slightly pointed teeth in the upper half, thickened and slightly

densely clustered in cymes; cymes three- to six-flowered, 
pedicels 1%4 to 1 line long, short, stout; bracteoles broadly 
ovate, truncate; flowers stellate. Sepals broadly oval, midrib 
faint. Petals rounded, nearly as broad as long, greenish- 
white tinged with purple. Stamens four, well developed, 
inserted into a prominent four-lobed disc. Ovary at first

ery in texture, bright green in color, ovate-lanceolate, rarely 
obovate, sessile or slightly petioled, margins five to ten-

broad. Stamens four. Pistil as in Myrsinites. Fruit 
3 lines long, inequilateral through abortion of one carpel, 
dehiscence loculicidal along the lateral superior face. Cap-
