A rigid, comparatively robust shrub, with nearly straight and 

 subglabrescent branches patent or spreading at about half a right 

 angle with the stem ; branchlets tomentose with rufous stellate 

 jointed rather short hairs; internodes mostly shorter than the leaves, 

 rather thickened ; leaves opposite, patent, subsessile, ovate-oblong, 

 obtuse at the apex, cordate at the base, fleshy-coriaceous, dark or 

 glaucous green, glabrous or glossy above, paler or brown and 

 shortly stellate-tomentellous sometimes almost obsoletely so 

 beneath, 3 to 5 in. long by 1 to II in. broad, the young ones 

 densely clothed with a cinnamon-coloured tomentum ; young 

 fruits ellipsoidal or obovoid, very shortly pedicellate, arranged 

 several together in subsessile clusters lateral on the branchlets in 

 the axils of fallen leaves, densely clothed with a cinnamon- 

 coloured tomentum consisting of rather short branched jointed 

 stellate hairs, about J in. long, J in. broad, i in. thick, surmounted 

 with a short saucer-shaped rim about y^ in. in diameter surround- 

 ing the base of the fallen style.

 in the National Herbarium in flower from the Congo collected by 

 Christian Smith which perhaps belongs to this species.
