A shrub or small tree, most parts prominently setose with more 
or less spreading, curved, dense or scattered, 1 to 2.5 mm long, 
pale-brownish setae. Branches slender, terete, grayish-brown, 
glabrous, the branchlets distinctly furfuraceous and appressed 
setose. Leaves oblong-obovate, firmly chartaceous, brownish 
when dry, somewhat shining, 6 to 12 cm long, 2.5 to 4.5 em wide, 
lower surface paler than the upper, apex rather abruptly and 
sharply acuminate, base narrowed, obtuse, margins prominently 
setose-ciliate, both surfaces with scattered, spreading or some- 
what appressed setae especially on the midrib and lateral nerves; 
lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, slender, pro- 
minent, curved-anastomosing; petioles densely setose, 8 to 15 
mm long. Cymes axillary, solitary, few-flowered, rather densely 
setose, long peduncled, the branches few, short. Flowers white, 
about 1.3 cm in diameter. Sepals ovate, about 5 mm long, obtuse, 
the outer three densely setose with spreading setae 1 to 2 mm in 
length, the inner two setose only on the median central part, 
thinner than the outer ones, petaloid. Corolla lobes oblong- 
obovate, inequilaterally retuse, about 6 mm long, 4 mm wide. 
Stamens about 25; filaments and anthers each about 1.8 mm 
long. Ovary ovoid, glabrous; styles 3, united for the lower 0.5 
mm, the arms about 3 mm long.

The species is similar to and manifestly closely allied to Saurauia cle- 
mentis Merr. but has much smaller flowers, while the styles are united 
for only the lower 0.5 mm.

Frutex circiter 4 m altus ramulis dense adpresse ferrugineo- 
setosus; foliis obovatis ad elliptico-obovatis, chartaceis, usque 
ad 18 cm longis, acuminatis, basi angustatis, subrotundatis, ner- 
vis utrinque circiter 12, utrinque ad costa nervisque setosis; in-

A shrub about 4 m high, rather prominently appressed-setose. 
Branches terete, pale-brown, the branchlets densely appressed- 
setose with short setae, these pale brown or somewhat ferrugin- 
ous, similar ones on the petioles and inflorescence. Leaves obov- 
ate to elliptic-obovate, chartaceous, 9 to 18 cm long, 4 to 8 cm 
wide, acuminate, base more or less narrowed, somewhat rounded, 
the margins setose-serrulate, the upper surface brown and shin- 
ing when dry, with numerous, short, appressed setae on the mid- 
rib and lateral nerves, fewer on the reticulations, the lower sur-
