terete and somewhat crooked; wood soft, yellowish white, light, 
odorless and without taste; bark gray, densely covered with 
lenticels or excrescences, 1.25 em. thick, yellowish on the inner 
surface; main branches arising from above the middle, the ul- 
timate ones glabrous and quite numerous, thereby forming 
bushes. Leaves very smooth on both sides, glabrous at all 
times, much deeper green on the upper conduplieate side, alter-

serrate; midvein quite prominent beneath, reddish brown when 
dry; lateral ones 5 to 7 pairs, ascendingly curved, their tips 
anastomosing, all smooth and glabrous, articulations obscure;

at both ends. Spikes divaricately spreading from the branch-
