A tree ; branches flexuous (as if twining), very stout, with rough soft red-brown 

 bark. Leaves 4-9 by H-2^ in., brown when dry, smooth, coriaceous, shining abovu, 

 narrowed at the base ; petiole \-\ in., stout ; stipules broadly ovate-lanceolate, sheath- 

 ing, coriaceous. Cymes from the upper axil of each branch ; branches spreading-, 

 stout in fruit, ebracteate or with a few caducous triangular bracts. Flowers shortly 

 pedicelled. Calyx turbinate, minutely toothed. Corolla ~^ in. diara. Stigma entire. 

 Berry globose, - in. diam. Seeds peltate, smooth ; albumen uniform.

 flower to distinguish this from R. rugulosa. Though stated to be found over so great 

 an area, I have seen no specimens.
