Glabra, ramis teretibus gracilibus ad apices tantum foliosis, foliis petiolatis membranaceis lanceo- 
latis ovatis ellipticisve obtusis transversim pellucido-lineatis, floribus monoicis di- trichotome 
cymosis, sepalis 2 petalisque lineari-lanceolatis tenuissimis, petalis 4, stylis elongatis diver- 
gentibus. . 
Frutex vel arbor parva glaberrima, ramis teretibus gracilibus ad apices tantum foliosis. Folia 
petiolata membranacea, ovato-lanceolata vel elliptica, 3-6 poll. longa, acuminata obtusa vel 
subacuta, basi cuneata, integra, costa ad margines lineis immersis contiguis pellucidis undu- 
latis continuatis notata, venis reticulatis utrinque inconspicuis, petiolo 3-6 lin. longo. Flores 
monoici, pedicellati, in cymas di- trichotomas (femineas subtrifloras, masculinas multoties 
ramosas) axillares vel terminales parvibracteolatas dispositi, pedicellis basi et ad medium bibrac- 
teolatis basi articulatis, florum femineorum longioribus, bracteis minutis triangularibus acutis 
oppositis, sepalis 2 petalisque tenuissimis, petalis 4, staminibus numerosissimis. Florum 
masculinorum sepala lineari-lanceolata, acuta, 3-4 lin. longa; petala lineari-oblonga, fere 
obtusa, sepalis equilonga; stamina petalis paulo breviora, filamentis filiformibus inzqui- 
longis, basi leviter cohzrentibus ; ovarium rudimentarium, estylosum, apice obscure 4-lobatum. 
Florum femineorum sepala ovato-lanceolata ; stamina, preter antheras, omnino (?) vacuis sicut 
in masculinis; ovarium 4-loculare, loculis uniovulatis, stylis liberis staminibus equilongis, 
stigmate parvo. Fructus maturus mihi ignotus.

The sepals and petals are so extremely thin that it is possible they are not quite 
correctly drawn or described.
