dimensions given (Phytologia 5: 128) were erroneously magnified
by a factor of 3.
MICONIA LATIFOLIA (D. Don) Naud.

16: 236. 1851.
Miconia epiphytica Cogn., DC. Mon. Phan. 7: 934. 1891.
The type collections (OXF, P) of all the taxa have been
examined; Cogniaux evidently never saw the Pavon type of M.
latifolia, which is best matched in modern collections by Tovar
4080 (US) from Huancavelica, Peru. The degree of setula develop-
ment on stems and lower leaf surfaces is quite variable, but the
floral features (especially the short anthers) seem constant.
Both M. alpina Cogn. and M. fruticulosa Cogn. (material not at
hand) must be evaluated in connection with M. latifolia. Miconia
griffisii Macbride (isotype US) has hypanthia more-or-less setu-
lose and branchlets densely setulose, but does not seem to
360 PHY. T.0.L 0.G EA Vol. 2, no. 6
differ in internal floral features from M. latifolia; it is
perhaps infraspecifically distinct. Macbride described M.
ottikeri as with 5-lobed fruiting calyces; however the US
isotype has definitely 4-merous’ fruit. In M. ottikeri (but
with no real conviction as to the specific distinctness from
M. latifolia), I have placed two recent collections (both with
larger leaf blades than the type; style and filaments glabrous):
Wurdack 1688 and Sanchez 357, both from the Cerros de Calla-

MICONIA THYRSIFLORA (Don) Naud.
Miconia integrifolia Cogn., DC. Mon. Phan. 7: 936. 1891.
Both types (G-BOISS, OXF) actually are identical, probably
parts of the same collection. The species differs from M.
latifolia in the densely pinoid-puberulous branchlets, entire
leaf blades, slightly smaller flowers, densely (rather than
sparsely) glandular-puberulous styles, and galeate (rather than
capitellate) stigmas. The original publication by Don was as
Cremanium 3; the chain of misspellings (as
"thyrs idea") was started by De Candolle (Prodromus 3: 191.
1828) and followed by Naudin, Cogniaux, and Macbride but not
Triana; Naudin, rather than Triana, should be regarded as the
combining author (having cited De Candolle who in turn cited
Don), despite his spelling of the epithet. Macbride's note
about the affinities with M. flavescens Cogn. was a perceptive
remark; actually both M. flavescens and M. mandonii Cogn. have
h-merous flowers and the latter species also has galeate stig-
mas. As alluded by Macbride in the Flora of Peru, his photo-
graph (17179) and that of Gleason (7-2) from the Berlin herb-
arium are actually of M. nitida (Don) Naud., rather than M.
thyrsiflora. Another, Pavon specimen mixup is with M. laurina
(Don) Naud.; the Pavon collections (OXF, US, the latter ex
Herb. Lambert) represent a form of M. media (Don) Naud. with
essentially entire-margined leaf blades. Probably M. laurina
should be regarded as a subspecies of M. media, but more
collections are needed (cf. Phytologia 9: 421. 1964).
ALLONEURON Pilger
Among New World melastomes, two characters rarely occur,
haplostemony and capsular fruit developing from an inferior
ovary. The conjunction of these features appears only in
Alloneuron Pilger, Cyphostyla Gleason, and Allomaieta Gleason.
Other genera with haplostemony (no trace of the antepetalous
stamens or staminodia) include Poteranthera Bongard (one of the
two species), Siphanthera Pohl ex DC. (a few species), Monochae-
tum Naud. (a few species), and Miconia R. & P. (one species, M.
tetrandra [Sw. ] Naud.), all except Miconia with superior ovaries
and capsular fruits. Diplostemonous genera with inferior
ovaries followed by capsular fruit are Tateanthus Gleason and
(ex descr.) Merianthera Kuhlm. Pittier (Journ. Wash. Acad.
Sci. 19: 184. 1929) ascribed leathery capsules to Anaectocalyx
latifolia Cogn.; the currently available collections of
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 361
Anaectocalyx are insufficient to affirm or deny this feature.
Cyphostyla and Allomaieta were segregated by Gleason into a
separate tribe, Cyphostyleae; both genera have simple smooth
trichomes and relatively large flowers with exappendiculate
anthers and 5-celled ovaries. The present collections of the
Cyphostyleae are quite inadequate for further generic elucida-
tion; however, Cyphostyla hirsuta Gleason is currently being
evaluated by Charles Schnell in connection with Conostegia
myriasporoides Triana.
While Macbride was studying the synonymy of Meiandra Mef.
under Alloneuron (Trop. Woods 17: 13. 1929), the branchlet wood
structure was found by Record to conform with that of the
Miconieae rather than Memecyleae; further study of the anatomy
of mature wood is ore a recent sample having been collected
with Cuatrecasas 15764 (usw 33129). In superficial vegetative
facies, the two species of Alloneuron from lowland Amazonian
Peru and Colombia resemble Gesneriaceae; both species have
stellulate as well as simple smooth hairs and pedicellate
flowers unilaterally arranged on the inflorescence branchlets.
The four species now being described differ from the original
two in the pinoid to squamate trichomes (in the inflorescences
microscopically and very caducously gland-tipped ) and nearly
sessile glomerulate flowers (the glomerules perhaps actually
with unilateral flowers borne on a much shortened axis, but
this feature not really evaluable superficially in pressed
specimens) ; nonetheless, in internal floral features, all six
species are much alike.
While Pilger described A. ulei Pilger as with 2-celled
ovaries (followed by Macbride in the Flora of Peru), Markgraf's
diagnoses for both species of Meiandra cited 3-celled ovaries;
I believe that Markgraf's description of this feature is the
correct one for the genus. The capsular dehiscence is at first
central through the hypanthium wall, at length extending to the
capsule apex; the seeds are pyramidate and smooth. As to
flower-mery, A. ulei was cited as 4-merous, but the synonymous
Meiandra minor Mgf. was described as 5-merous; in the only
available “collection of A. ulei (Cuatrecasas 8847, from
Florencia, Caqueta, Colombia), agreeing perfectly otherwise
with the descriptions and type photograph (Macbride 17396),
five petals are visible on each of three flowers and the ovary
is definitely 3-locular. An isotype (NY) of A. maius (Mgf.)
Mgf. ex Macbr. has been examined. ‘The three El Valle (Colombia)
collections of Alloneuron have been generic irritations for me
during the last 15 years; the Ayacucho (Peru) specimens, with
both flowers and fruit, provided the correlative spark.
The species of Alloneuron may be keyed as follows:

CLIDEMIA RUBRA (Aubl.) Mart. and allies
As is evident from the comments and classifications of
previous workers in the melastomes, the complex of species
around spp. 40-46 of Cogniaux' monograph is a taxonomically
recalcitrant group; both Naudin (Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3 Bot. 17:
331-332. 1852) and Gleason (Brittonia 3: 132. 1939) discussed
the vegetative and floral variability. The floral details
(especially the hypanthial, toral, and ovarial pubescence)
recently have been examined by me on several hundreds of collec-
tions, with only a few useful features adduced. Omitted from
the present discussion are C. ulei Pilger and C. uribei Wurdack
(which are reasonably distinct units) and C. aphanantha Sagot,
C. micrantha Sagot, and C. francavillana Cogn. (inadequately
known, with few or no topotypical recent collections). Also
not considered is C. microthyrsa R. 0. Williams (with longish-
pedicellate larger flowers); Irwin et al 54496 and 55152 from
Suriname, as well as Krukoff 11822 from Maranhao, Brazil, are
tentatively referred here. The C. rubra complex in Venezuela

CLIDEMIA MONANTHA L. Wms.
This recently described species is well characterized by
366 PHYTOL OG IA Vol. 21, no. 6
the distinctly petiolate leaves (with rounded blade bases and
basal primary veins), petals each with a subapical gland-tipped
setula, and glabrous ovaries. Most of the Venezuelan specimens
and one Costa Rican collection have some of the hypanthial hairs
gland-tipped, but otherwise C. monantha is quite uniform. The
species ranges from Mexico (Cerro San Martf{n, Vera Cruz, Sallé
&n., BM), Honduras (Cortes, Molina 11431; Olancho, Molina
Bush) , Nicaragua, Costa Rica (Guanacaste, Schnell 371; San
Ramon, Tonduz 17842, Brenes 14296 and 14300), Panama (Panama. ,
Cerro Azul, Duke 9335), and Venezuela (Carabobo, Falcon, Lara,
Miranda, Yaracuy).
CLIDEMIA RUBRA (Aubl.) Mart.
The Aublet type (BM) shows the largest leaves with petioles
ca. 0.5 cm long and narrowly ovate blades 8 X 4.5 em (rounded at
the base, not or scarcely plinerved) , as well as hypanthial
hairs in part gland-tipped; reasonably good vegetative matches
(also with gland-tipped hypanthial hairs) are Tutin 619 (BM) and
Schomburgk 95(98) (BM, P, W). Of the synonyms cited by Cogniaux,
Melastoma sessiliflora Vahl (C), C. heteromalla D. Don (OXF),
and Sagraea cognata Steud. (W) agree with the Aublet concept;
to this synonymy should be added C. platyphylla (Naud.) Cogn.,
the Ferreira holotype (P) of which is well matched by Schomburgk
648 (P). As thus restricted, the species is known by recent
collections from eastern Colombia (Amazonas, Schultes & Lopez
16441 and 16443; Meta, Hermann 11203), Venezuela (Amazonas),
Guyana (de la Cruz 1758, 2470, 3987; Graham 233; Hitchcock
17149), Suriname (Maguire & Stahel 25039), French Guiana
Broadway 161), Brazil (Amazonas, Fromm rh20, Santos 1468, Sota
13063; Para, Spruce 776), Peru (Loreto, Martin & Lau-Cam 1197,
Ferreyra 7847, Killip & Smith 29213, Dodson 2817), and Bolivia
Mapiri region, Buchtien 989, 990, 1716), but not Central
America.
CLIDEMIA SERICEA D. Don
Among the Cogniaux-cited synonyms not here placed under
C. rubra (vide supra), Don's binomial is the oldest available
one. Here belongs also Sagraea columnaefolia DC. (holotype M).
The varieties described by Naudin, Cogniaux, S. Moore, and
Hoehne under C. rubra are for a monographer to evaluate and
transfer. As defined here, a vegetatively extraordinary welter
remains; a few of the collections (Oersted 2831 and Schnell
500, from Costa Rica; Stern, Eyde, & ae 1954 and Davidson
676, from Chiriquf, Panama; Haught 5278, from Cauca, Colombia;
Delgado 250, from Cerro Avila, Venezuela) have nearly or quite
glabrous ovary apices, but vegetatively fall within C. sericea
sens. lat. From notes made in London, the holotype (BM of
Melastoma verticillata Miller is well matched by Philipson 2371
and Linden 1155; the use of Miller's epithet is preempted in
Clidemia.
CLIDEMIA ATTENUATA (Naud.) Cogn.
1971 Wurdack, Certamen Melastomataceis 367
Because of the basally attenuate distinctly plinerved
leaf blades with distinct petioles and non-glandular thial
hairs, C. atten has been maintained as a species, (but with
no real conviction), good matches for the Finlay type (P) being
Cowan & Wurdack 31544 (Amazonas, Venezuela) and A. C. Smith 3306
Kanuku Mountains, Guyana); Webster & Miller Ge» from
Trinidad, perhaps also belongs here. Urban (Symb. Ant. 3: 47=
48. 1902) noted that the Finlay collections at Paris, pur-
portedly from "St. Thomas", were probably collected in Trinidad.
In the Flora of Trinidad & Tobago, R. 0. Williams synonymized
C. attenuata under C. rubra. In Central America, a vegeta-
tively rather similar population occurs (the petioles somewhat
shorter, the blades usually smaller), but the ovaries are
glabrous (Mexico, Reko peer Honduras, Williams & Williams
18344, Molina & Molina 14129, Molina 10095, Meyer 9923; Costa
Rica, Skutch 2260; Panama, Blum & Godfrey 1736, Correa &
Dressler 465).
CLIDEMIA DEBILIS Crueg.
As indicated in the Flora of Trinidad & Tobago, C.
bonplandii (Naud.) Cogn. is synonymous with C. debilis. ‘The
species is known from Trinidad, Venezuela (D. Federal, Bolfvar),
and Brazil (Ceara, Pernambuco, Bahia). Because of the distinct-
ly plinerved leaf blades and glandular-setulose hypanthia in
C. aphanantha Sagot, I still have reservations about following
R. O. Williams with a further synonym under C. debilis.

18:0) 1891 (non C. rariflora Benth., Hook. Journ. Bot. 2: 308.
1840).
The type collection of C. fendleri (BR, K, NY) has egland-
ular or very sparsely gland-tipped hypanthial hairs, but more
recent collections have varying proportions of such glandular
trichomes. The holotype (P) of C. rariflora (Bonpl.) Cogn. has
short (0.3-0.5 mm) cauline pubescence, nearly glabrous (except
for the minute glands) upper leaf surfaces, and lower leaf
surfaces with the setulae mostly confined to the primary and
secondary veins; however, in other features (pubescence quality,
fine leaf venulation, glandular-setulose hypanthia, inflores-
cence form), it conforms at least specifically to C. fendleri.
Until topotypical material is collected to fix the variability
limits, no subspecific recognition seems warranted for the
"Cumana" plants. Despite Cogniaux' monograph separation,
C. fendleri is certainly very close to C. debilis, differing
in the more evolved inflorescences.

REVIEW AND COMMENTS ABOUT A THING
Otto & Isa Degener
Between August 2 and 31, 1967, with the help of a $5,000 grant
from the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy sponsored 4
scientific expedition into Kipahulu Valley, Island of Maui, Hawai-
jan Islands. Dr. Richard E. Warner, Foundaticn of Environmental Bi-
ology, Berkeley, California, was leader of about twenty scientists
of various biological disciplines and a variable number of guides,
*paniola and porters. The specialists in the main volunteered
their services or their institutions lent these men for the expedi-
tiono
The Conservancy copyrighted the result of the study in 1968
under the title "Scientific Report of the KIPAHULU VALLEY EXPEDI-
TION. Sponsored BY: THE NATURE CONSERVANCY. Edited By: Richard Ee
Warner, Ph. D. Expedition Leader." The 184 loose-leaf pages, meas-
uring 8 1/2 by 11 inches, are bound in a Manilla cover. There is a
panoramic photograph of the valley itself, eight of expedition mem-
bers, about 49 showing beautifully the type of vegetation, three
about the endemic "picture-winged" fruit flies, and four of close=-
ups of birds. In addition there are full-page maps of Kipahulu Val-
ley showing expedition trails and locations of the three base
camps; of soils; a topographic vegetation profile; and of vegetation
respectively of the lower, the central, and the upper part of the
valley
Kipahulu Valley extends from sea level to 7,350 feet, more or
less in a northwesterly direction, joinimg Haleakala National Park
at its eastern end hundreds of feet above Paliku Cabin. The two mile
wide valley funnels the trade winds. Its eight mile length is con-
fined by two very steep ridges clothed largely with tapestry for-
ests, here and there broken by shrubby ledges and some cliffs. The
floor consists largely of two nearly parallel, sloping flats, the
one about 700 feet higher than the other, especially toward the mid-
dle-makai end. This unusual geologic structure is explained by the
formation eons ago of a deeply eroded valley on Haleakala Volcano's
flank followed by a period of filling by lava flows. During quies-
cence of volcanic activity, one side of the partly filled valley was
then badly eroded by the forerunner of Kaukauai Stream. With a
fresh period of activity, this new valley within Kipahulu was part-
ly filled with veneers of lava. Thus the higher flat, contrary to
expectation, is much older than the lower one.
The lower reaches of the valley from a biotic standpoint are not
too interesting, being pasture overgrown with lemon guava and other
*As Spaniards were the first cowboys in the Hawaiian Islands, paniola
became the vernacular name for a man of this profession.

exotics. Nevertheless, geologically the area is locally interesting
and delightful with the stream forming a series of pools - seven
were "sacred" to the Hawaiians - of considerable fame but too pro-
fane for discussion in a botanical reviewo
The rest of the valley to the inversion layer at about 7,000
feet is a dense rainforest. Below a transition band between 3,000
and 4,000 feet, koa (Acacia) is the predominant tree; above, ohia
lehua (Metrosideros) predominates, giving way mauka as the terrain
becomes increasingly dry to such sclerophyllous shrubs as Dodonaea y
Railliardia, Styphelia and Vaccinium. The summit slope is crowned
with windy Flats of the endemic bunchgrass (Deschampsia hawaiiensis
f. haleakalensis (Skottsb.) Ste John (incorrectly identified as D.
nubigena) interspersed here and there with endemic bracken (Pterid-
jum aquilinum var. decompositum (Caud.) Tryon, Pellaea ternifolia

and the endemic Neurophyllodes tridens (Hillebr.) Deg. & GreenwWo
Though terrestrial shrubs and herbs as well as lianes and epi-
phytes abound between 3,000 and 6,000 feet, the warm rainfall of
perhaps 200 inches annually, augmented by abundant fog drip, stimu-
lates bacterial decay and dissolution. As a result, the water-dren-
ched soil is practically devoid of litter and exceptionally poor in
saprophytic fungi. Above 6,000 feet, with less rainfall and cooler
weather, the layer of litter can be two inches thick overlying
three inches of hunus. Saprophytic fungi are abundant, having avail-
able sustenance o

the rhizomes and young leaves, often destroying the colonies.
They also penetrate the higher stretches of cinder-covered ter-

ground rhizomes to the exclusion of other vascular plantse

(Rats: Though certainly not in the Islands previous to the com-
ing of the Polynesians in their huge double canoes, the Poly-
nesian rat (Rattus exulans var. hawaiiensis Ellerman) in the
eating of the orange, fleshy bracts and later of the sticky,
ripe inflorescences of the Freycinetia have certainly aided the
endemic crow (Corvus tropicus Gmelin) - now extinct except for
one bird in captivity and perhaps a dozen wild on the Island of
Hawaii - pollinate and later disseminate this liane.)
129 (The rediscovery of the Maui nukupuu bird (Hemignathus lucidus
var. affinis Rothschild) and the sighting of the Maui parrot-
bill (Pseudonestor xanthophrys Rothschild) is not only of im-
portance ornithologically, but of major importance botanicallyo
The first bird was last seen in 1896; and the second probably
in 1928, if we can believe the report of a sighting in neigh-
boring Kaupo Gap by a surveying party. Many drepaniid birds,
all endemic to the Archipelago, have evolved bills beautifully
curved to penetrate the curves of mints, lobelias of many gen=
era, and Camphusia for nectare According to W.E. Banko (Condor
930121. 197 le)» a member of the Expedition, “Preservation of
the ecological integrity of Haleakala's windward forest is
thus of paramount importance to the survival of at least three,
and possibly as many as six, Hawaiian birds."
PAGE
One of the main objectives of the expedition was "to prepare a re-
port of the findings for the Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Depart-
ment of Interior, including recommendations for acquisition, use, and
longterm conservation of the areao" The part about birds and picture-
winged Drosophila, we believe, will be arguments for politicians and
intelligent laymen alike to conserve the area under the wing of the
National Park Service. These are precisely the individuals who, with
contacts and funds, can best implement a project to a successful con-
clusione But the botanical part of the report is sorely disappoint-
ing and not of much help. No striking plant, like a striking bird,
was noted as threatened with extinction even though many, many kinds
belong in this category! It took Dr. Ste John only until April 1970
to describe and illustrate over a dozen novelties from the area (See
Pace Scie 2539-792 1971e) such ast Panicum lamiatile, Panicum lus-
triale, Peperomia kipahuluensis, Pelea anapanapaensis, Pelea clusii-

cens var. paludosa, Lagenophora viridis and Railliardia demissi-
folia var. dolichophylla. Further botanical exploration will] un-
doubtedly uncover many more plants new to Science.
Had the importance of plants been stressed as much as of birds and
insects, would not the report have been more effective? According to
a local newspaper article dated April 3, 1971, " - - - the Nature Con-
servancy in three years raised $1e2 million to buy 4,000 acres in

Jackson (1893) credits a "Callicarpa arborea Wall." to "Wall.
Cat. n. 1826, partim" and reduces it to synonymy under C. vestita
Wall. Actually, Wallich proposed no such homonym. In the refer-
ence cited he plainly accredits C. arborea to Roxburgh, citing 7
specimens for what he regarded as the typical form of the species,
and then proposes a variety which he designated "@ vestita". It
is certainly the latter taxon to which Jackson refers.

