each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower surface, the 
ultimate reticulations rather close and distinct on both surfaces, 
the glands invisible except by transmitted light; petioles about 
5 mm long. Inflorescences axillary, very short, of solitary or 
fasciclelike racemes, the rachis 3 mm long or less. Flowers 
white, about 6 mm long, their pedicels stout, 1 mm in length; 
bracteoles ovate, obtuse, about 1 mm long, the margins ciliate. 
Calyx lobes 5, orbicular, rounded, 1.5 to 2 mm wide, the margins 
slightly ciliate. Petals 5, 4 to 5 mm long, oblong-elliptic, 
rounded, glabrous. Stamens usually 8, the filaments about 3 
mm long, flattened, glabrous, and united for the lower one-half ; 
anthers 1.2 mm long. Ovary glabrous; style 1 mm long.

This species belongs in the group with Atalantia monophylla 
Correa and A. citroides Pierre, and is apparently most closely . 
allied to the former, from which it is easily distinguished by 
its larger leaves, which are subequally narrowed at both ends, 
the base being acute, the apex acute to somewhat acuminate as 
well as by its shorter petioles, shorter inflorescences, and 5- 
merous flowers.
