 glabrous and gland ularly punctate, broadly elliptic, 2 mm 

 long by 1.25 mm wide across the middle, alternating with 

 the calyx teeth, easily detached; stamens 5, opposite the 

 petals and inserted upon their inner bases, falling with 

 them; filaments compressed, tapering from the base toward 

 the apex, glabrous, 0.5 mm long; anthers introrse, as long 

 as the filaments, whitish in the dry state, broader than

Collected this undershrub in a very wet forested gully