Merrill's original (1919) description of this species is as
follows: "A shrub, the branchlets, petioles, inflorescences, and
lower surface of the leaves densely and uniformly cinereous-
stellate-pubescent, the indumentum covering the entire surface.
Branches terete, pale brownish, glabrous. Leaves elliptic to ob-
long-elliptic, subcoriaceous, 5 to 8 cm long, 2.5 to cm wide,
the apex rounded, obtuse, or sometimes subacute, base usually ob-
tuse, margins entire below, in the upper part distinctly denticu-
late, the upper surface brownish-olivaceous, glabrous or when
young stellate-pubescent along the midrib; lateral nerves 5 to 7
on each side of the midrib, curved, distinct as are the primary
reticulations; petioles 5 to 10 m long. Cymes axillary, pe-
duncled, dichotomous, up to 2.5 cm wide, the peduncles about 1.5
em long; bracts linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 2 to 2.5 mm long;
pedicels 0.5 mm long or less. Flowers rather crowded, pink.
Calyx cup-shaped to obconic, about 1.6 m long, densely stellate-
pubescent, the teeth 4, short. Corolla glabrous, 2.5 mm long,
the lobes equal, orbicular-ovate, rounded,: nearly 1 m in diam-
eter. Filaments and style 5 to 6 m long. Fruit globose, dark-
brown and rugose when dry, about 2 mm in diameter."
The type was collected by Maximo Ramos [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci.
32921] at Burgos, in Ilcos Norte Province, Luzon, Philippine Is-
378 Poesy FO LOnGrk & Vol. 21, no. 6
lands, on July 27, 1918, growing in dry thickets at low altitudes,
and was deposited in the herbarium of the Philippine Bureau of
Science at Manila, now lamentably destroyed. Merrill (1919) re-
cords the vernacular name "anayop" and notes that "The alliance
of this species is manifestly with Callicarpa blancoi Rolfe, from
which it is especially distinguished by its elliptic to oblong-
elliptic, usually rounded or obtuse, never acuminate leaves."
The species is known thus far only from the original collec-
tion.

Merrill's original (1918) description of this species is:
"Frutex ad 3 m. altus, subglaber, ramulis junioribus parcissime
et decidue stellato-pubescentibus; foliis brevissime petiolatis,
anguste lanceolatis, usque ad 12 cm. longis et 1.5 cm. latis,

mm. longis; fructibus globosis, 3 ad 3.5 mm. diametro, glabris,
calycis persistentibus, glabris, truncatis. A slender shrub, 2
to 3m. high, in age glabrous or nearly so, the young branchlets
sparingly stellate-pubescent. Branches slender, terete, smooth,
glabrous, grayish. Leaves narrowly lanceolate, chartaceous, 6
to 12 cm. long, 0.8 to 1.5 cm. wide, narrowed at both ends, the
upper surface glabrous, smooth, eglandular, brownish-olivaceous,
shining, the lower surface slightly paler, distinctly pitted-
glandular, glabrous, or when young sparingly stellate-pubescent
near the midrib, the base cuneate, the apex rather slenderly but
bluntly acuminate, the margins on the upper two-thirds distinct-
ly serrulate; lateral nerves 7 to 9 on each side of the midrib,
slender, curved-ascending, anastomosing, the reticulations slen-
der, not prominent; petioles 2 mm. long or less. Cymes axillary,
few, subsessile or shortly peduncled, depauperate, 2- or 3-
flowered, the peduncles 2 mm. long or less, the pedicels not ex-
ceeding mm. in length, glabrous. Fruit globose or subglobose,
dark-brown when dry, 3 to 3.5 mm. in diameter, glabrous, the per-
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 379
sistent calyx truncate, giabrous."
The type of the species was collected by Elmer Drew Merrill
(no. 11060) in thickets along small streams, at an altitude of a-
bout 900 meters, Loh Fau Mountain (Lofaushan), Kwangtung, China,
on August 23, 1917, and was deposited in the herbarium of the
Philippine Bureau of Science at Manila, now destroyed. The col-
lector notes that the species is “rare, but a single plant seen.
The alliance of this species is manifestly with the form common-
ly known as Callicarpa purpurea Juss., but which should be known
as C. dichotoma (Lour.) Raeusch. It differs in its relatively
much narrower leaves, and depauperate, subsessile, very few-—
flowered cymes."
Immature green fruit was collected in August. Bakhuizen van
den Brink (1921) reduces the species to synonymy under what he
calls C. japonica var. dichotoma (Lour.) Bakh. Chang (1951)
cites only the original collection and compares it with both C.
dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch and with C. brevipes (Benth.) Hance.
The Tsang 21346, distributed as C. oligantha, is actually C.
japonica var. angustata Rehd.
In all, 2 herbarium specimens, including the type, and 2 moun-
ted photographs of C. oligantha have been examined by me.

Previous to receiving good material of this taxon and of the
so-called C. iriomotensis Masam. and C. okinawensis Nakai from my
380 Pn Y/TO TeOueerys Vol. 21, no. 6
esteemed friend and colleague, Dr. E. H. Walker, I had tentative-
ly regarded them as 3 distinct and valid species. Now, however,
I feel that Hatusima (1959) is amply justified in reducing them
to a single species with two varieties. He says "Above three
forms of C. oshimensis which are distinguished as the following
analytical key are not different in their essential characters,
such as size of cymes, flowers and fruits, and the indumentum of
branchlets and leaves, though size of leaves and cymes as well as
the serration of leaves are considerably variable. Therefore, it
seems advisable to reduce the above two forms from Okinawa and
Yaeyama to the varietal rank, as the distinguishing characters
mentioned above are very variable as in the other species of Cal-
licarpa." He distinguishes the 3 taxa as follows: iw
1. Leaf-blades regularly rhombic-ovate, 2--7 cm. long, acuminate
at the apex, sharply and regularly coarse-serrate along the
margins, cuneate at the base; cymes 1-~-3 cm. longesscrccesees
C. oshimensis.
la. Leaf-blades rarely rhombic-ovate, often with shorter acumens
and smaller, denser, and irregular serration.
Qe Leaf-blades ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 2--),.5 cm. long, with
smaller and denser serration; cymes usually less than 1 cm.

3--10 cm. long, with larger and coarser serration; cymes
usually more than 1 cm. LONg..ccccccccccccccccccccccrcsccce
C. oshimensis var. iriomotensis.
Masamune (1955) records the vernacular name "osimarurasaki"
for C. oshimensis and gives its distribution as "Amami-osima (leg.
Igoma) et (leg. Tasiro in G. Herb. Formos. n. 27877); Okinawa:
Kunigami; Iheyazima; Iriomote?. Distr. Endanic." Hatusima (1959)
gives the distribution of the typical form as only Amami-oshima
and Tokunoshima Islands in the Ryukyu Archipelago.
Wilson found the plant fruiting in February. Material has
been misidentified and distributed in herbaria as C. shikokiana
Mak. On the other hand, the Gressitt 532 & 563, 1té s.n. [23. Va
1936], and Kawagoe s.n. [July 27, 1919], distributed as as typical
C. oshimensis, are actually var. iriomotensis (Masam.) Hatus.
In all, 3 herbariun specimens and 2 mounted photographs of the
type collection of C. oshimensis have been examined by me.

For a statement on how this variety differs from the typical
form of the species, see under C. oshimensis in this series of
notes. Recent collectors describe the plant as a bush or shrub,
1.8--6 m. tall, the stems 1.5--2 cm. in diameter, the branches
spreading horizontally, and the (immature) fruit green or pale-
green and moderately small. The corollas are described as "pink"
on Hatusima 18600.
The variety has been collected in the shade of large trees,
in forests, at the edges of fringing forests, and in wet gulch
bottoms in dense low scrubby forests, at altitudes of 12--200 n.,
flowering in May and June, and fruiting in June, August, and No-
vember. Fosberg says that it is "occasional in undergrowth on
broad or high densely wooded ridges", while Hatusima refers to it
as a "common shrub" on Iriomote. Masamune (1955) says that it is
endemic to Isjigaki, Iriomote, and Yonaguni in the Sakashima
group of the Ryukyu Island Archipelago and records the vernacular
name "Iriomote-murasaki-sikibu". Hatusima (1959) lists it only
from Iriomote and Ishigaki.
Material of this taxon has been misidentified and distributed
in herbaria under the names C. japonica Thunb., C. okinawensis
Nakai, and C. oshimensis Hayata. On the other hand, the Hatusima
18577 & 24357, distributed as var. iriomotensis, are actually var.
okinawensis (Nakai) Hatus.
In all, 18 herbarium specimens of var. iriomotensis have been
examined by me.

The characters by which this variety is distinguished from C.
oshimensis Hayata and C. oshimensis var. iriomotensis (Masam.)
Hatus. are enumerated in my discussion of C. oshimensis in this
present series of notes. Nakai (1928), Masamune (1955), and
Hatusima (1959) all agree that the variety is endemic to Okinawa.
Masamune records the vernacular name “kogomemurasaki" and cites
Masamune & Simabukuro s.n. [Yonawadake, Aug. 6, 1934]. He says
that the "C. mollis Sieb. & Zucc." of Matsumura (1899), Kuroiwa
(1900), E. H. Wilson (1920), Matsumura (1912), and Sakaguchi
(192), insofar as they refer to Ryukyu Islands specimens, is ac-
tually C. oshimensis var. okinawensis. The C. mollis accredited
to Koorders and referred to in the synonymy above, is actually a
synonym of C. caudata Maxim., that credited to Shirasawa is xC.
shirasawana Mak., and that of Requien and of Willdenow is C.
acuminata H.B.K., while that of Siebold & Zuccarini is a valid
species.
Recent collectors describe this plant as a shrub, 2m. tall,
growing in the shade of trees, along forest paths, in small
clearings, and at the edges of low spinnies, at 100--200 m. alti-
tude, flowering in May, and fruiting in July. On Yonakuni Island
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 383
it is said by Hatusima to be "frequent in mountain thickets", but
on Iriomote he reports it as "a rare shrub". The corollas are
described as "pink" on Hatusima 180).
Material of this variety has been misidentified and distribu-
ted in herbaria under the names C. oshimensis Hayata, C. oshimen-
sis var. iriomotensis (Masam.) Hatus., and Cc. ohshimensis var.
iriomotensis (Masam.) Hatus. On the other hand, the Koidzumi s.
n. {1—20.VI1.1923], distributed as var. oxtinrensts. is actually
a mixture with var. iriomotensis.
In all, 16 herbarium specimens and 1 mounted photograph of var.
okinawensis have been examined by me.

The original description of this species (1928) reads as fol-
lows in the English version: "A shrub about 3 m high; the thicken-
ed branchlets and the lower surface of the leaves densely fulvo-
tomentose with rather soft plumose and stellate hairs; branches
terete or somewhat compressed at the nodes, pale grayish. Leaves
chartaceous to subcoriaceous, broadly oblong-elliptic, 27 to 39 cm
long, 1) to 21 cm wide, undulate-dentate, apex acutely acuminate,
base acute, the upper surface olivaceous, glabrous, smooth, shin-
ing, the Lower surface pale, somewhat yellowish, not at all glan-
dular, very densely stellate-plumose-pubescent; lateral nerves a-
bout 10 on each side of the midrib, very prominent, the reticula-
tions distinct; petioles densely tomentose, somewhat angled, 4 to
6 cm long. Cymes axillary, many-flowered, * dichotomous, very
densely tomentose, pedunculate, 6 to 8 cm long, 5 to 10 cm wide.
Flowers crowded, their pedicels 0.5 to 1 mm long; calyx membrana-
ceous, cup-shaped, shortly l-lobed, tomentose, about 1.75 mm long;
corolla h-lobed, 3 to 3.5 mm long, 2.5 to 3 mm in diameter, the
lobes 1.25 to 1 5 mm long, about 1 mm wide, oblong-ovate, obtuse.
Stamens , exserted, the filaments to 4.5 om long; anthers ob-
38h PHYTO LO-GE fk Vol. 21, no. 6
long, 1.25 to 1. mm long. Fruit globose, glabrous, 2 to 2.5 mm
in diameter, surrounded at the base by the densely fulvo—tomentose
calyx; bracts densely fulvo-tomentose, linear, up to 15 mm long,
the bracteoles much shorter."
The type of the species was collected by Maximo Ramos and Gre-
at an altitude of about 1600 meters on Mount Alzapan, in Nueva
Vizcaya Province, Luzon, Philippine Islands, on May 2), 1925, and
was deposited in the herbarium of the Philippine Bureau of Sci-
ence but is now destroyed.
Quisumbing & Merrill comment that this is "A species most
closely allied to Callicarpa magnifolia Merrill, but with broadly
oblong-elliptic, somewhat larger leaves, the margins undulate-
dentate and the base acute."
Recent collectors describe the plant as 3m. tall, the stems
10 cm. in diameter, the (immature) fruit green, flowering and
fruiting in May, growing in mossy forests at an altitude of 1600
meters. The corollas on the type collection are described as
"violet", but those on Kjellberg 1763 are said to have been
white.
Material of this species has been misidentified and distribu-
ted in herbaria under the names C. pentandra var. cumingiana f.
pentamera (H. J. Lam) Bakh., C. pentandra f. pubescens Bakh., and
C. pentandra var. typica f. hexandra Bakh.
In all, 9 herbarium specimens, including the type collection,
and 2 mounted photographs of C. pachyclada have been examined by
me.

Hooker & Arnott's original (1838) description of this species
is "foliis coriaceis obovatis obtusissimis breve petiolatis laev-
iter crenatis supra adultis glabris subtus dense cano-tomentosis
reticulatim venosis, pedunculis petiolum aequantibus, floribus
capitato-cymosis. Leaves an inch and a half long; the younger
ones inclining to rust-colour beneath. The peduncles and peti-
oles are densely stellato-tomentose, like the under side of the
foliage."
Standley (192) keys out the species of Callicarpa known to him
from Mexico as follows:
1. Leaf-blades obovate, very obtuse at the apex....C. parvifolia.
la. Leaf-blades lanceolate to ovate, acute or acuminate at the
apex.
2. Leaves persistently but minutely stellate-pubescent on the
UPPET SUPLACE..eeeececcecccecssececossccceseece acuminata.
2a. Leaves glabrous on the upper surface except when very young.
3. Leaves densely stellate-tomentose beneath.....C. pringlei.
3a. Leaves sparsely stellate-tomentose beneath..ceccwcsseesee
C. subpubescens.
It should be noted, however, that C. subpubescens Hook. & Arn.
has since Standley's work been proved not to grow at all in Mexi-
co, but to be endemic to the Bonin Islands instead. Now it ap-
pears that C. parvifolia does not occur in Mexico either. Dr.
S. Hatusima, in a letter to me dated January 18, 1971, states "I
am now studying the real status of Callicarpa parvifolia Hook. &
Arn. described as from Mexico and [am] inclined to believe from
the original description of this species and the following answer
from Dr. R. M. Harley of the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, to whom I
sent a leaf of C. nishimurae Koidz. irom the Bonins for comparison
with the type of C. parvifolia Hook. et Arn. that C. parvifolia
Hook. et Arn. is not from Mexico but from the Bonins. 'I have now
examined the leaf of Callicarpa nishimurae Koidz. with those of
the type of C. parvifolia Hook. et Arn. The similarity between
the two is very striking, and the texture of the indumentum on
the leaf undersurface appears identical, when viewed under a dis-
secting microscope. There thus seems little doubt that, as you
suggest, the type was collected in the Bonins, and not in Mexico.
In our indetermined cover, we had a sterile specimen of C. parvi-
folia collected in the 1930s from the Bonins, and this also agreed
closely with the type....'"
The original description of C. nishimurae by Koidzumi (1918)
is as follows: "Ad C. paucinervia Merrill remote affinis, foliis
crassioribus coriaceis ellipticis utrinque rotundatis supra pilis
diutius persistentibus subtus indumento luteo-brunneo; calycis
dentibus longis acutisque differt. Arbuscula? ramis vetustiori-

ibus brevissime pedicellatis. Calyx glaber acute l-denticulatus

Distr. Bonini insl. Chichishima (leg. S. Nishimura! no. 72, Aug.
15, 1917. This species is named in compliment to Mr. S. Nishimura
who collected the plant."
Hara (1948) cites as an illustration of this species a "f.
288 (1938)", but unfortunately gives the name of the publication
and its author only in Japanese characters.
It appears, thus, that all previous writers, including myself,
have been in error in ascribing C. parvifolia to Mexico. The orig-
inal inscription to this effect on the type sheet at Kew was ap—
parently an error in transcription, as it was in the case of C.
subpubescens. Since Standley did his work on the trees and shrubs
of Mexico, then, Mexico has "lost" two species of beautyberry,
but it has also gained one he did not know about -- Cf. americana
L., which occurs in Coahuila. me
In all, 3 herbarium specimens, including the type, and 2 moun-
ted photographs of C. parvifolia have been examined by me.

FOUR NEW SPECIES OF MOSSES FROM PERU
Harold Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560
A number of undescribed species have been found in various
small collections of Peruvian bryophytes sent for determination
by A. Sagastegui and F. Ayala of Trujillo, and Dana Griffin III
of Florida. Three of these species are described here and a
fourth is described from misdetermined material obtained on loan
from New York. These species all reflect the need for further
work with the bryophytes of Peru. I have come to believe that
Peru has more undescribed species and more unrecognized range
extensions at this time than any other country in South America.
I have already added two new species to the flora in recent
years (Robinson, 1967), and one species has been described by
Crum (1967). The new species are from various parts of Peru,
but a number, including Barbula malagana Crum, are from the
coastal region which I intend to dicuss more fully in another
paper. It is sufficient to point out here that this coastal
area and the "lomas" found there seem to have an unusually high
percentage of endemic bryophyte species.
Trichostomum marginatum H.Robinson, sp. nov. (Fig. 1-4).
Planta dioica?, dense caespitosa pallide viridis, inferne
sordida. Caules ca. 1 cm longi simplices vel parce ramosi.
Folia caulina erecta laxe disposita, siccitate superne valde
circinata, linearia ca. 3 mm longa, in apicibus cylindricis
attenuata, margine integra vel minute subcrenulata erecta
bi- tristratosa; nervis prope basin 80, latis, ad extremum
subulatis indistincte; cellulis basilaribus angustis elongatis
8-10, latis ad 70, longis laevibus pellucidis, mediis et
superioribus quadratis vel transverse elongatis 13, longis
7-13, longis minute multi-papillosis. Folia perichaetialia
arcte convoluta. Calyptrae cucullatae. Setae erectae ca. 2 cm
longae rufescentes. Capsulae erectae anguste ovales inopercul-
atae 1.5 mm longae laevissimae rufescentes; operculis longe
conicis 0.7-1.0 mm longis; dentibus pallidis uniseriatis fili-
formibus erectis dense papillosis ad 300, longis. Sporae
ovales 10-12, diam. asperulae.
Peru. Dept. Huanuco: Mufia, on shaded bank about 7000 ft.,
George S. Bryan 507a (NY, holotype).
The species is distinguished from others of the genus
Trichostomum by the thickened margin. The margins of the leaves
are actually erect to incurved but might seem slightly recurved
because of the thickening. For this reason the species might be
389
390 PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 6
compared with Trichostomopsis (Robinson, 1970) which, however,
has only one stereid band in the costa. The type specimen of
Trichostomum marginatum was originally determined as a member of
the genus Barbula subgenus Asteriscium (= Trichostomopsis).
Tortula acletoi H.Robinson, sp. nov. (Fig. 5-7).
Planta dioica?, laxe caespitosa pallide viridis. Caules
2-5 mm longi simplices vel parce ramosi. Folia caulina erecto-
patentia, siccitate valde contorta, oblonga 2.0-3.5 mm longa ad
1.0 mm lata late acuta saepe breve apiculata, margine argute
serrulata erecta unistratosa; nervis prope besin ca. 80. latis
percurrentis; cellulis basilaribus elongatis ca. 25, latis
50-100, longis laevis pellucidis, margine 5-6 seriebus angust-
issimis; cellulis mediis et superioribus quadratis vel sexangul-
aribus 15-20, diam. multipapillosis; cellulis marginalibus fere
usque ad apicem in 1-2 seriebus linearibus 5-10, latis 50-100,
longis. Folia perichaetialia vix differentia aliquantum
convoluta. Calyptrae cucullatae. Setae erectae 10-12 mm longae
flavae vel rufescentes. Capsulae erectae cylindricae, 3.0-3.5
mm longae sine operculis, laeves rufescentes; operculis longe
conicis ca. 1.5 mm longis; dentibus filiformibus spiralibus ad
1.5 mm longis, inferne coalitis. Sporae ovales 8-10, diam.
Peru. Dept. Lima: Prov. Canta, Huascoy, alt. 2800 m,
Borde de terreno de cultivo, Cesar Acleto 1468 (US, holotype).
The new species seems very close to Tortula denticulata
(Wils.) Mitt., but the latter is distinct by the lack of papillae
on the leaf cells and by minor differences in the serrulation.
Few other species in the genus have a serrulate margin with
elongate cells.

