slender, the upper portion of the tube 2.5-3.5 mm long, campanulate, 

 the 4 lobes very short, triangular-ovate, acuminate; petals 4, broadly 

 ovate, about 1.6 mm long, 1.4 mm wide, rounded at the apex, the two 

 inner with processes at the base, separable and apparently falling sepa- 

 rately ; stamina! disk thin; stamens about 30, their filaments 2.5-4 mm 

 long, their anthers orbicular, cordate at the base, 0.3 mm in diameter; 

 style at anthesis 4 mm long; ovary 2-cclled, each cell with several ovules. 



A tree 8-10 m high, the bark of the ultimate branches covered with 

 grayish bark, often sealing off and leaving the branches purplish; leaves 

 opposite, with petioles 5-9 mm long, the lamina elliptic-lanceolate, 

 10.5-12 cm long, 3.2- I cm wide, acute and decurrent at the base, at 

 the apex prolonged into an acumen 1.5-2 cm long; primary lateral veins 

 on each side of the midrib about 50, irregularly forking and anastomosing : 

 submarginal vein thin hut sufficiently conspicuous.

Cymis terminalihus vel subterminalibus, multifioris, sessilibus in 

 triadibus paniculatim dispositis: calycis tubo tubaeforme, lobis 4 vel 5, 

 minimis; corolla ignota; staminibus brevissimis: foliis subcoriaceis, 

 ellipticis, basi acute acuminatis, apice in acumen angustum obtusum 

 productie; venis utrinque 20 vel pluribus, indistinctis. 



Flowers terminal or suhterminal, sessile or subsessile in triads, forming 

 a sometimes leafy panicle 5-10 cm long, its rachises slender, quadrangular, 

 4- or 8-ridged or almost winged: calyx-tube increasing gradually in 

 diameter from the base to just below the apex, where it is moderately 

 expanded, 6-8 mm long, 1.5-2 mm in diameter at the apex, not extending 

 1 mm beyond the ovary; calyx-lobes 1 or 5, about 0.1 mm long and less 

 than 1 mm wide, deciduous, leaving the margin of the calyx slightly 

 undulate or lacerate; corolla unknown; disk thin, its margin not free; 

 stamens numerous, the longest filaments nearly 1 mm, comparatively 

 stout toward the base, narrowed to a point at the apex, anthers hardly 

 0.2 mm long; style about 1 mm long, its apex nearly level with that of 

 the calyx; ovary-cavity occupying nearly the entire length of the calyx- 

 tube except the basal 1 mm, 2-celled or apparently often 1-celled. 



A tree 10 m high, with a trunk 30 cm in diameter, its terete or nearly 

 terete branches and slender branchlets covered with smooth grayish to 

 cinnamon-colored bark : leaves of a pair sometimes not quite opposite, the 

 petioles 2-4 mm long, the lamina subcoriaceous, elliptic, 4-8 cm long, 

 15-36 mm wide, acutely acuminate at the base, at the apex forming a 

 narrow obtuse acumen 5-9 mm long, the margins revolute, both surfaces
