Branches terete; bark smooth, dark or grey, minutely lenticellate. Leaves 14-

pyriform ovary. Corolla when fresh green within, rufous externally.

A small shrub, 1-2.ft.; branches terete; bark dark, minutely lenticellate, of shoots 
rufous. Leaves 1-2 in., young tawny on both surfaces old glabrous on both,
