This species appears, from the dried specimens we have examined, 



and which are all rather poor, to be hardly a twdner to the same 



extent as the other species of this section are. The leaves are 



almost constantly opposite, except where one is replaced by a 



peduncle. The stems are very shining and brittle, the leaves 



membranous and flowers large. It cannot be confounded with 

 any other.
