reality they are the produce of one sd the same tree, only taken from 
differently aged branches ; oblong and tapering, some times ovate- 
oblong, or even very broad-ovate almost cordate, generally alter- 
nate, in younger shoots opposite, from three to six inches long, two 
to three or even four inches broad, terminating into a long acumen, 
rounded, sometimes unequal at the báse, perfectly smooth, shining 
above, pale below, witha very elevated rib, and long, sub-opposite, 
. oblique, arched nerves which unite into sub-marginal reticulated 
veins. The leaves are. promiscuously single and ternate, or even 
binate on one and the same branch ; but in general they have a ten- 
dency to become ternate on younger branches.— Petiols slender, groo- 
ved, as well as the peduncles covered with short hairs, which occa- 
sionally continue along the principal vessels on the under side of the 
Teaves ; from one to two inches long; partial ones, short; they are all 
articulated at both extremities.— Panicles more or less elevated 
above the leaves, large, spreading, many times branched, the first 
divisions being long, the subsequent ones gradually shorter.—Pe- 
duncles slender, lax, together with the calyx hairy, with subulate de- 
. ciduous bractes under each ramification.— FJowers very. numerous 
and dense, ternate, yellow, delightfully fragrant, elevated on longish 
pedicels to nearly the same level; the intermediate ones sessile.— 
Tube of the corol about half an iil long, cylindric, striated. pre 
mens slightly elevated above the mouth. see
