Branches thick, round, often covered with flowers for a great space below the 
leaves. Leaves towards the end of the branches, alternate, usually without flowers 
among them, 4-7 by 1-2 in., entire or toothed, glabrous, somewhat coriaceous ` petiole 
0-4 in. (on the same branch). Pedicels 3 in., usually densely fascicled on very short 
spurs, thickened upwards in fruit, terminal cup scarcely wider than the pedicel.

1 in., lanceolate, green. Anthers with spurs on their beaks, Fruit 1-3 in. dam,
