ceous, glabrous, much reticulate when dry; elliptic or elliptic-oblong,

pairs, brown, scurfy and prominent on the lower surface, parallel, 
slightly curved and interarching near the margin; transverse nervules 
subparallel, hardly more prominent than the conspicuously netted 
reticulation; petiole stout, dark, 12—14 mm. long. Flowers: ¢ in 
4—12-flowered rusty-pubescent umbels from short woody axillary 
tubercles ; pedicels 7—10 mm. long, slender, the minute bracteole at 
or a little above the middle; perianth in bud depressed-globose,
