coriaceous, flat, shining deep velvety green as are also the 
under sides, curing greenish on both sides, glabrous, base 
obtuse to broadly rounded, inequilateral, abruptly acuminate 
above the middle, margins entire around the base, otherwise 
cilately apiculate or the broader side terminating into a 
broad tooth or an obscure lobule , diverse in size, the average 
lamina 3.5 em long by 1.5 em wide below the middle, 
ovate in general outline or broadly short lanceolate, very 
numerous; petiole 1 to 2 cm long, strict, very slender and 
glabrous, sappy white, at the base provided with a pair of 
5 mm long elongated brown and glabrous stipular bracts; 
veins 8 or 4, the middle one extending into the apex, the 
one on the narrower side extending to above the middle 
of the blade, the upper lateral one on the broader side ex- 
tending into the side tooth or lobule and usually is 
branched from the middle, the basal one on the 
~ broader side qvite short and near the edge of the leaf. 
Flowers terminal or from the uppermost leaf axils, few clus- 
tered, 1 to 3 cm long; peduncle proper varying from one 
to two thirds the entire length, subtended at fhe base by 
reduced leaves or by the brown stipuiar bracts; pedicels also 
very slender or thread-like, averaging 5 mm in length, 
subtended by brown subpersistent bracteoles; staminate flower 
enclosed and subtended by a single pair of perianth seg- 
ments; lobes 4.5 mm long and wide, orbicular or nearly 
so, shallowly cordate at the base, hyaline, severally veined, 
pink to white; stamens many, reddish brown, forming a loose 
4 mm thick mass; filaments unequal, less than 1 mm in

.long, 0.5 mm wide, compressed, basifixed, broadly rounded 
and distinctly emarginate at the apex, elliptic to obovately 
elliptic, dehiscing along the edges from the apex toward | 
the base; pistillate flowers not observed. Capsule with the 
wings 1 cm high and nearly twice as broad across the 
truncate apex, broadly rounded at the base, the larger wings 
unequal, the lateral ones much smaller, the seed coLtain- 
ing portion elliptic, all wings transversely veined, the 3 
plicenta strands sparsely ciliate.
