Frutex. Eami vetiistiores giabri cinerei, cortice loDgitrorsum rimoso, 

 hornotini sub lente pilis minutissimis patentibiis parce pulverulento-adspersi. 

 Stipulae trianguläres v. triangulari-lanceolatae parvae deciduae; stipellae 

 minutae lineares. Foliola dimidio usque duplo longiora quam latiora, nervo 

 medio in sulca acute prominente, lateralibus utrinque 4 — 6, supra non v.
