oblongo-ellipticis, usque ad 20 cm longis, inaequilateralibus, plus 

 minusve falcatis, acutis vel leviter acuminatis, margine denti- 

 culatis, basi acutis vel subrotundatis, nervis utrinque circiter 

 10 ; inflorescentiis axillaribus, 1- ad 3-floris, usque ad 5 cm longis, 

 bracteis lanceolatis, liberis; floribus 4 cm longis, calycibus per-

An erect shrub or suffrutescent plant apparently sparingly 

 branched, all parts more or less densely covered with pale- 

 ferruginous, weak, shining hairs, the younger parts very densely 

 pubescent. Branches terete, or somewhat compressed when dry. 

 Leaves opposite, in somewhat unequal pairs, chartaceous, oblong 

 to oblong-elliptic, 12 to 20 cm long, 2 to 12 cm wide, inequi- 

 lateral, somewhat falcate, apex acute or slightly acuminate, 

 margins distantly denticulate, base acute or rounded, very in- 

 equilateral, the lamina blunt or usually rounded and extending 

 farther on one side than on the other which is acute; lateral 

 nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib; petioles 4 to 7 cm 

 long, those of the smaller leaves of each pair shorter than those 

 of the larger ones. Inflorescence axillary, solitary, few-flowered, 

 5 pm long or less, the flowers 1 to 3; bracts few, lanceolate, 

 acuminate, free, 1 cm long. Calyx in anthesis 1.5 cm long, in 

 fruit 2 cm long, persistent, the lobes 5, lanceolate, acuminate, 

 somewhat shorter than the tube, the pedicels 1 to 1.5 cm long. 

 Corolla white, 4 cm long, the tube narrow, the lobes rounded. 

 Fruit lanceolate, including the persistent slender style about 

 3 cm long, slightly pubescent, the fruit proper about as long 

 as the calyx, the style exserted.

Not closely allied to any Philippine form known to me, well character- 

 ized by its rather uniformly dense ferruginous pubescence, its opposite 

 inequilateral leaves, few flowers, narrow free bracts, and persistent calyces.
