 beneath prominent, anastomosing, the reticulations lax, obscure ; petio- . 

 lules puberulent, about 5 mm long. Inflorescences in the upper axils, 

 and in the axils of fallen leaves, solitar}^, spiciform, unbranched, 4 cm

 glabro vel subglabro, 4-loculare. 



A tree, nearly glabrous except the innovations which are somewhat
