Arbor 7 — 10 mm alta „ligno albido": rami vetustiores glabrescentes v. glabri, 

 ceretes, tenuiter et irregulariter striati, brunnei y. nigrescentes, bornotini angulati. 

 Stipulae juxta petioli basin prodeuntes, 1,5 — 2 mm longae, lanceolato-subulatae. 

 Folia 8 — 10 mm longe petiolata, elliptica v. ovato-lanceolata, basi plus minus cuneata, 

 apice acunrinata, 2'/ 2 — 3-plo longiora quam latiora, fere usque ad basin crenato-dentata, 

 crenis postice sensim minoribus, sed evidentius apice glanduloso-incrassatis v. -emar- 

 ginatis, infimis ad callos glandulosos in paginam intrantes reductis, glabra v. ad nervum 

 medium obsolete pilosula, supra nitida. Flores verisimiliter monomorphi, remotiusculi; 

 pedunculi 2 — 3 cm lougi, 2— 3 mm crassi, indumento ramorum; prophylla subopposita

 vissimis parce et obsolete puberulus, „coloratus", sepalis 5 — 8 mm latis lanceolato-
