Without locality. 
There is but a fruiting branch in the collection. The leaves 
are obovate and abruptly acuminate, dark green above and pale 
beneath, and their nervation is quite of the type of that of 
Ectinocladus Benthami. They are 45-6 cm. long and 2-3 cm. 
broad. The only follicle is spreading horizontally, almost 20 em. 
long and 8 mm. thick and cylindric. The seeds are oblong-linear, 
13 cm. long and 3 mm. broad, with a sessile tuft of white hairs 
4 cm. long.
