2. C. impunctata Welw. ms. in Herb. 



A slender shrub, 7 to 9 ft. high ; branches twisted and bent in 

 various directions as if climbing, glabrous, lenticellate, armed at

 opposite, ovate, | to 1§ in. long by j to | in. wide, more or less 

 narrowed at both ends, glabrous except the nai-row shortly puberu- 

 lous or glabrate midrib and principal veins, membranous, green 

 on both sides, rather paler beneath, not pellucid-punctate, nearly 

 entire or somewhat crenate-dentate along the margin of the upper 

 part. Infructescence in the upper axils and terminal, in lax

 pedicels slender, ranging up to | in. long. Immature fruits drupa- 

 ceous, green, subglobose, ^ to i in. in diam., superior, based by the

 arranged in panicles 2 to 4 in. long which spring with the young 

 leaves from the divisions of the branchlets close to the extremities ; 

 calyx very small, deeply 4-cleft, shortly pubescent, with unequal
