 rather marked transverse furrows.

This species is closely alhed to P. pauciflora Bunge but'has dark-colored branch- 

 lets, shorter pedicels solitary or in twos, a narrower cupula, longer, less acute calyx- 

 teeth, larger petals and longer stamens. Further differences in the leaves and 

 fruits will probably be found when complete material is known.