The new species is very close to the recently described
Syrrhopodon brevisetus Florsch. of Suriname. Most characters
such as the occasional paired marginal cilia, cancellinae acute
above, and both surfaces of the costa strongly spinose-papillose,
are found in both species. Still, there is a distinct difference
in the upper leaf cells which are subquadrate and 6-8, in diam-
eter in S. griffinii versus elongate and 18x10, in S. brevisetus.

The new species resembles some of the common members of
Macromitrium, but it is rather distinct in the slightly more
robust habit and the slightly but distinctly hairy calyptra. The
basal leaf cells never seem to have as many papillae though this
character is variable in some related species. The habit and
most of the described features of M. lomasense are like the
common M. punctatum (Hook. & Grev.) Brid., but the latter has
1971 Robinson, Mosses from Peru 393
longer basal leaf cells. A number of species such as M. atro-
viride Williams, M. cylindricum Mitt. and M. sublaeve Mitt. seem
similar to M. lomasense on the basis of descriptions, but they
are smaller plants with either more glabrous or more prominently
hairy calyptrae.
The species is apparently widely distributed in the Lomas
along the coast of Peru.

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (ASTERACEAE). XXXVIII.
A NEW GENUS, PETERAVENIA.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
Five Eupatorian species from Mexico and Central America
represent a distinctive previously unnamed genus having decid-
uous pappus setae, discolored phyllaries, and cordate leaves.
The pappus setae alone are sufficient to distinguish the genus,
being very narrow at the base and noncontiguous but enlarged
at the tip. The genus is Critonioid in its smooth corolla
lobes and its usualysimple style base. One feature that is
more reminiscent of Ageratina, however, is the usually high
placement of the embryo in the achene.
We take great pleasure in naming this new genus in honor
of our good friend and colleague, Dr. Peter H. Raven of Stanford
University. Although the Asteraceae is not his main speciality,
his contributions to our knowledge of the family are very
significant.

A NEW GENUS, EUPATORINA.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
The genus Eupatorina is distinguished from most other genera
of the Eupatorieae by the greatly dissected opposite leaves.
The single known species is calcicolous and endemic to the island
of Hispaniola. The nonpapillose corolla, inornate style base and
the rather clavate stylar appendages indicate that the genus is
Critonioid. The closest relative seems to be the monotypic genus
Antillia (King & Robinson, 1971) of Cuba. The latter genus has
oblanceolate undissected leaves, scapose inflorescence, and a
short pappus of deeply laciniate scales, Eupatorina seems very
reduced in certain features such as the venation of the corolla
which does not extend into the lobes, Such a condition is found
in very few other species of Eupatorieae.

A NEW GENUS, ANTILLIA.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
The present monotypic genus represents one of the most
distinct endemic Eupatorian elements in the West Indies. The
habit is very reminiscent of the Eupatorian genus Ciceronia or
even the Mutisian genus Chaptalia with clustered oblanceolate
leaves and long scapose inflorescences. Ciceronia clearly
differs from Antillia by the reduced anther appendages, the
campanulate corollas, the setose pappus and the lack of minute
punctations in the walls of the achene. The closest relative
of Antillia seems to be the monotypic genus, Eupatorina (King
& Robinson, 1971) of the Dominican Republic. Eupatorina
differs most obviously by the setose pappus, the non scapose
habit, the bipinnately dissected leaves, and the lower insertion
of the anther filaments. Antillia and Eupatorina are most alike
in the structure of their achenes including the carpopodia but
have many subtle differences in the shape and pubescence of the
corolla and form of the anther. The relationship might not be
appreciated but for the geographic proximity.
In view of the structure of the pappus in Antillia, it is
remarkable that B.L.Robinson placed the species in Eupatorium.
It indicates that as early as 1916, B.L.Robinson had obtained
considerable contempt for the genus concepts in the Eupatorieae.

THE GENUS, RADLKOFEROTOMA.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
The genus Carelia Lessing described from southern Brazil
in 1832 represents one of the most distinctive elements in the
tribe Eupatorieae. For many years the genus remained monotypic,
but additional specimens have been collected from both Rio
Grande do Sul in Brazil and from Uruguay, and two additional
species have been described in this century. The genus has
recently been summarized by Cabrera (1957) with a key and desc-
riptions.
The present effort has two functions, first to describe
some of the microscopic features of the genus, and second to
establish the use of the name Radlkoferotoma Kuntze which was
provided for the genus in 1891. As noted by Kuntze, Carelia
Lessing is a later homonym, and conservation does not seem
likely. There are actually two earlier uses of the name, both
in the Eupatorieae, Carelia G. Pondedera ex P.C.Fabricius which
equals Ageratum and Carelia A.L.Jussieu ex Cavanilles which
equals Mikania. The use of the name Carelia for Ageratum is
common in earlier literature and retention of the name in the
sense of Lessing is needlessly confusing as well as illegal.
Radlkoferotoma Kuntze, Rev. Gen. 358. 1891.
Erect branching shrubs or small trees. Leaves always op-
posite, distinctly petioled, blades ovate to elliptical, serru-
late. Inflorescence a corymb. Imnvolucre of ca 35 oblong to

without distinct hairs; 35-70 flowers per head, corollas tubular,
5-lobed, outer surface with occasional short stalked glands,
stomates absent, lobes slightly longer than wide, inner surface
of corolla glabrous, veins of corolla strong; anther collar
stout, composed of mostly quadrate cells walls with beaded thick-
enings. Anther appendage large, blunt or slightly cleft, com-
posed of elongate cells; style base without enlarged node, glab-
rous, stylar appendages only slightly enlarged near the tip,
densely covered with stout erect papillae. Achenes obpyramid-
ical, 4-5 ribbed, setiferous, carpopodia short to rather elong-
ate with thin-walled quadrate cells; pappus a single series of
large truncate scales.

STUDIES IN THE EUPATORIEAE (ASTERACEAE). XLV.
A NEW GENUS, FLEISCHMANNIOPSIS.
R. M. King and H. Robinson
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.
Among the Mexican and Central American species superficially
resembling Critonia, are three that are very distinct ina
number of characters including their pappus and carpopodia. We
apply the name Fleischmanniopsis to these species because of the
marked resemblance of parts of the achene and corollas to those
of Fleischmannia. The very distinct tapering, strongly rimmed
carpopodia with thick walled cells are exactly like those found
otherwise only in the genus Fleischmannia. The entirely slender
usually slightly seperated pappus setae are also alike in the
two genera. The similarity in overall shape of the corolla
further indicates the possibility of relationship. At this time,
however, the question of relationship of Fleischmannia remains
unresolved.
Some features of Fleischmanniopsis are certain at this time.
The resemblance to Critonia is supported by such Critonioid
features as smooth corolla lobes and a glabrous unenlarged style
base. The genus is distinct from Critonia by the form of the
carpopodium with its thick walled cells, by the slender pappus
setae, by the veins of the corolla not reaching into the lobes,
and by the reduced anther appendage. The genus is even more
distinct from Fleischmannia by its smooth corolla lobes,
short corolla veins, reduced anther appendages, less papillose
style branches with clavate tips, fewer flowers per head and
more imbricate phyllaries. Even the anther collars show some
shorter more quadrate cells toward the base unlike the condition
in Fleischmannia.
The short veins of the corollas of Fleischmanniopsis reach
only to the sinusas between the lobes. This seems to:be a
reduced condition that is made possible by the small size of
the flowers. Another genus showing this type of veination is
Eupatorina (King & Robinson, 1971) of Hispaniola. There seems
to be no close relationship between the genera.

flower and fruit).
The affinities of Acanthodesmos are not at all clear. When
first discovered the plant was thought to belong to Mutisieae
and to be related to Anastraphia or Gochnatia, but the nature of
the pappus and the presence of receptacle-scales is not consist-
ent with that identification. Another feature suggesting Mutis-
ieae, besides the caudate anther-bases and short style-arms, was
the apparent unequal lobing of the corolla, but the corolla-
lobes only sometimes adhere and are not in’ fact unequally
connate.
The decision to place this new gems in Vernonieae was made
after an assessment of the pappus-scales, the shape and colour
of the corolla and the glands on it, the pollen, the pointed
tips of the style-arms and the indumentum of the stems and
leaves. In the description, the capitula are treated as simple,
but it is possible to interpret the flower-head of Acanthodesmos
@s a@ compound one in which all traces of the involucres of the
first order have been lost. ‘Such an interpretation would place
the new gems in Lychnophoreae, perhaps close to Rolandra and
Spiracantha, genera represented in our area and sharing some
vegetative features with our new plant.
The unique nodal spines are obviously vestigial outer inv-
olucral bracts. The connections across the node fram the base
of the outer spine to the opposed leaf=-base provide the inspir-
ation for the new name. If these spines are the homologues of
the outer phyllaries of compound heads, they may belong to a
morphic series at a level closer to true leaves and this expl-
ain their persistence at nodes, presumably on reduced branches.
The gems also has some characters which are suggestive of
cynarioid and imloid affinities.
The salina thicket in which this plant occurs is typical of
the microphyllous woody vegetation which occurs widely in the
arid parts of southern Jamaica; the poor drainage and high sal-
inity of the clay soils of the salina-margins favour these
species which were found associated with Acanthodesmos:- the

SOPHORA IN HAWAII
Otto # Isa Degener
A letter from Dr. Ronald Melville of Kew, dated January 13,
1971, regarding the present status of the endemic Sophorae of
the Hawaiian Archipelago, induced us to write the present article.
Hillebrand's Flora of the Hawaiian Islands, published posthu-
mously in 1888, on page 108 describes a single endemic species of
Sophora, namely Se chrysophylla (Salisbe) Seem., for the Hawaiian
Archipelago. He locates the species on “Hawaii! Maui! Kauail" The
writers, and some other local botanists, know the genus from the Is-
lands of Oahu, Molokai and Lanai as well. Mr. Alvin Ke Chock, as a
thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the
degree of Master of Science in Botany at the University of Hawaii,
published the results of his two year study of Hawaii Sophorae in
Pacific Science 10:136-158 in 1956. The Degener collection deposit=
ed at the Field Museum was mailed him in January 1954 to aid him in
his studieso
Counting such names as Sophora chrysophylla (Salisb.) Seeme, and
Sophora chrysophylla ssp. glabrata var. ovata subvar. ovata f. mauna-
keaensis Chock, the monographer recognizes as valid for the Archipel-
ago 1 species, 4 subspecies, 1] varieties, 5 subvarieties and 12
forms. We are less conservative and judge the Islands to harbor more
than one species, such as Sophora grisea Deg. & Sherff (in Sherff,
Bot. Leafl. 5:24. 1951.) and S. unifoliata (Rock) Deg. & Sherff (ibid.
Po 25), as well as one each from the Islands of Lanai and Molokai. We
believe, also, the monographer should have considered character of
legume of greater taxonomic importancee We consequently here are
changing to different taxonomic ranks:
1. SOPHORA LANAIENSIS (Chock) Deg. & Dege
Sophora chrysophylla sensu Rock, Indig. Trees Haw. Isl. 189. 1913.
"A few small trees were found on Lanai just above the homestead of
the former manager of the Lanai Ranch Coe, in a small gulch all by
themselves. Whether they were planted there by human hand or by
birds cannot be ascertained, but the former may be more reasonable,
as they were not found elsewhere on Lanai."

Sophora lanaiensis (Chock) Deg. & Dege
1971 O. & I. Degener, Sophora in Hawaii 413
Symmetrically round lacy tree with many branches arising from
short erect trunk and bearing numerous long slender twigs longi-
tudinally sulcate and during first year antrorsely appressed-golden-
strigose. Leaves commonly with 7 - 10 mm. long petiole and 50 - 80
mme long rachis both deeply narrowly grooved above and golden-stri-
gose; leaflets about 13, opposite to alternate, the smallest below
and the largest above on leaf, 10 - 30 mm. long, 4 - 11 Mme wide,
oblong-oblanceolate, cuneate to minutely abruptly rounded to petio=-
lule 1 mm. long or less, broadly rounded to somewhat truncate and
emarginate with usually faint mucro at apex, golden-strigose especi-
ally beneath. Flowers up to 7 or even 9 per 5 = 10 mme long inflo-
rescence, on 10 mme long pedicels having 1 mm. long incurved boat-=
shaped subulate bract at base. Calyx 8 mm. long from base to shal-
lowly 5-dentate limb, with single 3 mm. deep sinus, strigose-pubes-
cent without, glabrous within. Corolla: standard 26 mm. long, 9 mme
wide, the ovate-elliptic limb at apex somewhat obtuse and barely re-
tuse; wings with 4 mm. long claw and 18 mm. long 5 mm. wide limb hav-
ing obliquely truncate base and somewhat rounded apex; keel petals
with claw 4 mm. long but blade 24 mm. long and 6 mme wide, connate
for 10 mm. near middle of lower margin, with acuminate apexe Sta-
mens ahout 20 mm. long, abruptly dilated at base, glabrous. Pistil
25 mme long, terete, strigose-pubescent except for thinner anterior
fifth. Legume dark brown, somewhat glossy, straight, indehiscent,
commonly 60 - 100 mm. long, with slightly curved 5 - 15 mm. long
caudate apex; sterile basal part 5 - 20 mm. long, golden-strigose;
fertile part more or less moniliform with 5 = 9 one-seeded seg-
ments 7 - 10 mm. long, 6 - 8 mm. wide, about 4 mm. thick, glabrate
to somewhat strigose-pubescent, with 2 rows of 2 = 3 mm. separated
rough 1 mm. high wings bordering narrow sides of pod, wings less
prominent between seed-bearing areas; in case no seed develops the
area remains sublineare Seeds yellowish brown, smooth, glossy,
thick, elliptic-globose, 5 - 6 mm. long, 3 mm. thick, hardly com-
pressed.
The type, deposited in the Marie C. Neal Herbarium of the Bernice
P. Rishop Museum, was collected by Rock "On the plateau leeward side,
near Koele, back of Gibson [Walter Murray Gibson, 1822-1888) Home=
stead, flowering and fruiting July 29, 1910.George Campbell Munro
(May 10, 1866 - Dec. 4, 1963), who was manager of most of the Island
of Lanai for many years and saved much of its endemic vegetation
from herbivores, wrote voluminous notes concerning Lanai plants
about 1927. From a transcription we took a few years before his
death, we find: "Sophora chrysophylla glabra, Rock. Native name ma-
mane. Not common, found most commonly on the Kaluanui bench, one
plant at Kanepuu from which a number are now growing.e™ Chock cites
a plant collected by Munro April 16, 1919, deposited in the Bishop
Museum and in NY, from Kalyanui. In a letter to us of July 25, 1957,
Mr. Munro wrote us expressly that Se chrysophylla and the vare gla-
brata grew on Lanai. In fact, regarding the latter, "Rock described
this. I did not see it." Munro collected 950 Lanai specimens of
ferns and flowering plants, which C.N. Forbes determined. A set
lh PHYTOLOGIA Vol. 21, no. 6
went to the Bishop Museum; another to the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Ex-
periment Station; and the rarest (letter of Oct. 14, 1950) to the
"British Museum, Sydney, Australia."
Thanks to the courtesy of the Dole (Pineapple) Company which rent-
ed us a cottage, we resided in 1963-64 for about six months on Lanai
to botanize. During this lengthy stay, we discovered just mauka of
the pineapple fields presumably the last stand of Sophora lanaiensisy
beautifully rounded, bright green, lacy trees. About 75 herbarium
specimens from this colony are being widely distributed under the fol-
lowing label: "Deg. & Deg. 31,383. Almost extinct! (4 thriving,
spreading, 3m. high trees with many branches arising from low trunks
prolific seeder but not a single seedling because of thick mat of
Melinis grass; petals canary yellow; filaments whitish; anthers yel-
low; pistil greenish yellow.) Kaluanui Bench, Lanai. Decadent, dry-
ish forest with deer browse line. Jane 24, 1964." Today, with Lanai
practically a hunting preserve stocked with feral goat, axis deer,
mouflon and pronghorn, we surmise the four trees are no moree At
least voucher specimens exist to show how beautiful a creation this
species had been. The above description is based on No. 31,383,
healthy trees with 5 - 9 seeds per legume; very rarely, perhaps due
to faulty pollination, down to only one. Chock's description gives
"the pod 1 - 5 seeded".
2. SOPHORA MOLOKAIENSIS spe nove, nome nude
June 1, 1961, with Mr. Noah Pekelo, Jre, we drove to Maunahui, Mo-
lokai, and from there took a foresters’ jeep road makai eastward to
the lower edge of the rainforest. Here we discovered a rather gnarl-
ed, ugly mamane new to Science. We collected abundant material and,
Since Mr. Chock had published on the genus, turned over all our speci=
mens to him. We intended to publish jointly, after a proper drawing
had been executed. Before that could be accomplished, Mr. Chock and
family removed to the Mainland and the package of specimens lies some=
where in the Museum where, no one knowse We believe this species ex=-
tinct because, when we collected specimens from the plant in 1961 the
area, thanks to the jeep road, was being bulldozed in strips for the
planting of Pinus taeda to foster a lumber industry. Eventually, af-
ter the herbarium specimens have come to light, we shall properly pub-
lish an illustrated description.
The taxa with more or less unifoliolate leaves we prefer to alter
in name as follows:

This taxon, collected by Forbes in 1920 and by Degener in 1952, is
apparently endemic to the neighboring area at Kanaio, East Mauie
So few in the Hawaiian Islands realize the scientific value of our
endemics, and ruthlessly destroy them to gain a few pounds of venison
or board feet of lumber. Our protests fall on deaf ears. Perhaps some
of our akamai legislators and citizens will heed Dr. Melville's state-
ment in his letter to us: "It appears to me that Sophora chrysophylla
is an extremely interesting example of diversification in a plant spe-
cies comparable with that of the Darwin Finches in the Galapagos, and
I think this comparison could be made use of in urging the conserva-
tion of this speciese"

This form differs from the typical form of the species in hav-
ing its flower—heads proliferating into mostly or only leaf-like
structures which are strictly erect, fascicled, stiff, subcoriace-
ous, brownish-olive in color, long-ciliate along the margins,
otherwise glabrous, acuminate-aristate at the apex, mostly 8--10
mm. long but usually with one much longer (1.5—2.5 cm. long) than
the rest in each head.
The type of this remarkable form was collected by Henrique Lah-
meyer de Mello Barreto (no. 291) at Acebe Mundo, in the Serra do
Curral, Municipality of Bello Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on
March 10, 1933, and is deposited in the Britton Herbarium at the

cm. wide at the midpoint, and its peduncles very densely and con-
spicuously spreading-villous with grayish hair.
The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, S. F. de
Fonséca, R. Souza, R. Reis dos Santos, & J. Ramos (no. 28201) ina
campo in an area of campo, cerrado on outcrops, and wooded valley,
at 1200 m. altitude, about 3 km. north of Sdo Jo&o Chapada, in the
Serra do Espinhago, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on March 2, 1970, and
is deposited in my personal herbarium at Plainfield, New Jersey.
SYNGONANTHUS CAULESCENS var. DOURADENSIS Moldenke, var. nov.
Haec varietas a forma tyoica speciei bracteis involucrantibus
stramineis latiore lanceolatis recedit.
This variety differs from the typical form of the species in
having its involucral bracts stramineous and more broadly lanceo-
late.
The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, R. Souza,
and R. Reis dos Santos (no. 11753) in shallow water in an area of
campo and cerrado on the sandstone summit of Serra Dourada, at
800 m. altitude, about 20 km. southeast of Goids Velho, Goids, Bra-
zil, on January 18, 1966, and is deposited in the Britton Herbarium
at the New York Botanical Garden.
SYNGONANTHUS GRACILIS var. LATIFOLIUS Moldenke, var. nov.
Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliis 2 m. latis arcte
appressis recedit.
This variety differs from the typical form and from all other
described varieties of the species in having its basal leaves very
numerous, closely appressed to the ground, and uniformly about 2
mm. Wide at the midpoint.
The type of the variety was collected by H. S. Irwin, J. W.
Grear, Jr., R. Souza, and R. Reis dos Santos (no. 16395 in a gal-
lery margin, at 550 m. altitude, about 86 kn. north of Xavantina,
Mato Grosso, Brazil, on May 31, 1966, and is deposited in the
Britton Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden.
PREMNA ODORATA f. CRENULATA Koord. & Val., f. nov.
Haec forma a forma typica speciei laminis foliorum irregulari-
ter sed argute crenato-serratis recedit.
This form differs from the typical form of the species in hav=
ing the leaf=-blades rather irregularly but sharply crenate-serrate
from almost the base to the apex. It is described under P. tomen-
tosa Willd. in Koord. & Val., Bijdr. Boomsoort. Java 7: 181 (1900)
and numerous specimens were annotated by Koorders and Valeton in the
Buitenzorg Herbarium as P. tomentosa var. crenulata and P. tomentosa
f. crenulata Koord. & Val., but I have not yet been able to deter=
mine where (if at all) they formally published either of these tri-
1971 Moldenke, More new pipeworts, etc. 419
nomials. All the twenty-one sheets of this form in the Buiten-
zorg Herbarium (and I have not found it represented in any of the
other thirty-seven herbaria in which I have examined the material
of P. odorata) seem to represent young sterile branches, so it
may well be, as Koorders & Valeton suggest, that this is merely a
javenile state of the species, although in that case it is pass-
ing strange that it should be found only in Java, Sumatra, and
Timor and never to have been observed (and collected) anywhere
else in the rather extensive range of the species from Nepal and
India east to New Guinea!
The type of the form was collected by Sijfert Hendrik Koorders
(no. 9725b) in Java, and is deposited in the Herbarium Bogoriense
at Buitenzorg.

