shortly acuminate, coriaceous, dark green above, paler beneath. 
Petioles short, terete, swollen at the base. Flowers forming an 
umbel from the apex of the branch, but two or three arise toge- 
gether from different points. Peduacles about as long as the 
flowers. Calyx very minute, scarcely conspicuous, except when 
the corolla is removed, and then a small five-lobed disc is seen. 
Corolla pure white (in our specimen), tinged with yellow on the 
upper side within, infundibuliformi-campanulate. Zude mode- 
rately long, furrowed: /odes of the Zimd longer than the tube, 
spreading, oblong-obtuse, but apiculate, undulated. Stamens ten, 
spreading, shorter than the lobes of the corolla: ji/aments slightly 
thickened and villosely downy : anther small, oblong (abortive ?). 
Ovary oblong, unusually narrow in this genus, deeply six-sulcate. 
Style glabrous, longer than the stamens. Stigma capitate, indis- 
tinctly lobed.
