dish, white; bark brown, checked longitudinally, that on the 
branches yellowish brown. Leaves crowded toward the ends, as- 
cending, alternate, 2 to 3-branched, 2 to 4 dm. long, the lower 
pair of branches occasionally again branched; peduncle proper 
nearly 1 dm. long, swollen at the base, terete, glabrous, the first 
internode about as long, the second one shorter and grooved 
along the upper side; petioles of the 2 lateral leaflets 5 mm. to 
3 cm. long, glabrous, grooved, the terminal one also greatly 
varying in length but relatively longer; blades 1 dm. long and 
3 em. wide at the middle, the entire margins subinvolute, flat, 
ascending, rigidly coriaceous, deep green above, paler so beneath, 
glabrous, fusiform or gradually tapering from the middle toward 
both ends, curing dull brown on both surfaces; the terminal usually 
the largest; midrib nearly black when dry, bold beneath, caniculate 
above, glabrous; lateral nerves from 5 to 7 primary pairs, strictly 
oblique, tips united, very fine, usually with alternating secondary 
nerves extending from the submarginal line toward the mid- 
rib, reticulations very few. Inflorescence terminal or sublateral, 
2 dm. long, sparingly panieulate; pedicels few to several em. 
long, slender, glabrous as are all the other stalks; calyx boot 
1.25 em. long, glabrous, whitish, slit one half way down on one 
side, the 2 or 3 lobes broadly obtuse or rounded, veiny, 5 mm. 
across at the base, gradually expanding; corolla constricted toward 
the base and striate, nearly 5 cm. long, the saccate portion 
somewhat flattened and strigosely hairy on the inside, the 
tubular portion white; the 5 lobes pink or whitish, deep yellow 
about the throat, the lobes broadly rounded and subrotately 
spreading, 1.5 em. across, the saccate tubular portion 1.5 cm. 
thick; stamens 4, in 2 unequal pairs, all included in the saccate 
portion and inserted upon the shoulder of the constricted portion; 
filaments whitish, curved, subterete, the longer ones 2 cm., the 
shorter 5 mm. less in length, somewhat constricted at the base 
of the connective in front and along its sides, the 2 parts divar- 
icately spreading, oblong, 3 mm. long, laterally dehiscent; 
ovary 3 mm. long, glabrous but appearing grayish, subcylindrie, 
at the base surrounded by a thick rim-like glabrous disk, 
gradually tapering into the slender glabrous 2.5 cm. long 
style; stigma dilated into 2 lobes which are 2.5 mm. long, 
1.5 mm. wide below the middle, obtuse, ovately lance shaped, 
glabrous. |
