inflorescence 15 to 18 cm long, pyramidal, all parts densely 
lepidote with pale-brown, small, appressed or subappressed scales, 
the bracts few, lanceolate, 7 to 12 mm long, the bracteoles 2 
mm long or less, the primary branches somewhat spreading, few, 
opposite, about 8 cm long. Male flowers 5-merous, rather densely 
crowded at the ends of the branchlets. Calyx cup-shaped, 3.5 
to 4 mm in diameter, obscurely 5-toothed, outside densely lepidote. 
Petals broadly obovate to subrhomboid-obdvate, 3.5 mm in diam- 
eter, somewhat narrowed below. Stamens 10; filaments 2 mm 
long; anthers about as long as the filaments. Ovary entirely 
wanting,

A species also manifestly polygamo-dioecious, well characterized by its 
comparatively large leaves which are densely pale-brownish-lepidote be- 
neath, and its ample panicles of rather large male flowers,
