 dracea, ovarium longitudine aequante Bed angustiore, apice 8- vol lO-lo- 



bata; capsulis circiter 1 cm diametro: foliis lauceolatis vol ellipticis, apice 



gradatim acuminatis. 



Inflorescence nearly always borne on short pubescent peduncles, the 

 male flowers on pedicels 4-7 mm long, the female nearly sessile, rarely 

 the male flowers racemed on the lower part of the peduncle and the female 

 forming glomerules above: perianth-segments of the male flowers 6, 

 lanceolate, 1.5 mm long, hirsute without, obtuse; anthers 3, the connective 

 produced: perianth-segments of the female flowers conspicuously Longer 

 than those of the male, usually 4 mm, hirsute on both surfaces, lanceolate, 

 subacute; ovary densely pubescent, 1-2 mm in diameter, 4- or 5-sulcate; 

 stvlar column about as long as the ovary, but narrower, short cylindric, 

 the basal half hirsute, the upper glabrous and therefore appearing 

 narrower, 8- or 10-lobed : capsules about 1 cm in diameter, depressed- 

 globose and at the apex somewhat umbilieate, slightly pubescent, 4- or 

 5-celled, only one ovule usually maturing, the seeds 3.5 mm long. 



A shrub 2 m high, its branchlets terete or slightly angled, densely 

 pubescent or the older glabrescenl : leaves borne on petioles 2 mm Long, 

 the lamina chartaceous, lanceolate or elliptic, 2.5-8 em long, 1.5-3 em 

 wide, at the acute or obtuse base somewhat inequilateral, the apex 

 gradually acuminate, mucronate, the upper surface more or less puberu- 

 lent, the lower lepidote, and on the veins hirsute; stipules 2 mm long, 

 lanceolate, acute, pubescent.

Arbor vol arbuscula, floribus axillaribus, pedicellatis, femineis brevis- 

 sime: floribus masculinis perianthio G-partito, segmentis ovalibus, ex- 

 terioribus 3 mm longis, interioribus 1.5 mm longis; antheris 3: floribus 

 femineis perianthio G-partito ; ovario depresso-globoso, dense pubescente, 

 columna stylari cylindracea, 0.5-0.8 mm longa, capsulis depresso-globosis, 

 minute pubescentibus, 12-14 mm diametro: foliis petiolis 4-5 mm longis 

 BUffultis, laminis coriaceis, glabris, ellipticis, ovalibus, ovatis, vel sub- 

 rotundis, basi decurrentibus, apice obtuse acuminatis. 



Flowers of both sexes in axillary fascicles: male flowers borne on 

 pedicels attaining 7 mm in length; the perianth 6-parted, in 2 series, the 

 segments oval, those of the outer series 3 mm long, those of the inner 1.5 

 mm long, the latter hooded when young; anthers 3, 1 mm long, the con- 

 nective distinctly produced: pedicels of female flowers very short but 

 stout, perianth 6-parted but not as deeply as in the male, 2-3 mm long, 

 the inner segments somewhat shorter than those of the outer row, broadly 

 ovate, at the apex obtusely acuminate; ovary depressed-globose, densely 

 pubescent, 1 mm long, 1.5 mm in diameter; the stylar column 0.5-0.8 

 mm long, cylindric, 6-lobed, the lobes emarginate: capsules depressed-
