small. Leaves chartaceo-coriaceous, in whorls of 4 to 6; lanceolate, 
acuminate and mucronate at apex, acuminate at base; upper surface 
shining, glabrous, areolate, lower tawny-villous, pubescent on the 
midrib and nerves; margins somewhat recurved; 10—16 cm. long, 
3—5 cm. broad; midrib slender, raised on both surfaces; main 
nerves 6—8 pairs, curving upwards to join in small loops near the 
margin; transverse nervules straight, obscure as is the reticulation, 
which under the lens seems punctate on the upper surface; petiole 
moderately stout, rusty-pubescent, 1—2 cm. long. lowers in sessile 
axillary or lateral umbellules supported by chaffy deciduous scales ; 
involucral bracts orbicular, deciduous; flowers about 4 in each um- 
bellule; perianth-tube 2°5 mm. long ; perianth-lobes obovate, obtuse, 
3°5 mm. long, densely villous without, glabrous within. Stamens of 
3 tlowers unknown. WStaminodes of ? flowers 9, those of the outer 
two rows linear-clavate 1:5 mm. long, the filaments villous, those of 
the 3rd row similar but with a pair of large subreniform glabrous 
glands a little above the base. Ovary obovoid, hirsute on top ; 
style slender, curved; stigma small, 3-lobed. Fruit a globose drupe 
nearly 1 cm. in diam., seated on the enlarged rugose cup-shaped 
perianth-tube which is surmounted by the persistent lobes and 
staminodes; pericarp shining, glabrous.

(1831), III. 31 (1832) and Syst. Laur. 591. A tree; branchlets 
slender, pale brown, uppermost rusty-tomentose; terminal buds 
lanceolate 1—1°5 cm. long, with many acuminate glabrous chaffy 
imbricate scales. Leaves coriaceous, in whorls of 4 to 6; lanceolate 
elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate, acuminate often caudately at 
apex, cuneate at base; upper surface shining, smooth, lower glau- 
cous or glaucescent, finely puberulous when young; 7—12 cm. long, 
3—5 em. broad; midrib red, slender, raised on both surfaces; main 
nerves § to 10 pairs, slender, rather irregular, curved to and along 
the margin, slightly impressed on the upper surface, raised beneath ; 
reticulation obscure; petiole slender, 7—13 mm. long. Flowers 
sessile or peduncled in fascicles on the internodes between the 
verticils or at the verticils themselves, supported by orbicular basal 
bracts; 3 in globose heads up to 1 cm. in diam., when in bud 
in shortly-peduncled umbellules supported by 4 concave early cadu- 
cous hispid bracts, the outer ones keeled and 4 mm. long; umbel-
