Arbuscula. Folia breviter petiolata, ampla, pergamacea. Flores 
inter minores, in axillis solitarii, pedunculis abbreviatis validis 
bracteis imbricatis onustis. 
The affinity of this genus is with Uvariastrum Engler, which has 
flowers with three large sepals, outer petals much longer than the 
inner, and bilobed, verrucose stigmas. Jt is also near the Indian 
genus Alphonsea Hook. f. & Thoms., but its calyx and the con- 
nection of its stamens are quite different. `

simo ; floribus ex nodis ramorum ortis parviusculis ; calyce arcte 
connato crassiusculo; petalis valvatis, tribus exterioribus cras- 
siusculis extrinsecus sericeis, tribus interioribus parum minoribus
