A glabrous shrub, the branches terete, grayish or reddish 
brown, the branchlets slender, sharply 4-angled, the internodes 
mostly 5 mm long or less. Leaves very numerous, crowded, 
narrowly oblong, thickly coriaceous, 1.5 to 2.5 cm long, 4 to 6 
mm wide, the upper surface olivacedus, slightly shining, with 
small scattered pits, the lower surface a little paler, not punc-

upper surface, rather prominent on the lower surface; lateral 
nerves up to 10 on each side of the midrib, very obscure, some- 
times obsolete or nearly so; petioles about 1 mm long. Inflores-

narrowly paniculate. Flowers white, all pediceled, chiefly in 
threes, at the tips of the ultimate branchlets, including the sta-
