leaves and below them, on slender ferruginous pedicels about in. 
long. Calyx globose, 1; in. long, nearly naked, with a very short 
tube and nearly round much imbricated obtuse coriaceous segments. 
Corolla campanulate, scarcely longer than the calyx, with 5 broad 
oblong obtuse ciliated segments longer than the tube. Stamens in-

30-60 ft. high, with branchlets thinly coated with pale ferruginous 
or whitish tomentum. Leaves distinctly petioled, oblanceolate-ob- 
long, reaching a length of 6-10 in., and a breadth of 2-3 in. above 
the middle, acute, regularly deltoid in the lowest quarter, rigidly 
coriaceous, bright green above, thinly coated with persistent pale 
ferruginous or whitish tomentum beneath, with 9-14 pairs of pro- 
minent parallel arcuate-ascending main veins. Flowers in copious 
clusters from the axils of the leaves and below them on ferruginous 
pedicels ,1,-3 in. long. Calyx under } in. long, with a very short 
tube and broadly oblong much imbricated ferruginous coriaceous 
segments. Corolla half as long again as the calyx; segments ob- 
long, as long as the tube. Stamens shorter than the corolla-seg-

3-4 in. broad above the middle, obtuse or cuspidate, deltoid or 
slightly rounded at the base, rigidly coriaceous, bright green above, 
persistently bright ferruginous beneath, with 16-20 pairs of paral el 
erecto-patent much raised veins. Flowers in crowded umbels from 
the axils of the leaves and below them on the branchlets on pedicels 
longer than themselves. Calyx 4 in. long, cleft nearly to the base; 
segments oblong, densely coated like the pedicels with their ferruginous 
tomentum. Corolla campanulate, half as long again as the calyx; seg
