bark, branched upwills : Leaves evergreen, ovate, acuminate, 
ferrate, narrowed downwards, petiolated : upper furface fhining 
and dark-green, lower pale and reticulated, Stipules two, fub- 
ulate, within the petiole, foon falling off. Flowers in terminal _ 
racemes, white. Braéfes fubulate, ere&t. Peduncles and lyxes 
tomentofe: the latter fuperior, campanulate, with long ereét 
fubulate teeth ; and, what is remarkable, after the flower fades, 
it eafily feparates from the crown of the germen. Petals five, 
oblong-ovate, acuminate, nerved. Filaments ere€t, inferted into 
the tube of the calyx, at firft white, changing to a bright red: 
Anthers yellow, didymous. The germen, which is {mall and 
nearly round, is covered with the fame kind of tomentum as 
that part of the calyx which feparates from it; but this does not 
turn red as on the calyx. We have not feen the fruit, but the 
germen is bilocular, and contains at leaft two ovula in each 
cell. Styles two, ereét, longer than the ftamens : ftigmas
