Inllorescentiis teiminalibus vel lateralibus, brevibus, paucifloris: calycis 

 tubo turbinato ; lobis 4, rotundatis: foliis Bubcoriaceis, laneeolatis, basi 

 acutis decurrentibusque, apice siibcaudato-acuminatis ; venis utrinque 

 10-12. 



(Vines terminal or axillary, 1— 3-flowered, only 1 cm long, excluding 

 the style, peduncles present but not more than % mm long, individual 

 flowers sessile or with very short pedicels, subtended by ovate bracteoles 

 less than 1 mm long but comparatively conspicuous; calyx-tube turbinate, 

 3 mm long, 3.5-4 mm wide at the base of the lobes; calyx-lobes 4, rounded, 

 3-3.5 mm long, 3-5 mm wide; petals 4, free, orbicular-ovate, 4 mm long; 

 disk present; stamens numerous, the filaments 6-8 mm long, the anthers 

 suborbieular, only 0.2 mm in diameter; style 1 cm long; ovary 2-celled, 

 its walls containing an unusually well-defined row of oil-glands. 



A tree 10 m high, with a trunk 10 cm in diameter, its branchlets 

 covered with gray or brownish bark: leaves with petioles 2-3 mm long, 

 the lamina subcoriaceous, lanceolate, 9-13 cm long, 3-4 cm wide, the 

 base acute and decurrent on the petiole almost to its insertion, the apex 

 contracted into a very slender acumen; primary lateral veins on each side 

 of the midrib 10-12, forming a very definite submarginal vein from base

In spite of the small size of the calyx-lobes, which are usually only 7-8 nun 

 long, they are broadly rounded, and in all other respects the plant is a typical 

 Jatnboaa, and clearly allied to the species with which it is here placed. The 

 petals are entirely separate, but early deciduous. 



Allied to E. paueipunctata Koord. & Val., from which it is easily distinguished 

 by its much fewer and larger flowers. 



Endemic.
