This is a very distinct species ; the branchlets appear fistulose 

 and angular ; the leaves are broader than other species, being 

 6i inches long, and 4 inches broad, on a petiole of 2 or 2^ inches ; 

 the panicle, on a lengthened peduncle, does not exceed 2 inches 

 in length ; the flowers are small, and densely tomentose*.
