À species well characterized by its rather thick, narrowly oblong or 
almost strap-shaped, rather abruptly acuminate, obscurely nerved leaves 
and its slender, lax, few-flowered cymes which are born in terminal 
fascicles, 2 to 4 at the tip of each branchlet. Judging from the Ovary 
characters the capsules should be 2-valved.
