7. KopsiA MACEOPHYLLA, Hook. f. Fl. Br. Ind. III. 639 (1882). A 

 shrub, 6 to 10 feet high ; branchlets dark brown, the size of a goose- 

 quill, smooth. Leaves thinly coriaceous when fresh, chartaceous when 

 dry ; elliptic-oblong or oblong-obovate, obtusely short caudate-acuminate 

 at apex, cuneate at base ; margins only slightly or not recurved ; upper 

 surface light green with yellow towards the centre when fresh and 

 with a metallic lustre when dry, lower surface pale brown, very 

 minutely pubescent especially on the nerves ; 5 to 9 in. long, 2 to 

 2-5 in. broad ; midrib stout, ending in a gland at the apex ; main nerves 

 18 to 22 pairs, raised on both surfaces, sometimes branched, at first 

 straight and parallel, starting at an angle of about 55° with the midrib, 

 then slightly curving to join in an intramarginal nerve close to the 

 edge ; secondary nerves few and reticulations prominent above when 

 dry ; petiole none or at most "1 in. long, those of each pair of leaves 

 joined by a slight ridge at the node. Cymes pseudo-terminal, with a 

 short (-5 to "7 in.) stout peduncle and few, usually 2, thick branches, 

 1 to 3 in. long, densely covered with small broadly ovate pubescent 

 imbricate ciliate bracts, "1 to '15 in. long ; the branches not again

Haviland's No. 3042 from Borneo comes very near this, but the tube of the corolla 

 is dilated near the top ; the bracteate branches of the inflorescence are longer; and the 

 leaves have a dark upper surface, more irregular main-nerves and the marginal nerve 

 farther from the edge, and with another more slender outside it. But the material 

 is insufficient for description.
