terminal and axillary, peduncled, trichotomous ; pedicels spreading,

Has. Ravines on Field-Hill, Natal, J. Sanderson, 656. (Herb. D., Sd.) 
_ A tree or large shrub, 10-20 feet high, with the habit of a Pavetta. Leaves 
4-5 inches long, 14-24 inches broad, of thin substance, turning very dark in drying, 
narrow cuneate at base, and passing into a }-—} inch long petiole, distantly penni- 
nerved and netted beneath ; the midrib puberulous. Cymes mostly sub-terminal, 
from the axils of smaller leaves. Peduncles uncial; pedicels much-branched, corym- 
bose. Stipules cuspidate. Tube of corolla 3 as long as the limb. Throat minutely, 
but closely pubescent within: by which character this differs from the other species.
