 broader and shorter than the two inner, which are "2 in. long, all 

 glabrous but very slightly ciliate ; glands very many, very minute, in

 A glabrous climbing shrub ; branchlets stout, as thick as a goose-quill, 

 obscurely angled, dark brown when dry with a few pale lenticels, ultimate 

 ones quadrangular. Leaves coriaceous ; elliptic-oblong, obtusely and 

 abruptly short acuminate at apex, rounded or slightly cuneate at base ; 

 upper surface shining, pale olivaceous-brown when dry, lower dull and 

 paler chocolate- brown, often glandular- dotted ; margins recurved; 3-5 

 to 5-5 in. long, 1*5 to 2'25 in. broad ; midrib slender, impressed above, 

 sharply prominent beneath ; main nerves 5 to 7 pairs, starting at an 

 angle of 70° with the midrib and curving upwards to meet in a faint 

 looped intramarginal nerve, impressed above, raised beneath, fairly 

 conspicuous when dry ; secondary nerves few or none ; reticulations 

 obliquely transverse; petiole -5 to -75 in. long, bordered by the decurrent 

 margins of the blade, which are connivent. Cymes axillary, erect, as 

 long as the petiole ; peduncle "5 in. long, somewhat flattened, stout ; 

 branches 3 at first, again subdividing, crowded ; pedicels quadrangular, 

 •1 to "2 in. long ; bracts ovate, acute, sheathing the bases of the joints 

 and pedicels ; buds clavate, the tip oblong ; flowers yellow. Calyx -1 in. 

 long, thick at base ; lobes 4, ciliate, the two outer ovate-acute, the 

 2 inner oblong rounded, all with many small glands at the base within 

 and 1 to 2 fairly large ones. Gorolla-tv\ie cylindric, '3 to '4 in. long, 

 glabrous except the puberulous lower third inside ; lobes broad, blunt, 

 ovate, '15 to -2 in. long. Stamens occupying the upper half of the 

 tube; filaments short, broad; anthers linear-lanceolate, apiculate, '125 in. 

 long. Ovary conical, 4-angled, glabrous, with an angled style and acute 

 stigma ; cells 2-ovuled. Berry ellipsoid, 1-5 in. long, 1 in. in diameter ; 

 pericarp leathery, smooth, shining. Seeds usually 2 only, on a thin