Haec varietas a forma typica speciei foliolis minoribus 2.5——9
em. longis 1.3—-3.5 cm. latis plusminus irregulariter serratis
recedit.
This variety differs from the typical form of the species in
having its leaflets averaging smaller, 2.5--9 cm. long and 1.3--
3.5 cm. wide, more or less serrate with irregularly placed, of-
ten remote, appressed, antrorse teeth toward the apex or only
undate-repand, dull gray-green above in drying, the veinlet re-
ticulation usually conspicuous and obtusely subprominulent above.
Usually it is only the larger leaflets that exhibit the teeth.
The type of the variety was collected by D. Mueller—Dombois &
N. Balakrishnan (no. 68091211) in "sedge-wewa", associated with
Zyzygium sp. in temple ruins | ruins at Wilpattu National Park, Ceylon,
between Weerakuti Villu and Maduru Odai, a little ier of Hindu,
at 100 meters altitude, on September 12, 1968, and is deposited
in the United States National Herbarium at Washington. Of the
many specimens of this well-known species examined by me in
twenty-one herbaria, this is the first collection to exhibit
serrate leaves. The specimen is in fruiting condition, so in this
case probably cannot be dismissed as a seedling, sucker, or
juvenile condition,

The preface announces that "this volume is the product of the
Second International Symposium on Factors Determining the Behavior
of Plant Pathogens in Soil, held in London, England July 1-28,
1968, in conjunction with the First International Congress of
Plant Pathology. It is the successor to the volume 'Ecology of
Soil-Borne Plant Pathogens: Prelude to Biological Control' edited
by Kenneth F. Baker and William C. Snyder [1965], and presents new
knowledge that has accumulated in the interim as well as subject
matter not treated in the first volume."
The book is composed of Parts: I introduction surveying recent
ecological advances in soil-borne plant pathogens, II population
dynamics of soil pathogens with 8 papers, III genetical aspects of
pathogenic and saprophytic behavior in root-infecting fungi with 5
papers, IV soil moisture and aeration on fungal activity with root
diseases with 3 papers, V effect of root exudates on root infection
with 10 papers, VI & VII root diseases of forest crops and tropi-
cal plantation crops with 15 papers, and VIII crop growth responses
to soil fumigation with 7 papers.
The writing is concise, the reading is smooth, the printing is
clean. Each paper presents its own bibliography; there is a gen-
eral index.
This valuable book has much of interest to the economic botan-
ist, the mycologist, the nematologist, the plant pathologist and
the biology student.
"SYMPOSIUM ON MAJOR EVOLUTIONARY EVENTS AND THE GEOLOGICAL RECORD

There are important, valuable papers on: precambrian micro-
organisms and evolutionary events prior to the origin of vascular
plants, the rise of the first land plants, the appearance of gym-
nospermous structure, heterospory and the origin of the seed habit,
and palynological evidence on early differentiation of angiosperms.
Prof. Banks gives a short introduction and an excellent summary in
succinct outline of the main highlights in the record of plants on
earth, followed by a time scale.

"MICROBES AND BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTIVITY" edited by D. E. Hughes &
A. H. Rose, x & 378 pp., illus., Cambridge University Press,
Cambridge, England & New York, N. Y. 10022. 1971. $16.00.
This fine book consists of a preface and 15 papers presented in
April 1971 to the 21st Symposium of the Society of General Micro-
biology at University College, London. Even with such prompt
printing there is a general index. Each paper carries its own
bibliography and together covers virtually all of the literature
in the field, even the most recent.
The following topics are effectively discussed: quantitative
and qualitative productivity, hydrocarbons as a possible future
source of single-cell protein, algae and lithotrophic bacteria as
food sources perhaps cultured on a "lawn" of filaments covered by
a thin medium film for ruminants if not for people, microbial
overproduction of food additives for flavor and preservation,
microbial disease and biological control of plant and animal pro-
ductivity, microbial activity in soils (especially around roots)
and in No fixation, and microbial production in polar regions, in
oceans and in aquatic environments.
"INTRODUCTION TO FUNGI" by John Webster, viii & 2 pp., illus.,
Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, England & New York,
N. Y. 10022. 1970. $10.50. ‘
This is an excellent new text usable as the main guide in any
temperate climate area and as a reference book in any other cli-
mate. I4 is arranged systematically 4 la Ainsworth (1966) and
stresses field observations, morphology and recent research
yielded in the fields of physiology, ecology, genetics, cytology
and ultrastructures, and pathology. It is copiously illustrated
with excellent drawings (many from electron microscope recon-
structions) and with good photographs (but some printed too
darkly). The text is written clearly and most concisely. The
bibliography is rich. The price is really reasonable.

Muriel Arber, daughter of the author and the one to whom the
book was originally dedicated, has added to this issue an accumu-
lated list of errata and a second preface.
In this book, long out of print, the author has "made a tenta-
tive and provisional attempt to review the relations of parts in
the flowering plants in the light of those more universal, and
also more stringent, modes of thought, which are characteristic
of philosophy rather than biology." The eleven chapters cover:
the meaning and content of plant morphology from the schools of
Aristotle, Albertus Magnus, Andrea Cesalpino, Joachim Jung,
Goethe, and de Candolle through the author's concept of organiza-

leaf.
This work is thoughtfully developed, well documented, classi-
cal and of historical value. I wonder how many copies will sell
today?

This is a complete taxonomic revision of 51 species of this fan-
ily by the capable botanist—author who has been studying the group
for many years especially in the Andean forests of Colombia and
from world-wide herbarium collections. The single-genus family
shows by anatomical data its affinity with the Rosales. The evo-
lutionary discussions are very interesting. The drawings and
photos are excellent. Carefully constructed keys are given.
Dr. Eyde contributed the chapter on anatomy and Dr. Marticorena
the one on palynology.

These are detailed taxonomic studies of the subtribe, genus and
family of the basidiomycetes that have occupied the author's at-
tention for many years in both wide range field and herbarium
studies. This work is highly valuable scientifically, but its
price is inexcusably high for a paper-back issue of less than 150
pages.
A nice feature of the publication is the inclusion on the last
page of a photograph and brief résumé of the author.

1969. $4.50.
This is Number l; of the Papers of the Laboratory of Tree-Ring
Research. The Pinus aristata Engelm. (misspelled in the preface)
population on the dry upper slopes of these mountains in east-
central California has some individuals whose age exceeds ),000
years and whose green needles may be retained by branches for
oeriods up to 30 years!
"The various tree-ring chronologies in all stands of the White
Mountains are highly correlated with each other, especially in
years of minimum growth. The statistical characteristics of tree-
ring chronologies are a function of environmental modifications
caused primarily by topographic variation, secondly by altitude
difference, and thirdly by substrate conditions of each site. Ring-
1971 Moldenke, Book reviews 23
width chronologies from the trees on exposed, low elevation, and
rocky dolomitic sites are most variable.....and contain the most
information about variations in climate....If the chronologies are
developed from climatically 'sensitive' arid-site trees and appro-
priately dated, they can provide an accurate, extremely long and
reliable record of moisture and temperature as it has varied in
the past."
A carefully executed, well documented, interesting study!
"THE GROWING TREE" by B. F. Wilson, iv & 152 pp., illus., Univer-
sity of Massachusetts Press, Amherst, Massachusetts 01002.
1970. $6 250.
"This book is intended for people, from the intelligent owner or
observer of trees to the professional student of trees, who are in-
terested in the basic processes of tree growth,....the culmination
of more than ten years' work with growing trees". It discusses
the general aspects of the growth process, form and elongation and
dormancy of branches and roots, apical dominance and lateral forma-
tion and its orientation, the process and regulation of cambial
activity, distribution of photosynthate and thickening problems,
and finally the nutritive, correlative and competitive interactions
of branches, roots and cambium to produce the growth of the whole
tree.
This is a very neat, attractive, excellent piece of botany,
writing and printing. It is provided with several flow charts,
model diagrams and an interestingly annotated bibliography.

vv 7 .
This is the eleventh of 15 already published International Bio-—
logical Programme Handbooks planned primarily so that participa-
ting biologists will be guided in both their studies and their
writings with common philosophies, goals, techniques and means of
interpretation, and so that these recorded results,.etc., "will
be useful all over the world to biologists [on all levels — stu-
dent, interested reader, instructors, researchers —] for many
years to come". The book indicates safely that all are excellent
and highly valuable in this whole series.
The importance of this work is not by any means exaggerated in
this excerpt from the foreword: "the loss or destruction of the
world's genetic resources by short-sighted or ill-—directed plan-
ning is something so wasteful that its consequences can be disas-
trous both for world food production and for man himself." There
are a preface, 5 papers, an appendix describing the work of
Vavilov All-Union Institute of Plant Industry in Leningrad, a
full name index and a skimpy subject index. The papers deal with
biological background, tactics of exploration and collection
with examples, evaluation and utilization, documentation and re-

Preparatory to the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human
Environment, the Steering Committee, whose director and assistant
director are the editors from the sponsoring M.I.T., planned a
Study of Critical Environmental Problems (SCEP) for July 1970 at
Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts. The month-long
conference of several scientists and professionals will be record=
ed soon in detailed bound volumes and is presented in this report
as a distillation of the major findings with recommendations and
as résumés of the work groups on: climatic effects, ecological ef=
fects, monitoring, implications of change, industrial pollutants,
domestic and agricultural wastes, and energy products.
Careful reading will achieve the major objective of SCEP which
is desperately needed "to raise the level of informed public and
scientific discussion and action on global environmental prob-
lems......Most corrective action will probably have to be taken
at the national, regional, and local levels. In research and
monitoring programs, however, the potential for international
cooperation is high."
The valuable papers indicate what is known and what is needed
to be known, and they are documented with bibliography and covered
in a general index.
“PATHOGENIC ROOT-INFECTING FUNGI" by S. D. Garrett, xi & 29) pp.,
illus., Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, England &
New York, N. Y. 10022. 1970. $12.50.
Rather than a new edition of the author's fine "Biology of
Root—infecting Fungi" of 1956, this is an excellent whole new
text about these organisms that constitute a substantial and
omnipresent threat to all of our crop plants. Obviously, it
will be needed by student, teaching and professional mycolo-
gists and plant pathologists, but it has a wider appeal for its
"world is that of the living soil, which is the mother of all
terrestrial plant life and therefore of direct concern to every
human being and of interest to every biologist."
After an interesting introduction, the book treats unspecial-
ized parasites in seedlings and older plants, then specialized
ones in vascular wilts and ectrotrophs, saprophytic colonization
of substrates and host tissues, dormancy, and root disease con-
trol.
There are a good bibliography and an index, as well as rela-
tively few excellent illustrations.
PARMELIA PERMACULATA, A NEW LICHEN FROM ALABAMA AND MEXICO
Mason E. Hale, Jr.
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560
In my monograph of Parmelia subgenus Amphigymnia (Hale, 1965)
I identified a series of specimens from Alabama and Mexico as P.
reparata Stirton, a species first described from Australia. The
identifications were tentative since the type was in poor condi-
tion. Now that I have recently seen other specimens from Austra-
lia, I am convinced that the American material is different and
represents a new species since it has a broad zone free of rhi-
zines along the margin below, whereas P. reparata consistently has
dense rhizines to the margin and may actually be related to the
widespread P. cetrata Ach.
PARMELIA PERMACULATA Hale, sp. nov.
Thallus laxe adnatus, expansus, coriaceus, usque ad 20 cm
diametro, albocinereus, lobis rotundatis, usque ad 1.5 cm latis,
margine ciliatis, ciliis 1.2-2.5 mm longis, superne planus, niti-
dus, valde albomaculatus, aetate rimosus, sorediis isidiisque de-
stitutis, subtus niger, rhizinosus centrum versus, margine nudus,
castaneus. Apothecia numerosa, usque ad 20 cm diametro, amphithe-
cio rugoso, albomaculato, disco perforato, sporis 6-7X13-1l6p.
Holotype: On deciduous trees, open pasture, 9 km east Jalapa
along hwy. 140, Veracruz, Mexico, M. E. Hale 19406, 13 March 1960
(US; isotypes in S, TNS, UPS).
Distribution: Alabama, Mexico (Veracruz, Chiapas, Nayarit).
For specimens examined see those listed under P. reparata in Hale
(1965), p. 338.
This conspicuous Amphigymnia species (see photograph, Fig. 39
in Hale, 1965) is most common in Veracruz at an elevation of 1000-
1400 m. The nearest relative is fatiscent-sorediate P. coralli-
fera Hale, a Mexican endemic. Both species contain atranorin
and salazinic acid.

NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON THE ORCHIDACEAE - IV
Robert L. Dressler and Glenn E. Pollard
The authors have had a special interest in the
genus Encyclia for several years, and we hope to
publish an illustrated revision of the Mexican
species in the near future. We herewith validate the
necessary new combinations and new taxa, to make
these names available for use in anatomical and other
studies which may antedate the revision. In the
present note we will give synonyms other than the
basionym only in cases of special interest.
The distinctions between Encyclia and See
have been discussed by Dressler (lett tonie : -
266. 1961). We have treated the two major groups
within Encyclia as sections, but we will now treat
them as Stersecn to facilitate the delineation of
distinctive subgroups within each. These subgenera
are compared in the accompanying table. While these
groups differ in several tendencies, none of these
gives a really sharp separation. The shape of the
column is the most constant feature and it is easily
seen, but there are a few species which do not conform
well, even in this feature. Thus, we feel that these
two groups are best classified as subgenera of a single
genus.
1. ENCYCLIA subgenus OSMOPHYTUM (Lindley) comb. nov.
- Epidendrum subgenus Osmo tum Lindley, Hook.
Journ. Bot. 4: 81. 1841. e: Epidendrum
fragrans Sw.
Lindley first named this group as a section, in
1839 (Bot. Reg. 25: misc. p. 85), but in other places
he used "section," "subgenus" and "division" quite
interchangeably. We cannot now explain (or justify)
Dressler's modification of Osmophytum to "Osmophyta"
(Brittonia 13: 261. 1961).
la. ENCYCLIA section OSMOPHYTUM
This section includes most members of the sub-
genus and is quite diverse in some features, but all
the extremes are connected by intermediate species.
1b. ENCYCLIA section HORMIDIUM (Lindley) comb. et
stat. nov. —- Epidendrum subgenus Hormidium
Lindley, Hook. Journ. t. 3: 81. Ia.
Type: Epidendrum uniflorum Lindley (= Encyclia
triptera).
This sma group includes E. gramme toglossa, E.
rhynchophora, E. triptera and poss y one or two
433
43h
Subgenus Encyclia
Mid-tooth of column short,
usually broadly deltoid,
separated from the lateral
teeth by broad, shallow
sinuses, closely appressed
to the anther, not covered
by a fleshy, knob-like
appendage
Capsule not sharply
Z-angled or 3-winged
Flower and plant tissues
without large crystals
Column often winged
Callus usually 2 fleshy
ridges with an elliptic or
boat-shaped depression in
the middle
Inflorescence usually
without a prominent spathe
Pseudobulbs usually ovoid
or conic-ovoid, rarely
flattened
Leaves thick and leathery
PHY TOLOG 12
Vol. 21, no. 7
Subgenus Osmophytum
Mid-tooth of column
("ligule") narrowly
deltoid, ligulate or
subflabellate, not closely
appressed to the anther,
usually more or less
covered by a fleshy,
knob-like appendage,
which is obtuse or
truncate and separated
from the lateral teeth by
deep and usually acute
sinuses
Capsule usually sharply
3Z-angled or 3-winged
Flower and plant tissues
usually filled with large
crystals
Column never winged
Callus usually a thickened
pad
Inflorescence often with
a prominent spathe
Pseudobulbs often some-—
what flattened
Leaves thinner
A comparison of the subgenera Encyclia and Osmophytum
other species of South America; it may be distinguished
by the very long apical appendage ("mid-tooth") of the
column, the broad, rounded lateral lobes of the lip and
the small, acute or acuminate mid-lobe. Hormidium has
been treated as a distinct genus at times, but never
very clearly delimited. Until very recently, at least,
this name was used only for E. triptera and its
several synonyms and for several species of true
eprcendrum which have no close relationship with E.
i
iptera.
le. ENCYCLIA section EUCHILE, sect. nov. - Caulis
pseudobulbosus, ovoideus; labellum magnum, subintegrum;
columna clavata, apice trilobulata. Type: Epidendrum
mariae Ames.
1971 Dressler & Pollard, Nomenclatural notes 435
This section includes only the type and the
closely allied E. citrina. These species agree with
the other speciés of subgenus Osmophytum in the fleshy
appendage ("mid-tooth") at the apex of the column, but
are otherwise somewhat anomalous in all their features.
2. ENCYCLIA subgenus ENCYCLIA
Type: Encyclia viridiflora Hooker
2a. ENCYCLIA section ENCYCLIA
This section corresponds to the genus Encyclia as
it has been used by many authors. Species ee as E.
bractescens, E. kienastii and especially E. micro-
bulbon show strong relationships with section Lepto-
um.
2b. ENCYCLIA section BRACHYCOLUMNA (L. Wms.) comb.
nov. — Epidendrum section Brachycolumna L. Wms.,
Amer. Orc oc. Ball.,.10: as 1942.
Type: idendrum brachyco fume L. Wms.
This section includes only e type, an unusual
and probably primitive species with eight rather than
four pollinia. It is most closely related to the
members of the following section.
2c. ENCYCLIA section LEPTOPHYLLUM, sect. nov. -
Caulis pseudobulbosus, subsphaericus; folia lineares;
labellum integrum, subadnatum, papillosum vel striatum;
columna brevis, lobuli laterales longiores, aliiformes.
Type: idendrum tenuissimum Ames, Hubb. & Schweinf.
8 rather uniform little group includes E.
cyanocolumna, E. distantiflora, E. luteorosea, E.
subula Olia and E. tenuissima. ASide from their very
Narrow leaves, most of them are vegetatively like the
members of section Encyclia in miniature. The column,
too, resembles that of section Encyclia, but the
lateral teeth or lobes are large and somewhat wing-like
(extended apically, not laterally as are the true
column-wings in many species of section Encyclia).
2d. ENCYCLIA section DINEMA (Lindley) comb. et stat.
nov. -— Dinema Lindley, Gen. & Sp. Orch. Pl.
111. 1831.” Type: Epidendrum polybulbon Sw.
This section includes only @ type species, which
vegetatively resembles subgenus ns Lepvonhy but florally
is most closely allied to sections Lepto llum and
Encyclia. This, as with the other sections here named,
its comfortably in our broader concept of Encyclia,
but it would be a misfit in any more narrowly
delineated genus (unless monotypic).

This species is closely related to E. diota and E.
spatella (syn. E. meliosma), and thus a member of one
oF the most difficult complexes in the genus. In some
areas it hybridizes extensively with E. spatessa: but
in others they coexist without any sign of inter-
gradation. To make matters worse, the type of E.
meliosma cannot now be found. If the specimen is ever

E. meliosma to be incorrect.

is quite unlike that of any related genus.

