cuneate, entire, the upper surface glabrous or at the nerves 

 with a few scattered stellate hairs, on the lower surface nerves 

 and veins densely stellate- pilose; nerves and veins faint on the 

 upper surface and only slightly prominent beneath; main nerves 

 alternate, 18 — 17, sub- ascending. Inflorescence large; panicles 

 with numerous, many -flowered alternate branches, about as long 

 as the leaves, stellately rusty -pilose. Flowers pedicellate; 

 calyx with 5 obtuse teeth, externally densely stellately rusty - 

 pilose, inner side glabrous. Petals 5, both surfaces glabrous, 

 ovate, obtuse, papyraceous, 1,5 mm long, 0,5 mm wide; tube 

 obovate-subcampanulate, obtusely crenulate or entire, both sur- 

 faces glabrous, papyraceous, 0,5 mm high; anthers 5, minute, 

 ovate, inserted at the margin of the tube; ovary subglobose; 

 style minute; stigma subglobose. Fruit ovate-globose, exter-

 Leaves 6,5 — 13 cm long, 3 — 5,5 cm wide, papyraceous or sub- 

 coriaceous, oblong or elliptic-oblong, rarely obovate, the apex 

 acuminate, the bases cuneate, upper surface glabrous, pale 

 green (when dry), except the puberulous midrib, the lower pale 

 brown, glabrous, the midrib and nerves with scattered brown 

 stellate-scale-like hairs; main nerves 7 — 10, slightly prominent 

 on the lower surfaces, oblique, petiole 0,5 — 2 cm long, some- 

 times compressed. Panicles solitary, axillary, branching, many- 

 flowered, 4 — 5 cm long. Flowers 1mm in diam. globular, pe- 

 dicels about as long as themselves, crowded, numerous, subsessil. 

 Calyx cupular, 5-lobed, with brown scale- like hairs externally. 

 Petals 5, oval, on both surfaces glabrous, concave. Staminal- 

 tube globular, shorter than the petals, its mouth wide and
