woolly beneath; petioles 1-3 mm. long; fascicles rather few- 
flowered; pedicels 4-8 mm. long, slightly thickened above ; 
sepals suborbicular, 2 mm. long, the inner somewhat larger 
than the outer; corolla-lobes suborbicular, 2 mm. in diameter, 
truncate at the base, erose; appendages lanceolate or ovate- 
lanceolate, acute; staminodia ovate-lanceolate, erose, obtuse: 
ovary hairy; berries oblong-oval or oval, 10-12 mm. long, 
often tipped by the persistent style.

More rigid and contracted in habit than any form of Bume-

type of leaf-blades and the softer and more silky character of 
the woolly pubescence.

rarely becoming nearly 1 meter thick; leaves various; blades 
oblong- oblanceolate, oblong-obovate or elliptic, acutish, 
rounded or retuse at the apex, glabrous above, gradually or 
cuneately narrowed at the base; petioles 2-15 mm. long; fas- 
cicles few- or many-flowered; pedicels 5-8 mm. long, con- 
siderably enlarged towards the base of the calyx; sepals sub- 
orbicular or orbicular-ovate, about 3 mm. long, concave; 
corolla-lobes orbicular-ovate, 2mm. long; appendages ovate-