Orchidaceae.

In checking on the combination Bletia rosea, I
failed to note that my card file of Bletia names had
been divided into two categories, and thus overlooked
Reichenbach's earlier use of the name (for what is now
considered a Schomburgkia). The epithet urata is
uncomfortably like at of B. purpurea (ron DC., BOR
there seems to be no alternative s its use.
I here publish new combinations for the few
Central American Encyclias which still lack valid
names in Encyclia and for two South American members of
the E. fragrans complex, which will be treated in
greater deta in a separate paper.

I give here only the synonyms most important for
Central America. This species is nomenclaturally
central in a bewildering complex which is most
variable in the Andes. It seems best to use this name
for the entire complex until (or unless) a thorough
study of the complex is available.
EPIDENDRUM HAMATUM (Garay) comb. nov. - Stenoglossum
hamatum Garay, Orquideologia 4: 72. 1969.
Garay suggests that Stenoglossum be accepted as a
Gl on th
genus distinct from idendrum e basis of four
features (loc. cit. p. 70); these are:
1. non-resupinate flowers - This feature is frequent
in idendrum, including section Spathium Lindley.
Many species of section Spathium have an arching
inflorescence, so that mos owers have the lip
lowermost without any actual twisting of the ovary or
pedicel (a sort of passive resupination). This is
exactly the situation in idendrum (Stenoglossum}
spetonho rua. This feature clearly cannot be en to
istinguish Stenoglossum from Epidendrun.
2. transverse plate-like rostellum - The rostellum is
transverse and plate-like in all species of Epidendrun.
In most species of Epidendrum the transverse rosteilum
is nearly parallel wth the axis of the column, while
in E. coryophorum and E. hamatum it forms an angle of
about Se uth the axis of the column, which may be the
distinction intended by Garay. The structure of the
rostellum is quite the same in E. coryophorum and E.
hamatum as in the majority of Epiden rum species, and
the angle varies somewhat within Epidendrun.
3. two, distinctly lobed stigmata - I believe that
Garay has misinterpreted the structure of the stigma.
The drawing which accompanies his paper (loc. cit. p.
74) shows the posterior stigmatic lobes from below and
42 Pet. Yi T OcLGiGplek Vol. 21, no. 7
behind, and thus cannot show whether or not the
stigmatic surface is continuous in front of and
between these lobes. My examination of herbarium
specimens indicates that the stigmatic surface is
by no means divided into separate stigmas, but is
quite like that of idendrum tridactylum, except
that the posterior Iobes project forward (see
Brittonia 19: 238. 1967).
4. ovoid or globose, but never compressed, pollinia
- The pollinia of E. coryophorum are undoubtedly very
thick, even if slightly compressed laterally. How-
ever, the pollinia of E. hamatum are distinctly com-
pressed. In the type collection and in Barkley,
Gutierrez & Sierra 4, the dry pollinia are more strong-
ly compressed than those of Epidendrum elegantissimum
Lehm. & Kranzlin or E. ne Lindley, and
compressed to about the same degree as those of E.
cylindraceum Lindley and E. parvilabre Lindley (all
species which resemble Stenoglossum in habit and
other features). Thus, 1. must reaffirm my earlier
conclusion that Stenoglossum should not be maintained
as a distinct genus (Brittonia 19: 243. 1967).

Garay (loc. cit.) indicates that bicornis Lindley
is an earlier epithet for this species, which I have
assigned to Hexisea. As indicated in the previous
paper (loc. cit.), the assignment is based primarily
on the non-jointed lip and the close relationship to
H. Sigmoidea Ames & Schweinf. As indicated by Garay,
the Supposedly sigmoid form of the lip is, by itself,
insufficient to delimit the genus.
In our work with American orchids, a few genera
have consistently refused to "fit" in the tribes or
subtribes to which they were assigned by Schlechter
and subsequent authors. Two of these are so isolated
in their relationships and so unusual in their charac-
teristics as to demand the creation of separate sub-
tribes, while the remaining genera are, together,
sufficiently distinctive to suggest tribal status.
1971 Dressler, Nomenclatural notes 43
Tribe EPIDENDREAE subtribe CRYPTARRHENINAE, new sub-
tribe - Folia conduplicata; pedunculi laterales,
multiflori; columna brevis, clinandrio cucullato;
pollinia 4, complanata; caudiculae 1 vel 2, stipiti-
formes.
Type: Cryptarrhena Lindley
It is not at all clear whether this monogeneric
subtribe should be assigned to the Epidendresae or the
Vandeae. The habit and the form of the pollinia
suggest Vandeae, and the hyaline, stipe-like
caudicles resemble those of Lockhartia and Centro-
etalum, which however, attach to true stipes. This
Subtribe may eventually be given tribal rank.
Tribe EPIDENDREAE subtribe MEIRACYLLIINAE, new sub-
tribe - Caules monophylli; folia conduplicata,
carnosa; pedunculi terminales, pauciflori; labellum
integrum vel subintegrum, profunde concavum; columna
basi teres, rostello recto; anthera dorsalis;
pollinia 8, tenue clavata, glandulae affixae.
Type: Meiracyllium Reichb. f.
Possibly intermediate between the pene and
the Pleurothallidinae (see Brittonia l2:
1960), this genus does not fit well in either group,
and does not seem to be closely related to Podochilus
or other Asiatic genera.
Tribe PACHYPHYLLEAE, new tribe - Caules tenues, pleuro-
phylli; pedunculi laterales vel terminales; columna
plus minusve alata; pollinia 2, caudiculae 1 vel 2,
stipitiformes, stipiti laminiformi affixae.
Type: Pachyphyllum Kunth
This tribe, to include the subtribes Fachyehye-
linae and Lockhartiinae, is quite distinctive in e
form of the pollinaria. Though the members of the
two subtribes are rather different in other features,
their pollinaria are so similar as to suggest a close
relationship. I anticipate a system in which the
tribe Vandeae of Lindley is divided into about six
more uniform tribes, of which this is the only one
not already given a tribal name by Pfitzer.

whose seeds he ascertained to have endosperm, apparently basing
his conclusion on the examination of only the seeds of C. ameri-

it would seem that results obtained from one species can hardly
be regarded as providing a safe indication for the entire genus.

blades which are acute (not long-attenuate) at the base, abruptly
acuminate-caudate (not acutely attenuate) at the apex, and sinu-

Gamble (1878) records the vernacular names "goehlo", "jamti",
and "sung-a-king" for this plant and notes that the species grows
at altitudes up to 3000 feet and is "Very common in old Mechi or
Lepcha cultivations", flowering in April, fruiting in November;
"Almost universal in the si plaoea He most common in dry mixed for-

brown. Wood brownish white, of good grain, tolerably heavy; only

It ought to be noted here that Clarke (1885) lists C. farinosa
Roxb. as a synonym of C. arborea, but I am regarding it as belong-
ing in the synonymy of C, tomentosa (L.) Murr.; the C. arborea
Miq., which he lists, is also a synonym of C. tomentosa.
Merrill (1917) claims that C. weberi Merr. is most closely al-
lied to C. arborea, but differs in its much smaller cymes which
are usually only o only once or twice forked, its smaller and fewer-
veined leaves, its larger flowers, and its ovaries being slightly
glandular but not tomentose.
Fletcher (1938) records C. arborea from Thailand as follows:

found it flowering from April to July, October, and November and
fruiting in January, July, and September to November, growing
from sealevel to 700 meters altitude, inhabiting forests, the
margins of rainforests, the edge of woods, base of cliffs, and
cultivated ground, growing on limestone near riverbanks, in
alang-alang (Carangium odoratum) fields, in grass savannas of low-
lying areas, and in the tracks in ee Beer & Lam (1936)
report it as "common in forest regrowths", Mrs. Clemens describes
it as a "shrub in rocks with Rapanea and Glochidion", while Brass
calls it "sporadic in secondary grassland" on Fergusson Island,

It is worth noting here that the C. cana of Dalzell & Gibson
is actually C. tomentosa (L.) Murr., that of Gamble is C. macro-
phylla Vahl, “that of Wallich is in part C. longifolia Lam. » and
that of Demande of Sprengel, and of Vahl is C. candicans (Burm.
f.) Hochr.; the C. cuspidata credited to Lam & Bakhuizen van den
Brink is C. longipes Dunn, that credited to Bakhuizen alone is in
part C. longipe s and in part C. rubella Lindl., and that credited
to Hasskarl is C. longifolia Lam.; the C. dentata credited to
Roxburgh is C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr. while that of Pavon and
of Sessé & Mocifio are Cormutia grandifolia (Schlecht. & Cham.)
Schau.; and the C. lanata of Gamble is C. vestita Wall., that of
Linnaeus and of Wallich is C. tomentosa -(L.) Murr., that of Hossé-
us is C, arborea Roxb., that t of H. J. Lam is C. arborea var. psi-
localyx (H. J. Lam) Moldenke, and that of Lamarck is Premna odor-
ata Blanco.
Hasskarl's reference (18), given in the above bibliography,
is often cited as "Cat. Pl. Bot. Bogor. Cult. 2: 136--137" or as
"2° Cat. Buitenz."
The Sprengel (1825) reference is incorrectly cited by Hass-
karl (18) as "2: 420", The Lam & Meeuse reference (192) also
cited above is sometimes cited as "195" or "196", but actually
450 PHY TOL 0 Gres Vol. 21, no. 7
bears the inscription "issued June 15th, 192". These authors
cite a nO. 3429 from Nenoesa in the Talaud Islands, describing
the plant as about 1 m. tall, leaves bright-green above, light-
green beneath, calyx light-green, corolla light-violet, and anth-
ers yellow, growing in cultivated ground, at 100 meters altitude,
flowering in June. They give the overall distribution of the
species as "Malay Peninsula to Australia".
Brown's original (1810) description of C. pedunculata is "fol-
iis ovatis acutis dentato-serratis basi obtusissim&: adultis
supra scabris subtiis cinereo-tomentosis, pedunculo petiolum paulo
superante. (T.) v.v." The original description of C. cuspidata
by Wallich (1820) is "Shrubby, all the tender parts, and the un-
der surface of the short-petioled, elliptic, dentate, cuspidate.
Leaves woolly. Corymbs axillary, their division and the calyces
clothed with minute grains under the wool. A native of the Mo-
luccas; the leaves are always acutely dentate, and end in a long
taper, acute point. The Berries are very small, smooth and
purple." The fruits, of course, are drupes, not berries.
The original description of C. lanata by Vahl (179) is as
follows: "Callicarpa lanata foliis ovatis basi rotundatis integ-
errimis subdenticulatis, supra rugosis subtus ramisque lanato-
tomentosis. Tomex tomentosa. LIN. fl. Zeyl. pag. 2h. fide
herb. Hermanni. Callicarpa lanata (tomentosa S. V. p. 153) fol-
iis integerrimis lanatis. LIN. Mant. p. 331. Rami, uti petioli,
folia subtus e pedunculi, tomento densissimo tecti. Folia ovata,
attenuata, 4--5 pollicaria, basi pollices tres lata, nervis sup-
ra villosis incanis, rugosa, integerrima vel extrorsum dentibus
obscure dentata: dentibus acutis. Inflorescentia ut in reliquis!
Obviously it is C. tomentosa (L.) Murr. which he is here de-
scribing. ox
As to the overall geographic distribution of the true C. pe-
dunculata, Beer & Lam (1936) say "Formosa, Philippines, East Ma-
laysia to Polynesia", King & Gamble (1908) say "Malay Archipelago,
Tropical Australia", Domin (1928) says "Von Penang iiber Malaya
nach Australien (Nord-Australien, Queensland, nordl. N. S. Wales",
Lam (191) gives it as "P. Pinang; Java; Celebes; Ambon; Key-
Insl.; Niederl. Neu Guinea; Kais. Wilh. Land; Neu-Mecklenberg;
New-Pommern; Uatom; trop. Australien", while in his 192) work he
modifies this to "Penang, Malayischer Archipel, Bismarck-Archipel,
tropisches Australien", Lam & Meeuse (192) give it as "Malay
Peninsula to Australia" and record it from Nanoesa Island on the
basis of their no. 3429, while Kanehira & Hatusima (192) say
"Philippines, East Malaya to New Guinea and Polynesia". Bentham
& Mueller (1370) comment that "The species is also in the Archi-
pelago and is closely allied to the widely diffused C. Macro-
phylla, Vahl. Schauer refers it to 'C. lanata Vahl Symb. iii.
13', but if he had turned to the page he quotes, he would have
seen that the name is Linnaeus' not Vahl's and relates to the
very different Ceylon species which Schauer has published under
the name C. Wallichiana."
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 451
Lam (1919) includes a C. dentata Wall., in part, no. 6319, in
the synonymy of C. pedunculata, but I regard this binomial as be-
longing to the synonymy of C. longifolia Lam. He gives the dis-
tribution of C. pedunculata as "P, Penang, Malay Archipelago (Ja-
val, Celebes! , Wetar!, Ambon!, Key-isl.!, Dutch-New-Guinea! ,
Kais .-W. -land), Bismark-archipelago! , tropical Australia", "He
comments that "Its affinities are with C. rubella, C. pilosis-
sima Max. (from Formosa), C. caudata and | C. macrophylla. The
leaves, however, never have a distinctly cordate base, as inC.
rubella, are never as narrow as in C, pilosissima, have never an
acute or cuneate base as in C. caudata, nor are as long and wide
as the leaves of C. macrophylla, which are coarsely dentate and
have their greatest breadth near the base." In discussing C.
rubella he says "Its affinity is, especially in regard with the
flower, with C. pedunculata, but its leaves are always cordate,
subsessile and narrower, whilst its cymes are smaller, fascicu-
late, not widely dichotomous as in C. pedunculata."
Interestingly enough, Steudel (1521) notes "cfr. Callicarpa
dentata" in his entry for C. pedunculata, while in his 1840 work
he actually includes a C. lanata "Linn." in the synonymy on the
authority of Sprengel. The Schultes (1827) ask "videtur eadem,
ac lanata. Quid Callicarpa macrocarpa Raeusch.? -- sinensis
Noisette?" The last two names referred to in this quotation are
actually synonyms of C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr.
Britten (1901) reduces C, lanata "Schauer (non Vahl)" to syno-
nymy under C. pedunculata; Rehder (1914) also gives "C. lanata,
Schau., not Linn." as a synonym, while Jacques & Hérincq (1851)
adopt C. lanata "Vahl" as the accepted name for the taxon, redu-
cing C. , pedunculata R. Br. to synonymy under it.
Ridley (1923) includes C. pedunculata only under "Excluded
Species" for the Malay Peninsula, commenting that the "Wallich,
1834, no. 2" cited by Gamble is "Hamilton, 1334" from Penang, but
actually represents what is now called C, " candicans (Burm. f.)
Hochr. He states categorically that "There is no evidence for
Callicarpa pedunculata occurring in the [Malay] Peninsula",
It should also be noted here that C. B. Robinson 300, from Am-
boina, was at first regarded by Merrill and others as r represen~
ting the Mamanira alba of Rumphius (17,3), but the latter is now
regarded by me as belonging to the synonymy of Callicarpa longi-
folia Lam. Stapf, however, in 1929 still cites Rumphius! pl. 59
as illustrating "C. cuspidata".
Sprengel (1825) places C. pedunculata in the synonymy of what
he calls C. lanata L. {now known as C. tomentosa (L.) Murr.)
along with | C. dentata Roth and C. incana Roxb. [the latter now re-
garded as By macrophylla Vahl]. He lie regarded C. cuspidata Roxb.
as a distinct species from C. pedunculata, this being quite under-
452 P°RSY-T/O LOG) te Vol.»21, naseT
standable if C. pedunculata is regarded as a synonym of C. tomen-
tosa. Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) also kept c. pedunculata
and C. cuspidata apart as separate species. In the synonymy of
the former he placed C, americana Blanco, C. bicolor F. Vill., C.
blancoi Rolfe, C. formosana Rolfe, C. ovata a .02 Bi , B. Robinson, and
Cc. atanspiviia Merr. -- actually, C. ', formosana and C. stenophylla
are valid species [albeit the former is very close to C. peduncu-
lata) and the other binomials he cites are all synonyms Ss. of C-== C.
formosana Rolfe. Under "C. cuspidata Roxb." he places, as syno-
nyms (almost unbelievably!) C. acutidens Schau., C. caudata Maxim.,
C. lancifolia Merr., C. longipes Dunn, 3 Dunn, C. micrantha Vidal, C. pi-
losissima Maxim., C. psilocalyx C. B. Clarke, Cc. rubella linda
C. sessilifolia Wall., C. tenuiflora Champ., and Mamanira Rumph.J
Of these, C. acutidens, C. caudata, C. longipes, C. C. micrantha,
C. pilosissima, C. SLs and On rubella are all valid and
distinct species, |, while Cc. lancifolia Merr. is a synonym of C.
merrillii Moldenke, C. sessilifolia Wall. and C. tenuiflora
Champ. are synonyms of C. rubella Lindl., and Mamanira alba
Rumph. is C. longifolia Lam. Because of this amazingly broad con-
cept of the species in question, his description and his state-
ment of geogravhic distribution are useless. He comments under
what he calls C. lanata Zipp. "Perhaps this species is identical
with C. cana or C. cuspidata Roxb." -- I regard it as C. peduncu-
iata R. Br.
~~ Chang (1951) includes under Cc. pedunculata the C. formosana of
Rolfe, the C. aspera of Handel-—Mazzetti, and the C. rubella f.
robusta of Pei. I follow Merrill in regarding Cc. formosana as
valid, with C. aspera as a synonym, and also accept C. rubella f.
robusta as valid. Obviously, however, C. pedunculata - is very
closely allied to C. formosana. The latter may actually be only
a variety of the former or they may even be the same taxon as
Bakhuizen (1921), Chang (1951), and others maintain.
Vernacular names recorded for C. pedunculata are "a cibulit",
"a peptipinagut", "beauty-berry", "béning-b&ning rih", "méniran",
"katoempang", tmémSni ran", "ringan", “ringan-ringan", and "wild
heliotrope".
Kajewski tells us that on Guadalcanal island when a small
baby in arms is sick the fruit of this plant is chewed with a
betel nut and spat into the baby's mouth. N. E. Brown (1890) in-
forms us that the species was introduced into cultivation in
1788 from the East Indies. According to Cummins (190) it is at-
tacked by the fungus, Uredo callicarpae Petch, as can be seen on
herbarium specimens of " Clemens & Clemens 1368, 1452, & 1453 from
Papua. The Herb. Prager r 18667 from New Britain was erroneously

Chang (1951) cites the following collections, but since he in-
cludes C. formosana Rolfe and C. rubella f. robusta P'ei in his
concept , of C. pedunculata, these citations are wholly unreliable
and I seriously doubt if any of them actually represent the true

Lam's original (191) description of this variety is "Folia
supra sparse pubescentia (pilis simplicibus), subtus laxe stellato-
puberula, glanduloso-punctata, utrinque in nervis densius vestita;
flos calyce extus laxiuscule puberulo" and bases the taxon on El-

bert 4503 & 4631 from "Wetar, Hochflache von Mangowe bei Laswer-
ang, 600--800 m." In his 1919 work he modified the description
to read "foliis supra pilis simplicibus sparsis, subtus pilis
stellatus sparsis tecta, glandulosa; nervis utrinque densius pi-
losis; calyx minus dense pubescente," and cites three collections:
(1) Blume? s.n. from Java, deposited in the Rijksherbarium at
Leiden as sheet number 908265-1115, (2) H. Hallier C.121 from
Key Island “imported into Buitenzorg and cultivated there sub
signo XI.G.l9", and (3) Elbert 503 from Mangowe, near Saiwerang,
Wetar, altitude 600—-800 meters, collected February 19, 1910. He
comments that "This variety has. an affinity with C. macrophylla,
with which some authors confound the species, by the form of its
leaves, especially in regard with the base." Kanehira & Hatusima
(1942) cite Brass 13356 & 14133 from New Guinea. This collector
found the plant ¢ growing in dense rainforests at 50 meters alti-
tude, flowering in July.
by me do not differ appreciably from typical C. pedunculata, and
probably actually represent XI.G.9a. Many sheets conprise both
collections together and are inscribed "XI.G.l9 en a",
In all, 16 herbarium specimens have been examined by me.

