bipinnatis, foliis subaequantibus; floribus 5-meris, circiter 4 mm 
longis. 
A dioecious glabrous shrub about 5 m high, the branches 
brownish, smooth, 4 to 5 mm in diameter. Leaves pseudo-verti- 
cillate, oblanceolate, 11 to 14 cm long, 1.6 to 2 em wide, entire, 
margins slightly revolute, acute or obscurely acuminate, gradu- 
ally narrowed below to the stout petiole, pale and shining when 
dry, of about the same color on both surfaces; primary nerves 
about 12 on each side of the midrib, slender, ascending; petioles 
5 mm long or less. Staminate panicles axillary, bipinnate, about 
as long as the leaves, the peduncles and lower branches 3 to 4 
em in length. Flowers white, 5-merous, their pedicels about 4 
mm long. Calyx subrotate, about 3 mm in diameter, usually 
eglandular, the teeth triangular-ovate, obtuse or subacute, less 
than 1 mm long. Corolla 4 mm long, the lobes oblong, obtuse, 
about 2.5 mm long, with a few conspicuous glands above, united 
for the lower 1.5 mm. Stamens 5, the anthers oblong, sessile, 
- obtuse, the connectives eglandular. Rudimentary ovary thick-
