Frutex magnus scandens in fructu tantum omnino glaberrimus, 

 ramis graciliusculis junioribus praesertim tetragonis, nodis plus minus 

 inllatis, lateralibus ample patentibus arcuatim ascendentibus. Folia 

 modesta coriacea nitentia elliptica apice modice acuminata acuta basi 

 sspius subrotundata, brevissime petiolata ; venae jjrimarise utrinque 

 manifestse subtus conspicuiores, lateralibus utrinque 5-6 ; stiptclce

 nonnunquam obscure dentatum. Capitiila in umbellis numerosa 

 terminalibus disposita, pedunculis gracillimis nonnunquam obsolete
