the blade. Flowers: 3 numerous in branching panicles from the 
branchlets below the leaves, 8—15 cm. long, the rhachises zigzag, 
angular, the branches scurfy, ending in subumbellate cymules; 
pedicels slender 3—5 mm. long; perianth thin, globular, 2—3 mm. 
in diam., puberulous without, glabrous within with vertical nerves, 
teeth 2—3, triangular, short; andreecium sessile, subglobular; 
anthers about 10, connate at the sides, the apices free, incurved: 9Q 
in axillary stout, rigid, spreading, rusty-puberulous panicles 3—4 cm. 
long and about 3 cm. broad; perianth ovoid-globose, glabrous, fleshy,
