 minatae, parte superiore decidua, inferiore persistente et indurescente. Folia 

 petiolis supra brevissime pilosulis, sub medio plerumque pauUo magis angu- 

 stata quam antice, sed basi ipsa rotundata v. obtusa et breviter emarginata, 

 chartacea v. pergamacea, raargine plana, adulta supra nitida, subtus palli- 

 diora, nervo medio inferne subimpresso, lateralibus supra prominulis et reti- 

 culato-anastomosantibus. Inflorescentiae in ramis abbreviatis terminales,

 brevissime coalita, 2 mm. longa; antherae suborbiculares , perianthii lobis vix 

 breviores. Ovarium eUiptico-oblongum. Styli inferne coaliti, 1,5 mm.