Lam's original (1919) description of this variety is "folia
angustiora, basi angustiori, latitudine majore supra medium, den-
tibus marginibus minutioribus; calyx pilis longis glanduliferis
vestitus." He based the variety on two cotype collections: (1)
Forsten s.n. from Tondano, Celebes, collected in May 180, and
deposited in the Rijksherbarium at Leiden as sheets number
908266-1226 & 908266-1227, and (2) Hollrung 210 from Sattel
Mountain near Finschhafen, West Irian, collected in July 1886,
and probably also deposited in the Leiden herbarium, In his
1924 work he cites only Hollrung 210. The plant has been col-
lected in flower and fruit in May and July. As yet I have seen
no material of it. In previous publications I regarded the var-
iety as invalid, but it seems to me now that the characters given
for it by Lam render it sufficiently distinct to be worthy of
nomenclatural designation,

Lam's original (1919) description of this taxon is "c gla-

it on four cotype collections, all from West Irian and probably
all deposited in the Rijksherbarium at Leiden: (1) Nyman 580
from Saedel-Mountain, altitude 750 m., collected in July 1899,
(2) Schultze 194 from Augusta River, collected in January 1913,

1910, and (h) Sch Schlechter 16731 from Winds in the Hami Mountains,
at about 800 m. altitude, collected on October 27, 1907. In his
192 work Lam cites the same four collections and no others. The
plant has been collected in anthesis in January and July and in
fruit in July and October. As yet I have seen no material of it
and in previous publications did not recognize its validity.

The species is based on Pételot 3898 and 3916, both collected
in open forests, at 1100 meters altitude, in the Massif de Tam
Dao, Tonkin, Indochina. Dop (1932) comments that "Cette espéce

A shrub, about 2 m. tall, the younger parts distinctly stel-
late-tomentose with pale-brownish hairs, the older parts glabrous;
branches terete, brownish, glabrous; branchlets very slender, the
younger parts densely stellate-tomentose; leaves decussate=
opposite; petioles about 3 mm. long, stellate-tomentose; leaf-
blades chartaceous, olivaceous above, brownish-olivaceous beneath
(in drying), lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, 11--15 cm. long, 2—
cm. wide, narrowed upwards to the very slender caudate-acuminate
apex (the acumen itself 1—-2 cm. long), prominently dentate-
serrate along the margins with somewhat apiculate teeth, obtuse
at the base, somewhat shiny and glabrous above or with the midrib
somewhat stellate-tomentose, shiny and with very numerous shiny
glands in minute pits beneath, with the midrib and sometimes the
secondaries stellate-tomentose; secondaries about 7 per side,
very prominent, arcuate-ascending, anastomosing; vein and veinlet
reticulation lax, prominent; cymes axillary, solitary, few-
flowered, very lax, to 6 cm. long and wide, dichotomously branch-
ed, more or less stellate-tomentose; peduncles about 2 cm. long;
pedicels about 0.5 mm. long, "jointed to the branchlets" (accor-
ding to Merrill); bractlets linear, 1--1.5 mm. long; calyx cupu-
liform, about 1.4 mm. long and wide, its rim truncate or very
obscurely -toothed; corolla purplish; drupes globose, about 3 mm.
in diameter, glabrous, wrinkled when dry.
The type of this species was collected by Maximo Ramos and
Gregorio E. Edafio (Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 26233) in open places
along streams, at an altitude of about 50 meters, on Mount Umin-
gan, Nueva Ecija Province, Luzon, Philippine Islands, on August
8, 1916, and was deposited in the herbarium of the Bureau of Sci-
ence at Manila, now unfortunately destroyed.
Merrill (1917) comments that this is "A species well character-
ized by its slenderly caudate-acuminate, prominently toothed, near-
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 459
ly glabrous, very prominently nerved leaves, and its lax, few-
flowered inflorescences. It is perhaps as closely allied to Cal-
licarpa dolichophylla Merr. as to any other described species, _
but is entirely different in its vegetative and inflorescence
characters."
Material of this species has been misidentified and distribu-
ted in herbaria under the names C. slegans Hayek, C. formosana
var. glabrescens Moldenke, and C. japonica var. dichotoma (Lour.)

The original description of this species by Maximowicz (1886)
is "Pilis setosis gilvis patentibus ad ramulos petiolos cymas et
paginam inferiorem foliorum dense hirsuta, foliis breve petiola-
tis ex lineari oblongolanceolatis sensim longe acuminatis basi
subcordatis obsolete serrulatis, superne pilis albidis brevioribus
dense molliter pubescentibus; pedunculis petiolos duplo superan-
tibus, cymis divaricatobifidis densiusculis, calyce hispido ob-
tuse dentato, corollae glabrae lobis tubo apice dilatato plus
triplo brevioribus, staminibus corollam stylumque leviter bilobum
triplo superantibus. Formosa (Oldham! n. 387. flor. ). Similis
Callicarpa angustae Schauer (Cuming! n no. ~ 1425) e Philippinis,
quae tamen differt pube, foliis subtus incanis basi cuneatis,
corolla extus tomentosa; nec non Callicarpa caudatae n., cujus
diagnosim inserere liceat."
Recent collectors describe this plant as a bush or shrub, 2—3
m. tall, the corollas pale-purple or violet, inhabiting mountains
and woods, to 600 m. altitude, flowering in February, September,
and December, fruiting in September. Wilson reports it "abundant
in forests" on Formosa. Vernacular names reported for it are
"8ng-bin nafig-chiong-kun", "aoge-murasaki", "hosoba-murasaki",
"kyabazyu-bazyu", "narrow-leaved beauty-berry", "rakabo", and
"Taiwan beauty-berry". The corollas on Gressitt 2h7 are described
as "pale-purple" and those on T. Kaudern an as "violet". The
C. acuminatissima Teijsm. & Binn., referred to in the synonymy a=
bove, is the name-bringing synonym of Geunsia acuminatissima
(Tei jem. & Binn.) H. J. Lam.
Henry (1896) cites A. Henry 267, Matsumura (1699) cites Owa-
tari s.n. and Tashiro 18a, while Matsumura & Hayata (1906) cite
Hayata s. 5.N., Kawakami s.n., Miyake s.n., Owatari s.n., and Tash-
iro s.n. Chang (1951) cites ; Oldham 387 (the type) and Tanaka & &
Shimada ada 1319, but the latter is re regarded by me as representing
var. henryi yi Yamamoto. Li (1963) does not regard Yamamoto's vari-
ety as distinct and cites Faurie 1468, Gressitt 2h7 & 267, A.
a gees ee es ee ef
ham 387, Owatari s.n., Price hl, Suzuki 19262 & s.n., Tanaka _
5477, Tanaka & Shimada 13419, Tashiro A.18, and E. H. Wilson
969 & 1 11088. All these collections are from Formosa, and Matsu-
mura & Hayata (1906) actually assert that the species is endemic
to that island.
Lam (1919) asserts that the species is related to C. caudata
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 461
Maxim., C. macrophylla Vahl, C. mudiflora Hook. & Arn., C. pedun-
culata R. | Br., and C. rubella Lindl. Bakhuizen van den Brink
(1921) reduces it to. synonymy under what he calls C. cuspidata
Roxb. (which I regard as C. pedunculata R. Br.), but this is mam
ifestly incorrect.
Material of C. pilosissima has been misidentified and distribu-
ted in herbaria under the names C. cuspidata Roxb., C. longifolia
Lam., and C. rubella Lindl. On the other hand, the Kanehira &
Suzuki s.n. . [Herb. Nat. Taiwan Univ. 21012], Keng s.n. $.n. a oe
Wilson 9649 & 11088, 088, distributed and cited by some aan as

In all, 20 herbarium specimens of the typical form of this spe-
cies have been examined by me.

Yamamoto's original (193) description of this variety is
"*Callicarpa sp. nov. in Sched. Herb. Bort. Bot. Nov. Eborac. Ramus
tenuiter, ubique villosus. Folia petiolata, elongato- vel lineari-
lanceolata, 15--22 cm longa, 2.5—-3.5 cm lata, apice sensim lineari-
acuminata vel longe caudata et ad summum obtusa, basi obtusissima
vel rotundata raro subcordata, margine minute serrata, supra pagina
plus minusve purpurascentia, subtus pallida, utrinque pubescentia,
supra ad costam et venas dense villosissima; petiolis brevibus 5 m
longis ubique villosissimis. Cymae divericatae, pedunculis petiolo
triplo superantibus molliter hirsutis,."
The type of the variety was collected by Augustine Henry (no.
120) at Bankinsing, Formosa, and is deposited in the Britton Herba-
rium at the New York Botanical Garden. Yamamoto (193) cites also
Yamamoto 2366 from Mount Rugatsuzan and comments that "This varie-
ty differs from the species in having thinner longer petioled
leaves which are not as densely pubescent as the form Maximowicz
described". He records the vernacular name "usuba-murasakishikibu".

Recent collectors describe this plant as a semi-woody bush, 2—
5 m. tall, the stems to 7 cm. in diameter, the corollas pale-
purple (Gressitt 247), pink (Lau 20149), or pinkish (Keng s.n.),
and the fruit purple [or white?]. It has been found in flower in
February, June, July, and October, and in fruit in January, June,
October, and November, at 550 m. altitude, inhabiting roadsides.
Wilson reports it as "common" or "abundant in forests" on Formosa.
Vernacular names are the one previously mentioned and "mai tap
kong".
Chang (1951) cites only the type collection, A. Henry 120.
Gressitt makes the very ambiguous statement "fruit purple, white"
-- exactly what he means by this is not clear.
Material of this variety has often been misidentified and dis-
tributed in herbaria as typical C. pilosissima Maxim. or under
the cheironymous misspelling "C. pilossissima Maxim."
In all, 17 herbarium specimens, including the type collection,
and one mounted photograph of this variety have been examined by
me.

Merrill's original (1918) description of this species is as
follows: "A tree about 8 m. high, the branches 1 cm. in diameter
or less, glabrous, somewhat angled, the branchlets densely
puberulent with pale dirty brown indumentum. Leaves subcoriace-
ous, oblong-elliptic or obovate-elliptic, entire, slenderly sub-
caudate-acuminate, base acute, 35 to 50 cm. long, 18 to 20 cm.
wide, the upper surface glabrous, olivaceous, shining, the lower
very densely covered with minute matted, pale, puberulent hairs,
the individual hairs not evident under an ordinary lens; lateral
nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, very prominent on
the lower surface as are the subparallel primary reticulations,
curved, anastomosing; petioles stout, densely puberulent, angled,
to Ph cm. long. Cymes axillary, peduncled, rather densely
stellate-—pubescent with pale hairs, dichotomous, about 7 cm long
and 9 cm wide, the bracts linear-lanceolate, h to 5 mn long, the
bracteoles numerous, similar to the bracts but about 1 mm long.
Calyx truncate, cup-shaped, 3 mm in diameter, glabrous or nearly
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 463
so. Fruits globose, about 3.5 mm in diameter."
The species is based on Philip. Forest. Bur. 26967, collected
by José Maria Velasco in forests, at about 50 meters altitude, at
Pamplona, Cagayan Province, Luzon, Philippines, on August 9, 1917,
and was deposited in the herbarium of the Philippine Byreau of
Science at Manila before its destruction during World War II.
Merrill comments that this is "A most remarkable species, well
characterized by its very large, entire, slenderly acuminate
leaves, which are glabrous above and densely matted puberulent on
the lower surface with a pale-brownish, shining non-stellate in-
dumentum; glands, if present, are entirely obscured by the indu-
mentum."
So far I have seen only one herbarium specimen and 2 mounted
photogravhs of this species.

Merrill's original (1928) description of this species in its
English version is as follows: "A shrub about 2 m high; the
branchlets and the lower surface of the leaves densely stellate-
tomentose with rather soft, plumose and stellate hairs; branches
terete or somewhat compressed at the nodes, pale grayish, the
plumose indumentum castaneous. Leaves subcoriaceous, lanceolate,
21 to 34 cm long, 6 to 10 cm wide, entire, narrowed upward to the
more or less falcate apex, acutely acuminate, base acute, the up-
per surface green, smooth, glabrous, the lower surface densely
pale stellate-pubescent, not at all glandular, the indumentum on
the midrib and nerves plumose, more or less castaneous; lateral
nerves distant, 9 or 10 on each side of the midrib, very promin-
ent, curved, the reticulations distinct; petioles densely tomen-
tose, 2 to 3 cm long. Cymes axillary, many-flowered, dichotomous,
very densely castaneous-plumose-tomentose, pedunculate, 3.5 to
5.5 cm long; flowers somewhat crowded, their pedicels 0.5 to 1 m
long; calyx membranaceous, cup-shaped, shortly l-lobed, densely
stellate-plumose, 1.5 to 1.75 mm long and 1.5 to 1.75 cm in dian-
eter; corolla membranaceous, l-lobed, 3.5 to 3.75 mm long, the
lobes 0.75 mm long, about 1 mm wide, oblong-ovate, subacute; sta-
mens , exserted, 5.5 to 6 mm long; anthers oblong, about 1.25
mm long; the filaments very slender; style very slender, about 6

The type of this species was collected by Maximo Ramos and
Gregorio E. Edafio along forested streams, at about 00 meters al-
titude, at San Mariano, in Isabela Province, Luzon, Philippine
Islands, and is Philip. Bur. Sci. 46928, deposited in the herbar-
ium of ‘she Philippine Bureau of Science at Manila, now destroyed.
Merrill comments (1928): "A species characterized. by its lanceo-
late, entire leaves, which are green and glabrous above and
densely pale stellate-pubescent beneath, the indumentum on its
branchlets, and inflorescences being plumose and castaneous."
Recent collectors describe the plant as 2 m. tall, the stems
h--6 cm. in diameter, the corollas yellow [Herb. Philip. Bur.
Sci. 46928], the stamens whitish-blue [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci.
4.7121], the pollen yellow, and the fruit violet. It has been
found growing in secondary forests at low altitudes and along
forest streams, to 00 m, altitude, flowering in February, March,
and August, and fruiting in February. Material has been misiden-
tified and distributed in herbaria as C. erioclona Schau.
In all, 10 herbarium specimens, including the type collection,
and 2 mounted photographs of this species have been examined by
me.

The species is based on Poilane 8265 from Annam, Chevalier
31781, Harmand s.n., and Poilane ilane 17611 . from Cambodia, Pierre 5226
from Cochinchina, and Pierre s.n. from Thailand. Dop (1932) com=
ments that "Cette espéce est trés voisine du C. angustifolia
King et Gamble......dont elle se rapproche par la cr&te inter-
oétiolaire. La structure de la fleur est la méme, avec cependant
une différence importante. Dans C. Poilanei l'ovaire est presque
glabre, tandis qu'il est villeux dans l'espece de King et Gamble.
Des différences plus facilement visibles s'accusent dans la forme
des feuilles et leur revStement. Dans mon espéce les feuilles
sont elliptiques-oblongues et non lancéolées, aigués et non lon-
guement attenuées a la base, brusquement acuminées-caudées et non
aigués-attemuées au sommet. Presque entieres dans l'espéce de
King et Gamble les feuilles de C. Poilanei sont sinuées-denticu-
1ées et m&me abondamment sinuées-dentées. Enfin le tomentum da
la face inférieure est beaucoup plus fin que dans C. angusti-
folia."
In all, 9 herbarium specimens of this species, including co-
type collections, have been examined by me.

Detailed descriptions and discussions of this species have
been given by me in previous publications. Recent collectors de-
scribe it as a large shrub, 5 m. tall, with white corollas
[Moore 3392, Pennell 17918], growing in mixec woods, low tropi-
cal woods, tropical forests, and on rocky limestone areas, at al-
titudes of 50 to 1200 meters. Trey have found it in flower from
June to August and in fruit in June and August.
Standley (192)) distinguishes it from the very closely related
and perhaps conspecific C. acuminata H.B.K. as follows:
Leaves persistently but minutely stellate—pubescent on the upper
SUPLACE 1. cece cc ccccceccccccscccccccsccscoscesce acuminata.
Leaves glabrous on the upper surface except when very
YOUNZ oo ccccccccccccccccccceccscccccsccccsssccesele pringlei.
As I have stated in previous publications, it is probable
that Briquet's plant deserves no more than varietal or form sta-
tus under C. acuminata, since so many intermediate specimens ex—
ist. Gaumer, in fact, suggested "C. acuminata H.B.K. form?" on
the labels of one of his collections.
The type of C. americana Sessé & Moc. is Sessé, Mocifio, Cas=
tillo, & Maldonado 519 [ic. no. 293], deposited in the Madrib
herbarium.
It should be pointed out here that the C. americana of Linnae-
us, referred to in the synonymy above, is a valic species, with
the homonyms attributed to Lamarck, to Roxburgh, and to Willdenow
as synonyms, while the C. americana of Blanco is C. formosana
Rolfe, that of Loureiro is C. candicans (Burm. f.) Hochr., that
attributed to Thunberg is C. japonica Thunb., and that attributed
to horticultural origin is C. longifolia Lam.

Clarke's original (1885) description of this plant is "arbor-
escent, leaves elliptic acuminate denticulate mature nearly gla-
brous, cymes small short-peduncled stellately villous, calyx men—
branous in flower glandular scarcely hairy. Khasia Mts., alt. h-
5000 ft.; Wallich, J. D. H., &c. A small tree; branchlets dense-
ly stellate-tomentose. Leaves 8 by 2 3/h in., or 21/2 by 1 in.,
base rounded or cuneate thinly membranous, mature with scattered
stellate hairs on the midrib beneath, tertiary venation close
prominent, glands minute scattered; petiole 1/8 --1/ in. Ped-
uncles mostly very short; cymes usually few-fld.; pedicels some-
times pink. Calyx 1/2) in., minutely )-toothed, greenish or
pinkish minutely gland-dotted, with a few scattered hairs when
young whiteish or membranous in fruit. Corolla pink. Fruit
scarcely 1/12 in. diam. — C. longifolia Benth, Fl. Hongk. 270
(not of Lamk.), in the glabrous calyx, inflorescence, and struc-
ture of leaves comes very near this; but in that the leaves are
linear-lanceolate, and the fruit very much larger."
Bentham's plant, referred to above, is now regarded a being C.
longissima (Hems1.) Merr. eT
Recent collectors describe C. psilocalyx as a straggling
shrub or small tree, about 2 m. tall, the corollas pink-violet or
purple. They have found it growing in wet evergreen forests, at
altitudes of 00—600 meters, flowering in May and August, fruit-
ing in August. Smitinand describes it as "common in evergreen
jungles" in Thailand. Deb (1961) records it from Manipur, India.
The corolla is describes as "purple" on Smitinand 837 and as
"pink-violet" on Larsen, Santisuk, & Warncke 3232.
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 69
Rehder (1916) asserts that C. psilocalyx is related to C. bod-
inieri var. giraldii (Hesse) Rehd., differing from that taxon
"chiefly in its densely pubescent branchlets, in its long-acumin-
ate leaves usually obtuse or rounded at the base, shorter petioles,
smaller inflorescences, and in the filaments scarcely exceeding
the corolla-lobes"., Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces it
to what he calls C. cuspidata Roxb., while Fletcher (1938) cites
actually C. longifolia Lam.
In all, 4 herbarium specimens of C. psilocalyx have been ex-
amined by me.

This species is based on Mrs. Clemens 1167 from Camp Keithley,
Lake Lanzo, Mindanao, Philippine Islands, collected in September,
1907, and s.n. collected at the same locality in July, 1907, both
deposited in the herbarium of the Philippine Byreau of Science at
Manila, but now unfortunately destroyed. Merrill (1908) comments
that this is "A species well characterized by its large leaves,
and fascicled, congested, short cymes which are from the branches
below the leaves."
Lam (1919) cites M. Ramos 15278 from Dagana, Leyte, Philippine
Islands, and states that the species grows also on M;ndanao. He
asserts that it is related to C. cauliflora Merr., which he dis-
tinguishes in his key by its leaf—blades being acute or cuneate
to attenuate at the base. Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces
Cc. ramiflora to the synonymy of what he calls C. pentandra var.
typica f. hexandra Bakh. [now known as Geunsia - hexandra (Teijsm.
& Binn.) Koord.], under which name specimens imens have been misidenti-
fied and distributed in herbaria.
Callicarpa ramiflora has been found growing along forest
streams, at an altitude of 1000 meters, flowering in August, and
fruiting in November and December. The fruits mounted in a separ—
ate packet on Ramos & Edafio s.n. [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 7533]
in the herbarium of the Uni University of California at Berkeley may
not belong to this plant; the corollas of this collection are
described as "pinkish-blue", but Lam (1919) avers that in the
species under discussion here they are "white",
The M. Ramos s.n. [Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 4150], cited under
C. cauliflora Merr. in the present series of notes, bears a strik-
ing resemblance to C. ramiflora.

