Leaves coriaceous; elliptic-oblong or obovate-oblong, shortly acumi- 
nate at apex, cuneately acute at base; upper surface olive-brown 
when dry, minutely lepidote pubescent on the midrib and nerves 
otherwise nearly glabrous, under surface covered with very minute

main nerves 15—20 pairs slightly raised above, slightly curving to 
within the margin and then sharply bent to join in intramarginal 
loops ; transverse nervules many, subparallel, often branched, more 
distinct on the upper than on the lower surface, and enclosing the 
minutely areolate reticulation; petiole stout, 2°5—3 cm. long, 
minutely tomentose, bordered above by the decurrent margins of the 
blade. Spikes: 3 about 12 cm. long, very slender: @ solitary, 16
