Species of plant in the mint family
 ;templatestyles src="Template:Taxobox/core/styles.css" / ;
Callicarpa lamii (Chamorro: "hamlag") is a plant in the mint family that is endemic to the Mariana Islands. It is one of two "Callicarpa" plants endemic to the Mariana Islands, the other being "Callicarpa candicans" var. "paucinervia".
Description.
Shrub to small tree with lavender or white flowers. Described by Fosberg &amp; Sachet as being "only rather weakly distinct from "C. candicans"." "Callicarpa lamii" was described by Herman Lam (who named it "Callicarpa glabra", but was describing specimens from the Marianas), as being a smooth bush 2 meters high:
Range and habitat.
"Callicarpa lamii" is usually described as being in limestone forest or forest edge, as opposed to "Callicarpa candicans" var. "paucinervia", which is also endemic to the Marianas but is found on coastal limestone cliffs. "Callicarpa lamii" has been seen at 30-100 meters elevation.
One specimen labelled "Callicarpa lamii" is listed from the Bonin Islands of Japan (1930), although the species is no longer considered as existing in the Bonin Islands.
"Callicarpa lamii" has been observed on the following Mariana islands (with date of their latest recorded observation): 
History.
The indigenous CHamorro name is listed by Herman Lam as "hamlatt" or "hamlag", which is the same name applied to the coastal species, "Callicarpa candicans".
The earliest known specimens were collected in 1887 on Pagan, with labels written in French, but the collector's name is not listed. The species was described and named "Callicarpa glabra" by Herman Lam in 1919. The specimens described as "Callicarpa glabra" by Lam were from the Mariana Islands, although the name now refers to a separate species in the Bonin Islands. The Marianas species was later named "Callicarpa lamii" by Takahide Hosokawa in 1934 or 1924 in the Journal of the Society of Tropical Agriculture. An early spelling was "Callicarpa lammii."
William Safford made no reference to the genus "Callicarpa" in his 1905 book, The Useful Plants of Guam. Raymond Fosberg made only passing reference to the genus "Callicarpa" in his 1960 The Vegetation of Micronesia. Benjamin C. Stone did not make a distinction between the two species and seems to have considered "Callicarpa candicans" var. "paucinervia" to be a synonym of "Callicarpa glabra".