This species is based on Ue Mori 7023 from Randaizan, Formosa,
collected in August, 1908, while Cc. parvifolia Hayata iS based on
Kawakami & Mori 2879 from Daimari, , Taite, Formosa. The species
has been found growing in pierces and Pa and on mountain-
tops, at altitudes of 1165 to 2600 meters, flowering in June, July,
and September, and fruiting in July, September, October, and De-
cember. Vernacular names recorded for it are "Luanta beauty-
berry", "randai-murasaki", and "small-leaved beauty-berry". Hay-
ata (1911) says that it is "near Callicarpa japonica Thunb., from
which the present plant differs in having lanceolate leaves. Al-
so near C. gracilis Sieb. et Zucc. and C. elegans Hayek, but dif-
fers from the former by the more conspicuously serrulate leaves,
and from the latter, in having less acuminate, more hairy, leaves
and larger flowers."
Nakai (1922) is of the opinion that "Callicarpa parvifolia is
a young branch of C. randaiensis having still folding leaves and
very young flower-buds. This species is very closely related to
C. japonica, only differing by the slenderer stalks and narrower
leaves."
Bailey (1935) states that C. randaiensis is offered to the
horticultural trade by a nurseryman in Taihoku.
Hui-Lin Li (1963) reduces the species to synonymy under C. ja-
ponica var. angustata Rehd., saying "The reduction of C. randai-
ensis Hayata is made on the basis of the type and the original
description. Callicarpa parviflora Hayata has been previously
reduced to the synonymy of C. randaiensis by Kanehira." He cites
Mori 7023 (which he says is the type pe collection), Kanehiea 2878,
Kawakami & Mori 2878 & 2879, Matuda 197 & s.n., Suzuki 6986 & 8 & Ss.
n., and E. H. H. Wilson 10848. Chang Chang (1951) cites nos. 3047 & 72751
from Formosa, but the collectors and/or herbarium names are, un-
fortunately, given only in Chinese characters. He compares * the
species with C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch, but, again, only in
Chinese. He erroneously cites C. pare belis Book, & Arn. to "Bot.
Beechey's Voy. 295. 1836", but this binomial was actually pub-
lished on page 305 of that work and the date of publication of
the part containing that page is 1838.
The corollas of C. randaiensis are described as "pink" on
Gressitt 315 and as - tpurple" on Gressitt 374. Material of the
species has been misidentified and distributed in herbaria under
the names C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch and C. longifolia longis-
sima Hemsl. The H. H. Bartlett 6082 collection, in fact, was
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 473
originally distributed as C. longifolia longissima Hemsl., then
"corrected" to C. longissima (Hemsl.) Merr., and then to C. longi-
folia f. floccosa Schau.
ae i all, 19 herbarium specimens and 1 mounted photograph of C.
randaiensis have been examined by me.

This variety differs from the typical form of the species in
having its leaves thin-membranous, very small, 2—1),.5 cm. long,
7--1 mm. wide, narrowly elliptic, long-acuminate at the apex,
cuneate-acuminate at the base, finely appressed-serrulate from
below the middle to the base of the terminal acumination, and
glabrous on both surfaces.
The type of the variety was collected by Hyon Pia Chong at
Wan-Do, Korea, on October 29, 1950, and is deposited in the her-
barium of the University of California at Berkeley. The Korean
vernacular name for the plant is said to be "chhom-chaksal-=namu".
The type collection was originally misidentified and distributed
as C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch.
In all, only 2 herbarium specimens, including the type, have
been seen by me of this variety.

Collectors have encountered this species in anthesis and fruit
in April and November and report the vernacular name "filigrana".
José P. Carabia has stated to me personally that it is rather
certain that the type collection, previously cited by me as ques-
tionably from Oriente, Cuba, actually came from the province of
Pinar del Rfo, on the opposite end of the island. It should also
be noted here that I am now of the opinion that this species may
actually be the same as what is now passing as C. fulva var.
glabrescens Moldenke. More careful comparison of the specimens
involved, together with exhaustive field work, is indicated. Ma-
terial of C. resinosa has been distributed in some herbaria under
the tentative designation of "C. ferruginea var."
In all, 22 herbarium specimens of C. resinosa, including the
type, and 20 mounted photographs have been examined by me.

Sprengel (1825) asserts that this species is native to Jamai-
ca and Hispaniola, but I have not as yet seen any material of it
from Hispaniola -- and this in spite of the intensive explora-
tory work being done on this island by my friend, Alain Liogier.
Bocquillon (1863) records it from St. Thomas, but his "record"
doubtless refers to C. ampla Schau. Sagra, Grisebach, Sauvalle,
Garcia Caflizares, and other authors record it from Cuba, but all
these references are doubtless to the closely related C. cuben-
sis Urb. ~
~~ My very good friend, William T. Stearn, in a letter to me
dated March 4, 1960, says "In Fedde, Repert. 0: 82 (1936) you
say that the type of Callicarpa reticulata Swartz 'was collected
by O. P. Swartz in Jamaica'. Swartz placed, however an asterisk
against his diagnosis, which, as indicated in his preface, means
that this was not based on a specimen of his own gathering but
on material from the West Indies which he found in the herbarium
of Sir Joseph Banks (now in the British Museum (Natural History)
London). In his Flora Indiae Occidentalis 1: 253 (1797) he even
says "Species haecce, cujus descriptionem mihi praebuerunt speci-
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 477
mina in Museo Banksiano'. These specimens were gathered by W.
Wright, F. Masson and H. de Ponthieu. You then state that 'no
material of the type collection has thus far been available for
examination' but presumably from the close agreement between
Swartz's description and a W. Wright specimen in the British Mu-
seum (Nat. Hist.) you consider the latter 'to represent the true
C. reticulata'. This is a fortunate opinion, because there can
be no doubt that these Wright specimens are in fact the type-
collection! Your description thus unknowingly gives a good mod=
ern account of the type."
The C. F. Baker 5126, distributed as C. reticulata, is, of
course, like all other Cuban material so determined, actually C.
cubensis Urb. =
In all, 3 herbarium specimens of C. reticulata, including the
type, have been examined by me.

The type of the species was collected by Henry Ogg Forbes (no.
272) at an altitude of 2000--2700 feet, at Pasir Orai, Bantam,
Java, and is probably deposited in the herbarium of the British
Museum (Natural History) in London. Moore notes that "The fruit
is described from a specimen at the Museum collected by Mr. Rid=
ley on Mt. Salak."
Nothing further is known to me of this species.

Shrub, apparently sometimes subscandent, 2--5 m. tall; branches
terete or the ultimate ones somewhat compressed, along with the
branchlets very densely covered by a whitish or yellowish-white
indumentum composed of short stellate hairs with some stellate-
plumose ones intermixed; branchlets slender; leaves decussate-
opposite; petioles 0.5--1.8 cm. long, densely stellate-tomentose
with yellowish-white hairs; leaf-blades chartaceous, lanceolate
or narrow-lanceolate to narrowly lanceolate-obovate or narrowly
oblanceolate, 7--20 cm. long, 1.5—-l cm. wide, equally narrowed
and attenuate-acute at both ends or slenderly acuminate at the
apex, serrate or very minutely repand—dentate along the margins
except at the base and apex or slightly and irregularly denticu-
late above and entire on the lower half, dark and quite glabrous
above when dry or with a few stellate hairs along the midrib,
densely whitish-tomentose beneath with a dense sometimes yellow-
ish-white indumentum; secondaries about 9 pairs, arcuate-ascend-
ing, prominent beneath, anastomosing; vein and veinlet reticula-
tion abundant but obscure; inflorescence densely stellate-
tomentose with yellowish-white hairs; cymes axillary, solitary,
about 3 cm. wide or less, dichotomously branched, rather lax,
comparatively few-flowered; peduncles about as long as the sub-
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 79
tending petiole; calyx somewhat infundibular, about 2 mm. long,
extremely densely white- or grayish-puberulent to appressed-lanate
or densely stellate-hairy on the outer surface, the rim slightly
h-toothed; corolla white, about 3 mm. long, somewhat pubervlent
on the outside, the tube scarcely exserted, the limb l-lobed,
slightly pubescent or stellate-pilose externally; anthers 1.3 m,
long, glandulose on the back; drupes globose, about 3 m. wide,
glabrous, with pyrenes.
The type of this species (as well as of Lam's C. angusta var.
longifolia) was collected by Frederick William Foxworthy [Herb.
Philip. Bur. Sci. 660] on rocky riverbanks, at about 1150 meters
altitude, on Mount Victoria, Palawan, Philippine Islands, on
March 23, 1906, and was deposited in the herbarium of the Philip-
pine Bureau of Science, now destroyed. Merrill (1912) cites also
another Foxworthy collection, Herb. Philip. Bur. Sci. 719, gath-
ered on March 24, 1906, at Serepely the same locality, making
it a topotype. Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) cites these col-
lections as Foxworthy 660 & 719 and cites no other material.
Lam (1919) comments in his discussion of C. angustifolia King
& Gamble that "This species has a close affinity with C. angusta
var. @ [i.e., var. longifolia] and perhaps it will appear that
it is synonimous with it. But it seems to differ from it by the
pubescent corolla and the hardly denticulate leaves". Merrill
(1912) says of C. rivularis: "A species manifestly very closely
allied to Callicarpa angusta Schauer, differing especially in
its indumentum". Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) reduces it to
form rank under C. erioclona Schau.
Callicarpa rivularis has been collected in flower and fruit in
March and April. Material has been misidentified and distributed
in herbaria as C. angusta Schau. and the two Foxworthy collections
were actually so cited by me in a previous installment of these
notes.
In all, 6 herbarium specimens of C. rivularis, including the
type collection, have been examined by me.

Recent collectors describe this plant as a shrub, 3--l m.
tall, growing along roadsides, flowering in April, and fruiting
in January. They record the vernacular variant "filigrana del
pinar". Since the plant is also known as "filifrana fruto
blanco", one may assume that its mature fruits are white, al-
though all that I have seen (in the dried state) were black.
In all, 32 herbarium specimens of C. roigii, including the

It should be noted here that the C. cuspidata accredited to
Hasskarl in the synonymy above is actually a synonym of C. longi-
folia Lam., that accredited to Lam & Bakhuizen van den Brink is
c. C. longipes Dunn, that ascribed to Roxburgh is C. pedunculata R.
Br., and that pradibad to Bakhuizen van den Brink alone is in
part C. rubella Lindl. anc in part C. longipes Dunn; the C. japon-
ica credited to "Hort. ex Moldenke" and to Linnaeus the younger
is a synonym of C. japonica Thunb., a valid species, that credit-
ed to Matsumura and to Miquel is C. japonica var. luxurians Rehd.,
and that credited to "Thunb. auct. ex Raf." is C. longifolia Lan.;
the C. purpurea of Jussieu is C. dichotoma (Lour. ) K. Koch, while
that attributed to "Hort. ex Moldenke" is C. longifolia meg and
that ascribed to Nakai is C. japonica Thunb.
Recent collectors describe C. rubella as a large, slender, or
straggling shrub, 1--5 m. tall, bushy, diffuse, "fern-branched",
or a small tree, "the leaves light-green, viscous above, the pedi-
cels purple, the buds white, the flowers fragrant or slightly
fragrant, the calyx stellate-tomentose, the anthers golden-yellow,
the ovary pubescent, and the fruit at first green, later bright-
blue or lilac to purplish-red or purple. Rock mistakenly refers
to the drupes as "berries".
The species has been found growing on coral reefs, in semi-
shade, in woods, forests, evergreen forests, densely shaded mixed
woods, or thickets, in ravines and open ravines, and along valley
roadsides or roadsides in general, at altitudes from sealevel to
2330 meters, flowering in March and from May to November, fruit-
ing from July to January.
Deb (1961) reports the species "frequent" on hills in Manipur,
Panigrahi & Joseph (1966) say that it is "abundant" in the shrub
layer in Nefa, Panigrahi & Naik (1966) found it to be "very com-
mon in the Subansiri Frontier Division", and Prain reports it
common in jungles in the Naga Hills, India. Dee found it to be
common in open pine forests in Thailand, whilc, in the same
country, Amnak describes it as a common shrub by streams. In
Yunnan, Chin, Rock calls it a "small common shrub", while in
Kwangsi it was found by Tsang to be fairly common in roadside
meadows and fairly common as scattered shrubs in dry clay and
silt on rocky soil. The same collector in Tonkin found it "fair-
ly common in thickets on dry clayey soil".
Common and vernacular names recorded for the species are
"angro", "callicarpa rouge&tre", "callicarpe a fruits pourpres",
"chaak tsai shue", "kap ts'ing", "nam lai phi sua", "pha",
"sugroomook", "sugroo-mook", "sugrimik", and "suren". Hom re-
ports that it serves as a drug plant in Kwangtung.
Watt (1889) tells us that C. rubella is "A small tree of the
North-East Himalaya to the hills of Martaban", while Lam (191)
gives its distribution as "Punduah, Sikkim, Khasiah u. Jainteah;
China; Sumatra; Java". Actually, it seems to grow from Pakistan
and India to Thailand and Indochina, north to Hongkong and China,
48h Pr XO. 0) LO. G2 Ea Vol. 2, nov
and east to Sumatra, Krakatoa, Java, and Celebes. Bean (1951)
avers that it was introduced into cultivation {in England] in
1821, while Bailey (1935) reports that it is handled for the hor-
ticultural trade by the Knap Hill mursery.
Lam (1919) says "We could not find the reason why C. rubella
Lindl. should have the priority above C. sessilifolia -Wall., bu but
retained the first name, nevertheless, s since we found that all
authors use it." Actually, Wallich's name was published 10 years
earlier than Lindley's, but without description, and therefore is
invalid under the present rules of botanic nomenclature. Lam
cites Wallich's binomial as having been published in "1828", but
the page 50 on which it occurs was actually not issued until
1829. Lam also comments in regard to C. rubella: "Its affinity
is, especially in regard with the flowers, with C. pedunculata,
put its leaves are always cordate, subsessile and narrower,
whilst its cymes are smaller, fasciculate, not widely dichoto-
mous as in C. pedunculata". ” Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) re-
duced C, rubella Lindl., C. sessilifolia Wall., and C. tenuiflo-
ra Champ. to synonymy under what he called C. cuspidata Roxbe,
while Fletcher (1938) reduces "C. cuspidata . Roxb., in part" to
the synonymy of C. rubella! Srinivasan & Agarwal (1963) reduce
C. rubella to synonymy under what they call C. rosea Lindl.
Chang (1951) includes C. dielsii (Léveillé) Prei, C. panduri-
formis Léveillé, C. rubella rubella var. dielsii (P'ei) Li, C. rubella
var. hemsleyana Diels, and 8S, and Viburmum dielsii Léveillé in the syn-
onymy of C. rubella. However, I regard C. rubella var. hemsley-
ana and C. , rubella var. dielsii as valid varieties (with Viburm Viburnum
dielsii and Callicarpa dielsii as synonyms of the latter), and
Cc. C. panduriformis as a synonym of C. longipes Dunn.
Merrill (1919) tells us that C. ', brevipetiolata Merr. differs
from C. rubella in that it has the lower surface of its leaf-
blades completely covered with dense stellate-tomentose indumen-
tum. Regel (1863) says "Callicarpa lanata Vahl. [Abgebildet im
Botanical Magazine in Jahrgang 1861] (pag. 96 cum ic.). Ist iden-
tisch mit der in der Gartenflora 1860, pag. 56 erwahnten C. pur-
purea Hort. (Fl. des serres tab. 1359. TLD; “hort; tab’. 202) come
Vahls Name (Vahl. Symb. III. 13) als der Alteste, ist der gil-
tige. Stammt aus den tropischen Neuholland." However, I regard
Vahl's C. lanata as a synonym of C. pedunculata R. Br., which is,
indeed, native to Australia [=Neuholland], while C. rubella is
not known from that continent. It is worth noting here that the
illustrations given by Van Houtte (1858), Lemaire & Verschaffelt
(1859). and Regel (1860) are all mis-labeled "Callicarpa purpurea"
[a very different species, now known as C. dichotoma (Lour.) K.
Koch] but truly represent C. rubella. a
The corolla of C. rubella is described as "pink" on Dee 973,
Hom 142, and W. T. Tsang 2297 & 29133, "mauve" on W. R. }. Sykes

on Levine & McClure 258/7177, "purplish" on Ching ing 5922, "purplish-
rose” on Forrest 8393, and mwhite" on Chevalier ier 1708 a and Ying 772.
Lindley (1825) says "This species of Callicarpa i is well dis-
tinguished from all others of the genus by the peculiar outline
of its leaves, which are sessile and approaching almost to pandur-
iform, with a long taper point. It was brought from China, in
1822, * tor the Horticultural Society, by the late Mr. John Potts.
Our drawing was made in the Chiswick Garden, in May last."
Ptei (1932) describes his f. angustata as follows: "Leaves
thickly chartaceous, densely pubescent with stellate hairs, indu-
mentum denser beneath, lanceolate oblong to oblanceolate-oblong,
broadened above the middle, acuminate, base cordate, sessile,
glandular on both surfaces, 8.5 cm. x *0 cm., 11.2 ca. x cm.,
11.7 cm. x 2.3 cm., 15 cu. *x uy cm. Peduncles 1 to 1.8 cm. long.
Fruit 0.25 cm. in diameter." He does not designate a type, but
bases the form on Forrest 7869 & 8393, A. Henry 212, 912, &
gl2a, J. F. Rock 2915; 6932, | & 7101, and Schneider _ S191, Ae
from Yiinnan, China. He describes his f. crenata as having the
“Leaves thin, chartaceous, densely pubescent with simple hairs,
densely glandular on both surfaces, oblanceolate, cordate, apex
acuminate, crenately serrate, 4.5 cm. x 1.2 ca., 6 cm. X : 1 cn.,
8.2 cm. x 2. 5 em. Peduncles 0.6 to 0 -9 cm. long. Fruit 0.1 to
0.15 cm. in diameter." Again, he designates no type, but bases
the form on R. C. Ching 1610 & 5922, Tsiang 1618, and Ying 772,
870, & 1155, “all from (he says) Kwangsi, China. However, speci-
mens of Ying 772 and 1155 which I have seen bear labels indicat-
ing that they were collected in Kwangtung.
The type of Callicarpa sessilifolia is Wallich 1837 from
"Pundua", The Wallich, Numer. List "49" [=50] reference, where
this binomial first occurs, is erroneously dated "1828" by some
writers.
For C. violacea Korth. Lam (1919) says "see: Korthals. Verband
over de Natuurl. Gesch. der Ned. 0. I. bezittingen 1839-—'2.
Botanie: nomen nudum?", but I fail to find this binomial mention-
ed anywhere in this work.
Maximowicz (1886) cites Forbes s.n. and Wright s.n. from Hong-
kong, Sampson s.n. from "pluribus locis" in Kwang Kwangtung ("prov.
Canton"), and and "tum in Himalaya: Khasia! et Pendjab!" Forbes &
Hemsley (1890) add a Champion s.n, from Hongkong and give the
overall distribution of the species as "Sikkim, Khasia, and
Jaintea mountains, India". Rehder (1916) cites C. Wright 380 and
C. Ford s.n. from Hongkong and A. Henry 9412 & 9i12a and C. Schn-
eider 3161 from Yiinnan, commenting "The Yunnan specimens agree
with those from Hongkong except that the pubescence on the upper
surface of the leaves is shorter and denser", P'ei (1932) cites
for what he regards as the typical form of the species only Ford
s.n., Wright s.n., and Chun 65), all from Hongkong, with the
4,86 PHY TOLOG ZA Vol. 21, no. 7
comment "Distribution: Formosa to Indo-China and reported from
India and the Malay Archipelago. This differs from its allies by
its obovate leaves which are sessile or subsessile and more or
less cordate. Ovary glandular. Fruit 0.15 in diameter, densely
pubescent when young. The species varies very much in its shape
of leaves, length of peduncles and petioles."
Lam (1919) cites the following specimens seen by him: GREATER
SUNDA ISLANDS: Buton: Elbert 281). Java: Elbert 337 (Le--908 .267
-11)1), s.n. [Nov. 1907] (Le--908 .267-11)2); Junghuhn s.n. [Unga-
rang, Medinie] (Le--908.267-11)3). Sumatra: Korthals 5816.
Van Houtte (1858) describes the history of the species as fol-
lows: "C'est dans une des serres de notre collégue, M. Aug. van
Geert, horticulteur en cette ville, que nous avons fait dessiner
et peindre le modéle qui a servi a ’ exécuter la planche ci-contre.
Introduit en Angleterre par M. Standish, le Dr. Lindley suppose
qu'il provient de l'un des voyages qu'a faits en Chine le céiébre
voyageur, M. Fortune, auquel nous devons tant de reconnaissance
pour le bien qu'il a fait A lthorticulteur} Dans ces derniers
temps ne l'a-t-il pas presq'alimentée tout seul avec Lobb, en
nous apportant de ces plantes impérissables, de ces végétaux fit
for the million, dont on ne se lasse jamais et dont le commerce
horticole tire tant de profit et les amateurs tant de jouissances
vives et incessantes}
"Nous reproduisons aussi, comme pendant a notre dessin celui
qu'en a donné le Gardeners' Chronicle. Mais cette plante, connue
dans le commerce sous le nom de Callicarpa purpurea et que nous
figurons ici, ne serait pas l'espéce dont elle porte le NOM .ceces
ce nom de purpurea est donc tout provisoire, et l'indication da
se patrie nous fait aussi défaut; il efit été aisé cependant de
s'en enquérir auprés de M. Standish, si tant est que celui-ci
s'inquiéte de ces bagatelles.
"Quoi qu'il en soit, disons qu'ici la plante a gelé jusqu'a
terre et qu'au printemps suivant elle a vigoureusement repoussé
du pied, cela donne la mesure de son degré de rusticité. Donec,
serre froide en Belgique, plein air, rusticité, plus au Sud.
Fleurissant au commencement de 1'été, elle est couverte vers
l'automne de ses trés nombreuses et irds jolies baies d'un lilas
purpurin qu'elle conserve pendant tout l'hiver. -- Sa multiplica-
tion par voie boutures, a défaut de graines, est des plus faciles."
Masters (1859) gives this account: "No plant excited more in-
terest at the last autumn meeting of the Horticultural Society in
St. James's Hall, than a little shrub from Mr. Standish, of Bag-
shot, loaded with the most beautiful shining deep violet berries.
Few had seen such a species before, or suspected what it might be;
the fact being that Callicarpa, the genus to which it belonged,
has never before produced the beautiful fruit, from which its bo-
tanical name has been formed. The accompanying figure will convey
a good idea of its general appearance.
"Not having seen the flowers or the old leaves, we are in some
doubt to what species of Callicarpa it should be referred; and in
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 487
selecting that called purpurea we by no means overlook the possi-
bility of its proving botanically distinct. In the form of the
leaves, and the proportional size of the clusters of berries, it
agrees very well; but the hairiness is that of C. rubella, quite
a different plant. But these Callicarpas certainly vary much in
hairiness at different periods of growth and under different cir—
cumstances. All that we can say for the present is that it seems
to be a state of C. purpurea, the Porphyra dichotoma of Loureiro;
but that it may possibly be the C. lasiantha, At all events it
is a most interesting little greenhouse shrub, brought from China,
we believe by Mr. Fortune. What makes it so extremely useful is
that its berries retain their beautiful colour till long after
Christmas. Some indeed now before us are as brilliant as they
were in November."

