 nate ; leaflets 5 to 7, oblong-lanceolate, rarely ovate, opposite, thinly 

 coriaceous, shortly acuminate, the base cuneate or i-ounded ; upper 

 surface glabrous, greenish when dry, the lower brown, sparsely (the 

 midrib and nerves rather densely) lepidote ; main nerves 6 to 9 (rarely 

 11) pairs, ascending, curved; length 2 to 5 (occasionally 7) in.,; breadth 

 I to 2 (occasionally 2-5) in. ; petiolules '2 in., that of the terminal one 

 sometimes '3 in.. Panicles supra-axillary, solitary, 3 to 8 in. lono-, 

 (occasionally 10 to 12) in., the branches divaricating, densely-flowered. 

 Flowers depressed-globular, about "035 in. in diam., on pedicels 

 about as long. Calyx cupular, or rather flat, short, with 5 orbicular 

 blunt spreading lobes, pubescent-lepidote outside. Petals 5, much 

 longer than the calyx, elliptic or obovate-i'ofcund, unequal, blunt, 

 concave, glabrous, sometimes granular outside. Staminal tube shorter 

 than the petals, truncate-campanulate, the mouth open, obscurely 5- 

 lobed : anthers broadly ovoid, inserted by a very short filament just 

 below the moutli of the tube, exserted, or inflexed and therefore included.
