A lice about 20 m. high. Branches light gray, aften yellowish, glabrous, 

 shining, the ultimate branchlcts often slightly angular, slender. Leaves opposite, 

 ovate-oblong to elliptical oblong, glabrous, coriaceous, the base acute, the apex 

 somewhat prominently acuminate, the acumen blunt, 6 to 8 cm. long, 2 to 4 cm.

 above. Panicles terminal, and in the upper axils, 5 cm. long or less, the pedun- 

 cles about 2 cm. long, slightly ferruginous pubescent, the branches ascending, 

 few flowered, the pedicels (I to 10 mm. long, slender, rather densely ferruginous 

 puberulous. Flowers white, fragrant, 1.5 cm. in diameter. Outer two sepals 

 with few short hairs, especially near the margins, becoming glabrous or nearly
