Epiphytic shrub; stems several, 1 to 2 m long, ascend- 
ing, branched from below the middle, 2 cm thick, terete, 
quite rigid; branchlets in subwhorls, ascending, yellowish 
gray, even the young tips glabrous. Leaves thickly coriaceous, 
similarly arranged, also rigid, flat, slightly recurved toward 
the slenderly acute apex, the older leaves bluntly obtuse, 
base obtuse or subcuneate, oblong, the larger normal ones 7 
cm long by 2.5 cm wide at the middle, the entire margins 
subinvolute in the dry state, glabrous, reddish brown on the 
nether side when dry, grayish brown on the upper surface, 
fresh leaves deep shining green above and yellowish green 
beneath, only a few and alternatingly clustered at the ends 
of the branchlets, upon 3 to 5 mm long petioles and leaving 
large scars after falling; bud bracts glabrous, 7 mm long, 
strongly involute, sharply acuminate, green but turning brown 
while drying; midrib conspicuous beneath especially toward 
the base, minutely caniculate along the upper side; lateral 
nerves very obscure, 5 to 7 pairs, nearly at right angles to 
the midrib, straight. 
Receptacles solitary or in pairs from the leaf axils, 8 
mm in diameter though smaller in the dry brown state, 
globose and umbilicus somewhat constricted, glabrous, smooth, 
green, rather hard, upon 3 mm long ascendingly curved 
peduncles which are terminated by 3 small bracts; umbili-
