longis, 2 ad 3.5 cm latis, utrinque subaequaliter angustatis, basi 
cuneatis, apice acuminatis, subtus perspicue glanduloso-punc- 
tatis, nervis utrinque circiter 20, tenuibus; cymis solitariis vel 
fasciculatis, plerumque e axillis defoliatis, 4 ad 6 cm longis, 
breviter pedunculatis vel e basi ramosis, laxis, ramis plerumque 
3-floris, floribus omnibus pedicellatis, calycis tubo circiter 1 cm

circiter 2 cm longis, fructibus junioribus urceolatis. 
An erect glabrous shrub 2 to 3 m high, the branches and 
branchlets terete, the former pale gray, the latter reddish brown 
and 3 to 4 mm in diameter. Leaves lanceolate, opposite, subco- 
riaceous, olivaceous and scarcely shining when dry, 14 to 20 cm 
long, 2 to 3.5 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the cuneate 
base and to the somewhat acuminate apex, the lower surface 
slightly paler than the upper and it and also often the upper 
surface conspicuously glandular-punctate, the midrib strongly 
impressed on the upper surface, prominent on the lower sur- 
face; lateral nerves slender, about 20 on each side of the midrib, 
anastomosing with the equally slender marginal nerves 1 to 
2mm from the edge of the leaf; petioles reddish brown, 10 to 
14 mm long. Cymes mostly from the axils of fallen leaves, 
Solitary or fascicled, shortly peduncled, 4 to 6 cm long, few- 
flowered, the ultimate branches for the most part 3-flowered, 
the axis and branches distinctly glandular-punctate. Flowers 
4-merous, white, their pedicels 7 to 10 mm long. Calyx tube 
about 1 em long, terete, cuneate, the throat 5 to 7 mm in diam- 
eter, the lobes broadly rounded, persistent, and conspicuously 
glandular-punctate. Petals about 1 cm in diameter, very con- 
spicuously glandular-punctate. Stamens numerous, about 2mm
