longis, antheris oblongis, 3 mm. longis, introrse dehiscentibus, basi 

 obtusis; ovario breviter stipitato, leviter pubescente, 1-loculari, placentis

Indo-China, Tonkin, Chapa, A. Pctclot 5947, April, 1936, ait. about 

 1500 m. 

 A 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.

The species is closely allied to the Malaysian A. excelsa Noronha. It 

 has already been recorded from Chapa by Lecomte as an additional 

 species for the Indo-Chinese flora.
