paniculas axillares densifloras breviter pedunculatas ramis corymbosis dis- 
positis, pedicellis brevibus pilosis, calycis minuti segmentis rotundatis, 
petalis oblongis calyce 3-4plo longioribus, staminibus exsertis filamentis 
applanatis, ovario in flore masculo rudimentario. 
A forest-tree, 20 or 80 feet high, with crowded branchlets,

Panicles dense, produced from the axils of the upper leaves, about 
as long as the leaves; peduncle and branches densely pilose ; 
branches corymbose. Calyx 4 line long, with 4 rounded lobes. 
Petals oblong, } in. long. Stamens half as long again as the

bosis, pedicellis flori zquilongis, calycis minuti segmentis 4 rotundis, 
petalis 4 oblongis quam calyx 3-4plo longioribus, staminibus petalis aqui- 
longis filamentis applanatis, fructu 4-cocco semine nigro nitido. 
A tree, with crowded slender erecto-patent obscurely pilose

Petals oblong, in. long. Stamens with oblong anthers and 
pilose flattened filaments. Fruit of 4 or fewer emarginate rigid 
cocci J in. broad, with a single black shining seed in each the
