A small glabrous tree or the younger parts very slightly pu- 
bescent, the branches dark-colored when dry, lenticellate, the 
branchlets slender, reddish-brown. Leaves oblong-elliptic, char- 
taceous, 2 to 3 cm long, 1 to 1.5 cm wide, the apex rounded, base 
broadly acute or somewhat rounded, nearly equilateral; lateral 
nerves about 5 on each side of the midrib, slender, the reticu- 
lations indistinct; petioles 2 to 3 mm long; stipules lanceolate, 
acuminate, 1.5 to 2 mm long. Flowers axillary, fascicled, the 
staminate ones with pedicels up to 9 mm in length, the perianth 
segments oblong-elliptic, obtuse, up to 3 mm long, anthers 3, 
about 1 mm long, united. Pistillate flowers with pedicels about 
2 mm long, the perianth segments similar to those of the stam- 
inate flowers. Ovary and style about 2 mm long, cylindric, 
glabrous, the latter about as thick as the ovary and not at all 
constricted.

This species is apparently most closely allied to Glochidion 
breynioides C. B, Rob., from which it is easily distinguishable 
by its rounded or obtuse leaves.

A glabrous shrub about 2 m high, the branches brownish, the 
branchlets slender, reddish-brown. Leaves subcoriaceous, oblong, 
conspicuously faleate and very inequilateral, 4 to 5 cm long 
1 to 2 cm wide, rather pale and slightly shining when dry, the 
lower surface often slightly glaucous, the apex obtuse to rounded, 
the base acute to acuminate, one side very much narrowet than 
the other; primary lateral nerves about 8 on each side of the mid- 
rib, slender, not prominent; petioles about 3 mm long; stipules 
lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, falcate, 2 to 2.5 ™™ 
long. Flowers axillary, one or two in each axil openin
