8 ad 10; capsulis late obovatis, 3-lobatis, circiter 1 cm longis et 
1.3 cm latis, lobis late rotundatis, apice retusis apiculatisque. 
A shrub, the younger parts and the young leaves more or less 
pubescent, the older leaves glabrous or nearly so, at least on the 
upper surface. Leaves 10 cm long or less, the rachis and petio- 
lules puberulent; leaflets usually 6, narrowly oblong, coriaceous, 
2 to 4 cm long, 6 to 15 mm wide, obtuse, narrowed below to the 
somewhat decurrent-acuminate base, the upper surface dark- 
olivaceous, glabrous, the lower surface much paler and, at least 
when young, more or less pubescent with scattered short hairs; 
lateral nerves 8 to 10 on each side of the midrib, prominent on 
the lower surface; petiolules 2 to 5 mm long. Infructescences 
axillary, 3 to 5 cm long, pubescent, the branches few. Capsules 
broadly obovate, 3-lobed, apex more or less retuse and distinctly 
apiculate, about 1.3 cm wide and nearly 1 cm long, the lobes 
broadly rounded, red, glabrous. Seeds obovoid, smooth, shining, 
about 6 mm long.

The alliance of this species is manifestly with Guioa obtusa 
Merr., from which it radically differs in its very much smaller, 
relatively much narrower leaflets.
