 in., shortly petioled, glossy abore, paler beneath ; nerves finely impressed above, 

 prominent beneath. Bracts ovate, acute, persistent. Flowers sessile in clusters of

 broader at the base than those of Wight. - In Wallich's »S. ribcsioides the leaves are 

 bi*oader and less acuminate, the peduncles are shorter and the branchlets whiter.
