Apparently a shrub with lanky branches, themselves giving off subdistant leafing — 
branchlets. Leaves greyish when dry above, brownish below ; lateral nerves about ten. 
on each side of the midrib, and, like the latter, more conspicuous on the underside ; 
petioles stout, about 1 cm. long. Bracts subulate, about 1 mm. long, rather longer than 
the lanceolate bracteoles. 
Fruit not seen.
