A characteristic and strongly marked species, distin^ished by its 
unusually long, oblanceolate, denticulate leaves, and by its rotate flowers, 
the calyx of the same size as the corolla, and both calyx and corolla very 
densely glandular-punctate with black glands. Its allies are Discocalyx 
insignis Merr., and D. macrophylla Merr.

maculis purpureis notatis, nervis utrinque 12 ad 15, distinctis; 
inflorescentiis bipinnatim paniculatis, paniculis tenuibus, glandu-

A small tree or a shrub, 4 m high (fide Ramos), dioecious, gla- 
brous. Leaves oblong, coriaceous, entire, 15 to 25 cm long, 4 
to 8 cm wide, subequally narrowed at both ends, shining, the 
apex acuminate, base acute, the lower surface somewhat paler 
than the upper, with minute, scattered glands and with nu- 
merous, scattered, purplish spots 1 to 1.3 mm in diameter; pri- 
mary lateral nerves 12 to 15 on each side of the midrib, distinct, 
anastomosing, the secondary ones sometimes nearly as distinct, 
the reticulations rather lax; petioles 2 to 3 cm long. Special 
branches bearing the inflorescence up to 18 cm long, slightly 
branched, the upper one-half often much thickened and marked 
with the scars of fallen bracts, the panicles more or less fascicled 
at the ends of the branches, slender, bipinnately paniculate, more

A species apparently most closely allied to Discocalyx montana Elm., 
which it rather closely resembles, distinguished, however, by its small 
flowers and by its leaves being prominently maculate on the lower surface.
