Bark dark brown, smooth. Ovarj/ 2-celled. — Wight's figure is copied from Eox- 

 burgh's (Ic. 1. 1560) with tlie addition of a terminal panicle. Miquel (Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 

 pt. i. 456) compares it with Sf/z. Kalahiense, Korth, but the leaves of the latter are 



smaller and of a different shape. In Kurz' specimens the branchlets have white 



bark.

 inore compact.
