angled, pale-brown or cinereous when dry. Leaves coriaceous, oblong- 

 elliptic, gradually but rather bluntly acuminate, rounded and somewhat 

 unequal-sided or narrowed ; both surfaces dull-brown when dry, opaque, 

 the midrib very prominetit on the lower surface ; main-nerves 10 to 12 

 pairs, curved, spreading, more prominent on the lower than on the upper 

 surface; length 6 to 9 in.; breadth 2 to 275 in.; petioles "l in. or less; stipules 

 triangular, keeled, acute, about as long as the petioles, sometimes forming 

 a connate4-foothed tube. Floioers about 'Sin. long; their pedicels about 

 •3 in., collected in fascicles on tubercle- like, very shortly branched, mi- 

 nutely bracteolate cymes in the axils of fallen leaves. Calyx narrowly 

 campauulate, constricted about the middle ; the mouth truncate but 

 with 4 minute sharp teeth. Corolla slightly longer than the calyx, sal- 

 ver-shaped ; the tube cylindric, hairy within, shorter than the 4 oblong 

 obtuse spreading lobes of the limb. Anthers linear, sessile, exserted. 

 Stigma exserted, with 2 ovate-oblong spreading thick lobes. Ovary 2- 

 celled, with numerous ovules on 4 placentas. Fruit the size and shape 

 of a pepper-corn, smooth ; seeds numerous, triangular, somewhat com- 

 pressed ; the testa pitted, shining, pale-brown.

 both surfaces brown, the upper tinged with olivaceous and shining,

 pules about "15 in. long, broadly triangular at the base with a long acu- 

 minate apex, pubescent. Flowers '3 to '35 in. long, on pubescent pedi- 

 cels from "5 to "15 in. long, in short cymes from the axils of fallen leaves, 

 sub-globular and less than 1 in. in diam. ; the branches very short, and 

 with small bracteoles. Calyx pubescent outside, campanulate ; the limb 

 as long as the tube, truncate but with 5 or 6 minute teeth. Corolla-iMhe 

 •125 in. long, glabrous within, the limb longer than the tube with 5 or 

 6 oblong blunt spreading lobes. Anthers broadly ovate, apiculate, exserted, 

 on filaments as long as themselves. Stigma exserted, clavate, separating 

 into 2 broad lobes ; ovary 2-celled with many ovules on 2 placentas. 

 JVmi7 like a small peppercorn, with 10 to 12 vertical ridges, glabrous j 

 seeds compressed, triangular, grooved.
