entirely glabrous, except the bracteoles, ovary and sometimes the 
flowering twigs. Branches fexuous, 1—3 mm. thick, greyish-brown ; 
flowering twigs sometimes sparsely setulosely puberulous ; internodes 
‘5—1'5 em. long. Leaves large on the branches, small and caducous. 
on the flowering twigs; lamine of the large leaves coriaceous, lan- 
ceolate, 7—16 cm. long, 2°5—7 cm. broad, with long acuminate 
apex and subcuneate base; upper surface brown-olivaceous, sub- 
nitid, obscurely reticulate; lower surface dull, brown; midrib pro- 
longed to extreme tip ; nerves obscure on upper surface, 4—7, an- 
astomosing near the margin ; cross-nervules indistinct ; reticulation 
well defined ; petiole subterete, slender, 5 mm. long ; stipules not 
seen; lamine on flowering twigs 1:5—2°7 cm. long, 4—6 mm. 
broad, lanceolate, with sub-acuminate, acute or subacute apex and 
subcuneate base. Flower-ciusters axillary and strung at 6—S mm. 
intervals along the lateral and terminal small-leaved twigs, 3—4 mm. 
in diam., of few minute flowers, # and 2 mixed; bracteoles scari- 
ous or membranous, deciduously bristly on outer surface, glabrous 
on inner. of flowers sessile, ovoid, glabrous, 2 mm. long ; sepals
