formibusque, majoribus oblongis, 7 ad 11 cm longis, longe 

 petiolatis, basi longe decurrentibus, minoribus breviter petio- 

 latis, ovatis, obtusis, circiter 1 cm longis; infructescentiis um- 

 bellatis vel depauperato-cymosis, longe pedunculatis, calycis 

 cupulatis, circiter 4 mm longis, lobis oblongis, truncato-obtusis, 

 circiter 1.5 mm longis; folliculis 18 cm longis, 2 mm diametro. 



A scan dent, nearly glabrous shrub, the branchlets apparently 

 somewhat fleshy, pale brownish when dry, somewhat angular, 

 about 5 mm in diameter, sparingly appressed-pubescent. Leaves 

 coriaceous, obscurely crenate or undulate-crenate, sometimes 

 nearly entire, in very unequal pairs, the upper surface dull 

 olivaceous, the lower surface pale brownish; larger leaves of 

 each pair oblong, 7 to 11 cm long, 2.5 to 4.5 cm wide, long- 

 petioled, acute to very shortly and obtusely acuminate, the base 

 long-decurrent ; lateral nerves about 6 on each side of the mid- 

 rib, prominent, curved-ascending, the reticulations obsolete or 

 nearly so; petioles 2 to 5 cm long; smaller leaves of each pair 

 ovate to oblong-ovate, obtuse, entire, about 1 cm long, very 

 shortly petioled. Infructescences long-peduncled, the peduncles 

 about 25 cm long, the flowers umbellately arranged or depau- 

 perate-cymose at the apex, the subtending bracts oblong-elliptic 

 to spatulate, 3 to 8 mm long. Calyx cup-shaped, about 4 mm 

 long, slightly pubescent, the base narrowed, the lobes 5, oblong, 

 truncate-obtuse, about 1.5 mm long; pedicels slightly pubescent, 

 about 1.5 cm long. Follicles narrowly cylindric, about 18 cm 

 long, 2 mm in diameter, glabrous; seeds very numerous, brown, 

 about 1 mm long with a single hair at each end 2 to 2.5 mm 

 in length.
