margin more or less sinuate, above scabrous, below white (when 
young yellow) stellate-scurfy, the principal veins about 8 pairs, 2 
or 3 pairs radiating from near the base, connected by parallel wavy 
secondary ones, slender, but prominent below; basal glands small, 
inconspicuous; racemes terminal, solitary, 10-15 cm. long, the 
peduncles 3-4 cm. long, angled, the flowers mostly geminate, on 
pedicels 3-4 mm. long, the buds globose, 2 mm. in diameter; 
staminate flowers: thecalyx 5-parted nearly to the base,the segments 
nearly 3 mm. long, 2 mm. broad, ovate, obtuse, equal; petals 
exceeding the calyx by 1 mm., oblong-elliptical, the margin 
tomentose, strongly recurved; stamens 20 or more, about equalling
