ing on both sides, the basal pair smallest, broadly round- 
ed at the base and occasionally a trifle inequilateral, edges 
entire and subinvolute in the dry state at least, the larger 
blades 12 cm long by 7 em wide at the middle, paler green 
beneath and brown when dry, with a similarly colored 
pubescence or subcinereous; petiole 5 to cm 8 cm long, te- 
rete, strict, scurfy brown, obscurely striate, thickened at 
the base and leaving large scars after falling, the rachis 
very similar and well expended beyond the upper pair 
of leaflets; petiolule 5 to 8 mm in length, short fulvus to- 
mentose, obscurely angled along the lower and grooved along 
the upper side; midrib prominently raised beneath and 
grooveed above; lateral nerves il to 14 pairs, also 
prominent beneath and similarly pubescent, impressed and 
glabrous on the upper side, divaricate, tips strongly ascend- 
ing; cross bars with reticulations relatively prominent be- 
b d neath, likewise soft pubescent; stipule prong-like, fulvus pubes- 
cent and more or less striate, 5 to 8 mm long, curved 
about the stem. Spicate inflorescence usually from the low- 
er leaf axils, 5 to 10 cm long, stout, angular or striate, 
flower bearing from near the base, fulvus scurfy or pubes- 
cent, greenish in the fresh state, dark or dull brown when 
dry; flowers apparently easily falling, rigid, odorless, sessile, 
yellowish, subtended by bracteoles; calyx sessile, 4 mm long, 
3.5 mm thick, triangular, short velvety pubescent or densely 
puberulent on the exterior, thickly coriaceous, terminated by 
obtuse teeth; corolla 8- segmented, obovately oblong, imbricate 
in the slightly angular bud state, puberulent on the exterior 
except toward the narrowed glabrous base, the apical por- 
tion broadly obtuse and somewhat thickened, 3.5 mm wide, 
9 mm long; stamens 5, inserted about the basal portion of 
the ovary, included; filaments flattened and widest at the 
contiguous base, glabrous, about 4 mm long, very slender to- 
ward the distal end; anther 2 mm long by at least 0.75 
mm wide, compressed, basifixed, rounded at the apex, trun- 
cately rounded at the base, dehiscing along the edges; ovary 
2 mm across, subtruncate and sparsely ciliate at the apex, 
~~ roughened or irregularly rugose, rigid.
