Frutex vel arbor parva, ramulis adultis cinereo-corticatis ; foliorum petiole brevissimo, lamina chartacea 

 vel subcoriacea oblonga supra nitlda subtus fere glabra quam typi minore ; floribus ad axillas solitariis sub- 

 sessilibus ; petalis anguste lanceolatis corrugatis basi connatis ; carpellis 3-4. 



French Ubangi, Lere to Ham.
