A very remarkable species, of which I have seen only two fragments. The leaves are 

 polished' above, extraordinarily thick, narrowed into a very thick petiole \ in. long. 

 Cyme 1 in., sparingly branched, branches apparently 3-flowered; pedicels \ in. 

 Flowers ? only with the corolla. Calyx of 5 short rounded ciliolate lobes. l\tals
