apex slenderly caudate-acuminate, the acumen 1 to 2 cm long, 
usually falcate; lateral nerves 15 to 20 on each side of the 
midrib, slender, curved; petioles 2 mm long or less. Cymes 
axillary, peduncled, lax, few-flowered, 12 to 14 em long, 10 to 12 
em wide, the peduncles 6 to 8 cm long. Flowers white, the 
corolla tube 2 to 2.5 cm long, the lobes spreading, somewhat 
obovate, up to 1.5 cm long. Follicles few, subcylindric, divari- 
cate, 4 to 5 cm long, about 2 cm in diameter, acute or subacute 
at both ends, the back broadly rounded, the ventral surface ob- 
scurely 3-keeled, the pericarp fragile, smooth, pale brownish, 
shining. Seeds about 20, angular, about 1 cm long, the aril

This species is well characterized by its membranaceous, 
many-nerved, subsessile, caudate-acuminate leaves; its obscurely 
keeled, subcylindric follicles; and its numerous seeds.

Arbor parva, inflorescentiis exceptis glabra; ramulis haud len- 
ticellatis; foliis firmiter chartaceis, oblongo-ellipticis, 13 ad 17 
em longis, integris, nitidis, basi rotundatis ad acutis, apice 
perspicue lateque acuminatis, subtus minute distincteque glan-

floribus breviter pedicellatis; calycis cupulatis, truncatis; corolla. 
5 ad 5.5 mm longa, glabra; fructibus globosis ad obovoideis 3.5 
mm longis. 
A small tree about 6 m high, entirely glabrous except the 
cinereous-puberulent inflorescences. Branches terete, smooth, 
brown when dry, the upper parts not at all lenticellate. Leaves 
firmly chartaceous, oblong-elliptic, olivaceous when dry, 13 to 17 
em long, 6 to 8.5 cm wide, entire, shining, base rounded to acute, 
apex rather prominently and broadly acuminate, the lower sur- 
face minutely but distinctly glandular-punctate; lateral nerves 
6 or 7 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the lower surface, 
curved, anastomosing, the reticulations lax, distinct; petioles 
1.5 to 2 em long. Cymes terminal, peduncled, many-flowered, 
about 13 cm wide, 5 to 8 cm long, excluding the peduncle, the 
branches opposite, the lower ones up to 8 cm in length, the 
bracts linear, about 4 mm long, bracteoles very small. Flowers
