dark brown bark, the younger portion. of the twigs glabrous, 
old branchlets roughened by the large leaf scars. Leaves 
numerous, drying dull brown on both sides, glabrous, margi- 
nal portion curved upon the nether side, entire or subentire 
above the middle, horizontal or descending, obtuse at both 
ends or acute and mucronately pointed at the apex, oblong 
or occasionally obovate, the larger ones 7 em long with the 
petiole, 2.5 cm wide across the middle, the smallest ones 
broadly oblancedlate, shining and nearly black in the dry 
state on the upper surface, dull brown beneath; midvein 
Straight, prominent beneath, caniculate above; usually only 
one pair of lateral veins arising 8 mm from the base, as- 
cending, curved and connivent into the apex; petiole at 
least 5 mm long, thick, glabrate, caniculate above, reddish 
brown on the dry specimens. Flowers in small axillary 
clusters; slender pedicel slightly recurved, whitish, 1.33 em 
- long, glabrous, its distal end expanded into a saucer shaped 
disk 2.5 mm across and whose truncate edge is minutely 
ciliate; calyx 3.5 mm high, cup shaped, rigidly coriaceous, 
glabrate, the basal two thirds united, the apical portion 
terminated into 5 rather broad teeth whose apices are most- 
. ly acute, the outer marginal portion of the teeth puberulent; 
corolla greenish white, 4.5 mm long, the 5 segments con- 
tiguous in the bud state, ultimately free and oblong, gla- 
brous, obtuse at the apex; stamens 10, included, becoming ex- 
posed by pushing off the corolla, inserted upon the basal 
inner portion ofa glabrous irregularly lobed or pointed rim; 
filaments 2.5 mm long, also glabrous, compressed and widen- 
ed toward the base; anthers erect, basifixed, nearly as long, 
auriculately lobed at the base, gradually tapering to the 
blunt apex, on the inner side apparently with a pair of 
linear sac-like extensions from above the middle to nearly 
the base; ovary subglobose, 2 mm in diameter, glabrous 
and almost black in the dry state, obscurely rugose; neck 
at least 3 mm long, straight, glabrous, terminated by a 
minute stigma.
