23. CLEISTANTHUS Kine, Jabl. in Pflanzenreich, IV, 147; 
VIII, 40; (1915). A small tree, 3—5 m. high, with spreading 
branches. branchlets pale brown, glabrous, 3—5 mm. thick; young 
twigs stramineous, glabrous; internodes 2—3 cm. long. Lamine 
coriaceous, ovate, 11—15 cm. long, 4—-8 cm. broad, with acuminate 
apex and rounded to subcuneate base ; upper surface green, glabrous, 
subnitid, reticulate; lower surface greenish-brown, dull, very finely 
and closely adpressedly velutinose, reticulate; midrib and nerves 
slender ; nerves 5—7; cross-nervules rather distant and irregular, 
sometimes scarcely distinguishable from the general open reticula- 
tion ; petiole slender, glabrous, 7—8 mm. long, closely wrinkled 
stipules not seen. lower-clusters few, of ¢ or 2 flowers only 
bracteoles minute, ovate, entirely glabrous. o flowers not seen. 
2 perianth seen only in fruit, sessile, ovoid; calyx entirely glabrous 
with lanceolate sepals; petals broadly subspathulately obovate 
shortly clawed, subcrenulate, °5 mm. long ; disk and annulus glab- 
rous; ovary not seen. Capsule on a stout, glabrous, 5—7 mm. long 
pedicel, 8 mm. in vertical, 1-1 cm. in transverse diam., glabrous.

24. CLEISTANTHUS MYRIANTHUS, Kurz For. Fl. 370 (1877). 
Branches 3—7 mm. thick, glabrous below, scurfy-pubescent higher 
up; young twigs 2—3 mm. thick, fulvous tomentose at first, later 
scurfy-pubescent ; internodes -5—2°5cm. long. Lamine coriaceous; 
lanceolate, 10—30 cm. long, 3:°5—10 cm. broad, with acuminate 
apex and rounded base; upper surface glabrous, subnitid, olivace- 
ous, reticulate ; lower surface finely adpressedly velutino-pubescent- 
rusty to subsilvery; nerves 12—20; petiole 1 cm. long, + — ful- 
vous or subsilvery tomentose, transversely wrinkled ; stipules mi- 
nute, adpressed, triangular, rusty-tomentose. Flower-clusters in the 
axils of leaves and branches, °5—1 cm. in diam., of numerous flowers, 
é@ and @ mixed; bracteoles broadly ovate, fulvous-tomentose on 
outer surface, glabrous on inner, subfimbriate. ¢ flowers ovoid in 
bud, subsessile, 3—4 mm. long, glabrous; sepals deltoid; petals 
broadly obcuneate, ‘5 mm. long; pistillode conically ovoid, acute, 
trisuleate with trifid apex. 9 flowers larger than the ¢ , subsessile 
turbinate, 4—5 mm. long, glabrous; sepals deltoid or lanceolate ;
