An erect glabrous shrub about 3 m high, the branches terete, 
the branchlets slender, distinctly sulcate on two sides, not 4- 
angled or winged. Leaves thickly coriaceous, brown when dry, 
somewhat shining, the lower surface a little paler than the 
upper one, obovate to oblong-obovate, 2.5 to 4 cm long, 1.5 to 
2.5 cm wide, the apex broadly rounded, sometimes retuse, or 
obtuse, narrowed below to the acute base, the margins somewhat 
revolute when dry; nerves obsolete; petioles 2 to 4 mm- long. 
Flowers unknown. Peduncles axillary, solitary, 2 to 3 mm 
long, the whole inflorescence apparently scarcely exceeding the 
petioles in length. Fruit depressed-globose, 5 mm in diameter.

A small glabrous tree, about 4 m high, the branches and 
branchlets reddish-brown, terete. Leaves thickly coriaceous, 
elliptic, 5 to 10 cm long, 3 to 6.5 cm wide, the upper surface 
strongly shining, the lower of nearly the same color but dull, 
the base broadly rounded, the apex obtuse or more usually very 
shortly and broadly acuminate, the margins distinctly revolute; 
nerves obscure, about 7 on each side of the midrib, sometimes 
nearly obsolete, at other times evident, very obscurely anasto- 
mosing, the reticulations obsolete; petioles stout, 2 to 3 mm 
long. Inflorescence axillary, solitary, peduncled, about 2.5 cm 
long, glabrous, few-flowered, the peduncles bearing usually
