ovalibus, vel subrotundis, apice leviter cordatis, margine revolutis, apice 

 apieulatis ; stipulis parvis, lanceolatis, apice acumine deciduo instructis. 



Flowers axillary, solitary or rarely in pairs, the male borne on pedicels 

 5-7 mm long, their perianth-segments 6, somewhat exceeding 1 mm in 

 length, varying in outline in the same flower from lanceolate to oval, 

 obtuse or rounded at the apex; disk-glands 6, free, about 0.2 mm long; 

 stamens 3, the filaments free, about 0.3 mm long, the anthers equally 

 long, their cells oval, dehiscing horizontally: female flowers often on 

 shorter pedicels than the male, but these in fruit attaining 15 mm, 

 perianth-segments 6, oblanceolate to obovate, 1 mm long, their apices 

 acute or somewhat acuminate; disk-glands 6, free, small; ovary glabrous, 

 G-lobcd, 3-celled; styles 3, forked almost to the base, the arms about 0.4 

 nun long, nearly flat upon the ovary: capsules 3 mm in diameter, 

 6-grooved, 3-celled, the seeds about 1.7 mm long, the testa densely verru- 

 cose-tuberculate along longitudinal lines. 



A shrub 1 m high, usually much branched, the brandies and terete 

 branchlets covered with gray bark, the latter more or less pubescent 

 especially on the youngest shoots: leaves deciduous when dried, borne on 

 petioles 0.5 mm long, the lamina ehartaceous, elliptic, oval, ovate, or 

 nearly orbicular, 2-7 mm long, 1.7-4.5 mm wide, the base equilateral- or 

 inequilateral, slightly cordate, the margins revolute, the apex rounded or 

 slightly refuse, apiculate, the upper surface shining: veins on eaeli side 

 of the midrib 4-7 ; stipules lanceolate, not hastate, with an acute acumen 

 at the apex, but this deciduous, older stipules appearing ovate, those on 

 either side of the petiole often contiguous beneath it.

Monoecious, the female flowers apparently much fewer and opening 

 earlier: male flowers in fascicles usually of 3, borne on slender pedicels 

 2-12 mm long; perianth-segments 6, white, ovate or lanceolate, 1-1.2 mm 

 long, 0.6-0.7 mm wide, obtuse and sometimes very shortly mucronate at 

 the apex, with a conspicuous mid-vein; disk composed of 6 nearly orbi- 

 cular minutely papillose free glands 0.4 mm in diameter and alternate 

 with the perianth-segments; filaments 3, free, 0.7-0.8 mm long; anthers 

 less than 0.3 mm long, dehiscing transversely: female flowers solitary, 

 borne on pedicels 12-22 long, perianth as in the male ; disk annular, its
