Near Fagrosa obovata WALL., but differs from it in having much thinner 

 shorter and broader leaves with an obtusely cuspidate apex. The structure 

 of the anther- cells is very peculiar. They are perfectly solid, and in cross 

 section there is seen practically no room for pollens. The anthers are apparently 

 constituted of parenchyrnatous cells with numerous trabecules. On the surface 

 of the anther-cells, there is a slit or rather a groove, and there we can find 

 some pollens evidently scattered along the groove.
