lata; foliola subopposita, ex oblongo vel subovato elliptica, saepius larga, utrinque

 marginem adscendentibus subtus prominentibus, supra sublaevia, subtus laxe reti-

 nullis, glandulis basi immersis ornata; paniculae axillares, elongatae, novellae dense 

 fusco-pilosae, adultae pilis brevibus glandulisque subclavatis laxe adspersae (non vero,

 tenerrime glanduloso-pilosis; germinis rudimentum minutissimum, dimerum, glabrum; 

 fructus — mihi non suppetebant, nee autori nisi speeiminis a Teysmann in Celebes 

 lecti, ex autore »probabiliter« huc recensendi — abortu monococci, obovato-globosi, 

 magni.