Léveillé's orisinal (1911) description of this taxon is "Planta
tota villosa; rami hispido glandulosi, brunnei; folia 8--9 x 3--\
em. fusco-viridia, subtus pallidiora, oblonga, caudato-acuminata,

calyces hispido-glandulosi; calyx urceolatus, vix crenatus; fruc-
tus nigrescens, primum inclusus, opacus, glaber."
P'ei comments (1932): "I have seen fragments of the type at
the Arnold Arboretum. It appears to me to be closely related to
Callicarpa longipes Dunn, the difference being the truncate calyx
of Callicarpa Dielsii (Lévl.) P'ei while that of C. longipes Dunn.
is toothed. iWhen more abundant material is available it may be
that this species will be found to be the same as some of the
Kwangtung forms of Callicarpa rubella Lindl." He describes his
C. rubella var. hemsleyana f. subglabra as follows: "A type rece-

The type of Viburnum dielsii was collected by Pierre Julien
Cavalerie (no. 385) at Pin-fa, Kweichow, China, on September h,
1902. Li (19) describes the taxon as "A glabrescent variety of
the widely distributed species". Recent collectors describe it
as a woody or semi-woody shrub, 1--2 m. tall, the leaves almost
glabrous, the flowers fragrant, the corollas white, and the fruit
yellow (when immature?) or black. It has been found growing in
clay or sandy soil, along roadsides, at altitudes of 50--900 m.,
flowering in January, June to September, and November, and fruit-
ing in July and August. While Ching calls it "rare" in Chekiang,
Tsang refers to it as "fairly common scattered shrubs" in Kwangsi
and "fairly common" in Kwangtung.

The original description of this taxon by Diels (1900) is
"Foliis brevissime petiolatis demum supra sparse setulosis subtus
glandulosis atque in nervis venisque sparse stellato-pilosis mar-
gine crenato-serratis serraturis quam eis typi magis distinctis.
2m hohes Baumchen mit 7,5 cm Stamm-Umfang. Blattspreite 10—-12 x

Aug.!). Sehr auffallend durch die ae Reduction des Indumentes
(die in Sud-China sich tibrigens bereits anbahnt). Sonst von etwas
starkerer Serratur abgesehen kaum vom Typus (HB.) verschieden."
The collector here referred to is Baron A von Rosthorn and the
type locality is in Szechuan; the year of collection was 1891.
Rehder (1916) cites also Veitch Exped. 4318 from Szechuan and
notes "This variety differs from the type of the species only in
the slighter pubescence of the leaves and in their somewhat
coarser serration. In ‘Wilson's specimen, however, the under sur—
face of the leaves is much more densely pubescent than in Rost-
horn's specimen, but their dentation is much coarser and very un-
equal, the largest teeth being 6--8 mm. long and bearing from 1--
3 small teeth near their base; the leaves measure up to 18 cm.
in length and to 10 cm. in width."

that the Chaffanjon 231, which he cites, is the type collection
of C. panduriformis Léveillé and this taxon has been reduced to
synonymy under C. longipes Dunn. P'ei comments in regard to C.
rubella var. hemsleyana: "This variety differs from its type by
its less pubescent leaves and longer peduncles", saying nothing
about the serration of the leaf-margins.
Recent collectors describe the plant as a small shrub, 1—2 m.
tall, with yellow stamens, anc have found it growing in the shade
of woods or in light woods and open thickets, at altitudes of
500--900 meters, flowering from May to August, and fruiting in
September and November. The corollas are described as ae

Plei's original description of this form (1932) is "A robust
plant, leaves densely pubescent on both surfaces, obovate to ovate-
elliptic, shortly acuminate, base cordate, 6.5 to 11 cm. long, 3
to 6 cm. wide. The densely pubescent petioles are short, not ex-

Since he has des ieneted no geccttie type, all his citations must
be regarded as cotypes.
The plant has also been collected along streamsides and a ver-
nacular name for it is "lo hai ngan". The form is obviously very
similar to C. formosana Rolfe and I am not convinced that it is
really a form of C. rubella. It was reduced by Chang (1951)to C.
pedunculata R. Br., to which he also reduces C, formosana. Tsang
[Tak] 850 was cited by me as C. formosana in Phytologia ly: 221 &

tomentoso; drupa depressa globosa 3 mm. diam. S.j; Kotta Djawa,
Lampongs, 300 ft. 1355c. The relatively short and broad almost
entire leaves are a striking feature of the species."
My own observation, however, is that the leaf-blades are plain-
ly dentate on some specimens of this plant. It is obviously
closely related to C. erioclona Schau.
In all, 3 herbarium specimens of what is probably a part of
the type collection, and 1 mounted photograph of C. rudis have
been examined by me. eth

two auriculiform, bullate sacs 1 — 11/2 cm long} margin shortly
dentate; blade proper c. 10--17 by 5--11 cm, in some specimens
markedly anisophyllous; petiole 1/2 -- 1 1/2 em. Cymes fairly
many-flowered, axillary on the old wood, c. 2 -——- 2 1/2 cm long.
Flowers h-merous . Calyx outside densely and shortly brown stel-
late-hairy, inside sparsely stellate-hairy, hypanthium in flower
thicker upwards; fruit calyx more distinctly cup-shaped with
minute teeth. Corolla tube twice as tong as the ); oblong blunt
lobes, in total c. 71/2 mm long. Stamens not protruding, style
slightly so. Ovary l-celled, each cell with 2 dissepiment-
attached ovules. Fruit almost globular, c. mm 4, with scat-
tered, yellow, pulverulent glands (as on the ovary), breaking up
into 8 segmental pyrenes; pericarp withering; each pyrene contain-
ing a small seed without endosperm and with 2 cotyledons ina
small outer cavity; besides all pyrenes with an inner empty, air-
filled cavity, obviously capable of floating."
The type of this curious species was collected on a hillslope
at Bt Iju, Ulu Arip, Balingian, at an altitude of 60 meters, Sara-
wak (Sarawak Herb. 23637), and is deposited in the herbarium of
the Rijksherbarium at Leiden. Van Steenis (1967) cites also
Ashton $.18286, Hirano & Hotta 1113, LE. Wright $.23866, and Sara-
waesomt pee: led | PU DATO AGE Raa —
wak Herb. 23773 & : 23728, all from Sarawak. He comments "From the
lowland to c. 450 m, on hill slopes, land slips along river,
clayey or sandy-clay soils. Ashton noted of his specimens that
branches are weak and sagging to the ground. The fruit is red or
bright red, petals, stamens, and style white; all parts covered
with rusty hairs." He also. remarks that "The species makes part
of an assemblage of rusty-rough-haired species of Borneo and the
Philippines. Its most remarkable feature is the sac-like auricles
at the base of the blade, reminding exactly of those of some
tropical American Melastomataceae belonging to the group of gen-
era Tococa, lhiyrmedone, liaieta, Microphysca, and Calophysa, which
have a similar formicarium. Of course, some other plants have
glandular auricles, as Adenia, but these are much smaller and not
ant-inhabited, like in ours. Thus it represents another example
of convergence among formicaria (compare Beccari, Malesia 2: 23).
In looking up some literature on the American genera mentioned a-
bove I found that Gleason (in Pulle, Fl. Surin. 3, 1935, 235) re-
marked that in Tococa guianensis 'formicaria are sometimes absent';
whether he means from some specimens or only occasionally from
some leaves is not quite clear. Anyway, in this new Callicarpa
all leaves possess these unique sacs. It is remarkable that the
cauliflorous inflorescences (only collected by Ashton) differ
markedly in structure from the axillary ones. This is also found
in C, involucrata.....; they are hardly branched fascicles on
knobs.....Affinity. Doubtless allied to C. havilandii (K. & G.)
H. J. Lam, C. superposita lierr., C. barbata Hidl., C. fulvohirsuta
Merr., all of Borneo; but the affinity affects also some Philippine
species. The present occasion shows the need of a thorough revis-—
ion of this sroup."
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 95
The species is known to me only from the literature. It should
be noted here, however, that if Van Steenis is correct in assign-
ing this plant to the genus Callicarpa, it will be the first
known species in the genus to have two ovules per ovary-cell and
8 seeds in the 8-segmented pyrenes.

The original description of this taxon by Griffitn (1848) is
merely "1390. Frutex humilis ramosus baccis albis. Hazoo." Hill
(1933) states that it is native to Khasia, India. Razi (1959)
cites it as "ASSAM: Khasias" and claims that it is mentioned in
Journ. Bot. Lond. 63: 406 (1925), but I fail to find it there; in
fact, the pages do not go that high in that volume. Nothing is
known to me of this taxon except what is said of it in the lit-
erature listed above.

Recent collectors have found this plant growing near brooks,
flowering and fruiting in August. The Acufia & Roig 16765, dis-
tributed as C. shaferi, is actually the type collection of C.
cubensis var. parviflora Moldenke. Cuesta 1017 and Ekman 11909 &
17930, previously cited by me as anomalous C. shaferi, are also
now better placed in C. cubensis var. parviflora.
In all, 16 herbarium specimens of C. shaferi, including the
type, and 10 mounted photographs has been examined by me.

In his original publication of this binomial Makino (1892) said
merely "sp. nov. Tosamurasaki. Tosa: Iburi, Mt. Imano (T. Makino)".
Since the name can be associated with a specimen, it is thus not a
true nomen nudum but is what is called a hyponym in the original
definition of that term. Makino validated the name in 190); by means
of the following description: "A small tree; branchlets slender,
pulvereo—pubescent with curved short mimte hairs, mixed with min-

now called C. dichotoma (Lour.) K. Koch, says "Hier scheint sich

Makino's original (1910) description of this plant is as fol-
lows: "A small deciduous shrub, ramose; branches terete, umber;
branchlets erect-patent, rather thinly (but denser towards the top)
adpressedly covered with stellate hairs; bud densely covered with
1971 Moldenke, Monograph of Callicarpa 99
stellate hairs. Leaves petiolate, opposite, obovato-lanceolate,
obovato-oblong, elliptical, but often ovato-elliptical in the in-
ferior ones, abruptly caudato-acuminate at the apex, acute or ob-
tuse at the base, serrate, chartaceous, shortly thin-puberulent
and minutely thin-granulato-glandular above, sparingly stellato-
hairy and minutely granulato-glandular beneath, 2 1/2 — 11 cm.
long, 11/2 — 3 3/h cm. broad; midrib prominent beneath; veins
about 5--8 on each side, erect-patent, somewhat arcuate upwards;
veinlets finely reticulated beneath; petiole rather thinly cov-
ered with stellate hairs, 4--11 mm. long. Cymes axillary, small,
much shorter than the leaves but exceeding the petiole, many and
densely flowered, peduncled; peduncle strict, usually longer than
the petiole, densely or thinly covered with stellate hairs, at-
taining about 10 mm. long in flower; branches and pedicels short,
thinly covered with simple forked and stellate patent hairs;
bracts minute, linear, obtuse, ciliated, deciduous, very rarey
leafy and about 1 cm. long; bracteoles usually shorter than the
pedicels. Flowers small, lilac; pedicel shorter than the flower.
Calyx short-campanulate, -fid with obtuse sinuses, viridescent,
thinly pubescent and ciliated with simple forked and stellate pa-
tent hairs, dispersed with mimute granular glands, about 2 m,
long in flower, persistent and slightly enlarged in fruit; lobes
deltoid, subobtuse. Corolla exserted, scarcely longer than
twice of the calyx, dispersed with minute granular glands exter-
nally; limb patent, -fid; lobes orbicular; tube campanulate,
longer than the limb. Stamens , exserted, erect, inserted at
the base of the corolla-tube; anther rather large, lato-oblong,
bifid at the base, nearly 2 m. long, covered with minute granu-
lar glands towards the connective on both sides; filaments fili-
form, glabrous. Style erect, exceeding the stamens in height,
filiform, gradually enlarged above, glabrous; stigma thickish,
obliquely truncate; ovary globular. Fruit violet, globose,
smooth, 4-6 mm. across, more or less exceeding the persistent
hirtello-pubescent calyx; pyrenae oblong, compressed, hardly
curved, smooth, stramineous, about 3 m. long. Nom. Jap. Inu-

"Probably a hybrid between Callicarpa japonica Thunb. and C.
mollis Sieb,. et Zucc., and the plant in the Botanic Garden of
the University of Tokyo is the only living specimen hitherto
known. It differs from C. japonica Thunb., which has the thinner
and glabrescent leaves and shallowly lobed calyx; and from C.
mollis Sieb. et Zucc., which bears the more densely hairy leaves,
more deeply lobed and more hairy calyx, larger flower, and fewer-
flowered cyme."
Nakai (1938) adds"This plant is an hybrid between Callicarpa
japonica and Callicarpa mollis with the characters of the former
more predominated. The Korean specimens bear the leaves like
those of Callicarpa japonica f. rhombifolia". He cites Nakai
500 PHY TOL 0 G2 A Vol. 21, no. 7
12078 from Kait6 Island, Korea. Li (1963) says of the hybrid "It
occurs naturally around Tokyo (Nakai 1922). It has elliptic to
ovate-lanceolate or ovate-oblong leaves which are serrate along
the margins and sparingly fasciculate-pubescent and glandular be-
neath. The calyx is distinctly lobed and the flowers lilac in
color. A small plant of this hybrid is represented in the Morris
Arboretum collection."
Schneider (1911) says "Nach Makino.....hat Shirasawa keine
typische mollis abgebildet, sondern wahrscheinlich eine mollis x
japonica, “die Makino als C. Shirasawana beschreibt. Doch sind
die Bl[utter]-Unterschiede gegen mollis gering, diese ist noch
reicher beh[{aart] und der K[elch] noch tiefer geteilt."
In my 1936 work I followed Bakhuizen van den Brink (1921) and
reduced xC. shirasawana to synonymy under typical C. Japonica
Thunb. because specimens seen by me up to that time so labeled in
herbaria and taken from horticultural material seemed indistin-
guishable from typical C. japonica. Apparently these specimens
were misidentifications._
It should be noted here that the C. mollis accredited to Koor-
ders in the synonymy given above is actually a synonym of C.
caudata Maxim., that of Matsumura is C. oshimensis var. okina-
wensis (Nakai) Hatus., that of Requien and of Willdenow is C.
acuminata H.B.K., and that of Siebold & Zuccarini is a valid spe-
cies.
The hybrid has been found in the wild state -- contrary to
Makino's statement — at 300 meters altitude, flowering in June,
and the common names "“inu-murasaki" and "inu-murasakisikibu" are
recorded for it, in addition to the variant listed by Makino.
Bean (1951) states that it was introduced into the horticultural
trade in 1895, but on what he bases this statement is not clear.
The W. R. Sykes 4/65, distributed as xC. shirasawana, is actu-
ally only C. =a Thunb.
Thus far only a single herbarium specimen undoubtedly repre-
senting this hybrid has been seen by me.

"RHIZOCTONIA SOLANI, BIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY" edited by J. R.
Parmeter Jr., iv & 255 pp., illus., University of Califor-
nia Press, Berkeley, California 9720, Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia & London. 1971. $11.50.
This fine monographic study has had a long gestation: con—
ceived by an American Phytopathological Society Symposium at
Miami in 1965, prefaced in 1967, dated by Library of Congress
Catalog card 1969, copyrighted 1970, and published 1971. Its
main well-fulfilled goals are "(1) to bring together and inte-
grate all of the available information on R. solani [specific
epithet capitalized on p. 199] in all of its various aspects,
and (2) to compile a literature list that, directly or indirect—
ly, provides access to all of the important works [more than
1,000 references, only 2 as late as 1968, so that]....any worker
needing information or contemplating research on R. solani can
start with this volume, knowing that the literature has been
thoroughly reviewed."
Part I covers a century of historical survey, taxonomy of the
imperfect and perfect (basidiomycete Thanatephorus cucumeris
(Frank) Donk) stages, morphology and cytology, and asexual and
parasexual recombination, mutation and heterokaryosis mechanisms
of variation in this "fungus that occurs throughout most, if not
all,of the world's land mass."
Part II deals with the physiology, metabolism, colonization
and soil growth of this organism as a saprophyte.
Part III deals with all phases as a pathogen -- the diseases,
penetration, epidemiology and control. R. solani "probably
causes more different types of diseases to a wider variety of
plants over a larger part of the world and under more diverse
environmental conditions, than any other plant—pathogen
species."
There are many excellent line drawings and photographs es-
pecially of ultrastructures, cultures and pathological effects.
The work is well indexed.

The detecting and characterizing of many agricultural and
forestry phenomena as well as other surveys of the earth's sur-
face have recently been revolutionized by the remote sensing
techniques using "the ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and micro-

wave regions of the electrpmagnetic spectrum to collect data that
give a measure of the reflectance, emittance, dialectric constant,
surface geometry, and equivalent black~body temperature of plants,
soils, and water". These data will permit (a) identification and
area measurements of the major agricultural crop types; (b) map-
ping of soil and water temperatures; (c) mapping of surface water,
including snowpack; (d) mapping of disease and insect invasions;
(e) mapping of gross forest types; (f) mapping of forest-fire
boundaries; (g) assessment of crop and timber-stand vigor; (h) de-
termination of soil characteristics and soil moisture consition;
(i) delineation of rangeland productivity; (j) mapping of areas
of high potential forest-fire hazard; and (k) mapping of major
soil boundaries.
There are papers by several different scientists working in
this nascent field, each with its om bibliography. The statis-
tical problems are in themselves difficult, but are presented
with clarity. The present and future research needs are mind-
staggering. The illustrations consist of copious charts and won-
derful photographs, many aerial and often in color. This book
will surely be the definitive one in the field for a while, yet
it has no general index.
