All the specimens quoted above are remarkable for their 

 persistent bracts, sub-spa thulate at the base of the cymes and 

 to each flower. The flowers arc in a very young state, and in 

 the fruiting specimen the bracts are all fallen.

Tree. Leaves thin, sub-coriaceous, elliptic, narrowed 

 gradually to the base, shortly acutely acuminate ; nerves 

 horizontal above, 22 pairs, rather fine with the secondary 

 nervules nearly as prominent, meeting in a nearly straight 

 intramarginal vein close to the edge ; on the underside are 

 scattered pustules on the reticulations, 4-5 in. long, 2 in. 

 wide, upper side dotted with translucent glands, petiole • 25 

 in. long. Cymes in uppermost axils, peduncle 1 in. long, 

 branches '75 in. long. Flowers crowded at summit. Calyx 

 obconic .1 in. long, margin undulate. Petals free, obovate,
