faintly ferruginous-pubescent, more strongly so on the nerves ; 
10—17 cm. long, 4--6 cm. broad; midrib slender but prominent, 
deeply impressed and puberulous above, raised beneath; main 
nerves 6—10 pairs, impressed above, the pairs sub-opposite, curved 
to and along the margin, the upper ones joining in loops; transverse 
nervules many but faint; joined by a minutely areolate reticulation ; 
petiole slender, 1—2 cm. long. Flowers in umbellules on rather 
short (2—3 mm.) peduncles in very short (3—5 mm.) axillary or 
lateral racemes, the whole shorter than the petiole; involucral 
bracts 5, membranous, glabrous inside, the margins fimbriate, 4 
usually orbicular and concave, 1 obovate; flowersin each umbellule 5; 
perianth-lobes oblong, densely golden-villous without. Stamens 
normally 9 with much villous hair at the base, the filaments slender, 
the anthers subquadrate obtuse, the 3 inner with a pair of sessile 
oblong glands about halfway up the filaments. Staminodes of 9 
flowers and fruit unknown.

somewhat angled, uppermost darker, innovations minutely tawny-

or less prominent beneath in a network of reticulation; petiole 
rather slender, glabrous, 12—20 mm. long. Flowers in very slender-

(2 shorter than 3); umbellules of 3 about 8—10 mm. broad when
