386. M.? (Eumiconia) nitens (sp. n.); glaberrima, ramulis 
teretibus v. junioribus compressis, foliis petiolatis ovato- 
oblongis v. sublanceolatis obtusis rarius acutiusculis coriaceis 
integerrimis, preter nervulum marginalem trinerviis, supra

paucifloris, calycis dentibus brevissimis, ovario triloculari.— 
This comes very near to De Candolle’s character of M. 
Martiana (Prod. III. p. 186) ; but the leaves, which are 3-4

thick, as short or shorter than the calyx, and bear from three 
to five flowers, nearly as large as, and with something of the 
appearance of those of 7ococa. The young fruit adheres 
above the middle to the thick fleshy calyx, and is surmounted 
by a remarkably large fleshy convex iba
