 brown when dry, glabrous, the midrib and 14 to 18 pairs of thin 

 spreading nerves sometimes puberulous on the lower; length 4 to 8 or 

 even 10 in. ; breadth 1*5 to 3 in. ; petiole "25 to *4 in. ; stipules tubular 

 below the 2-lobed mouth, slightly longer than the petioles. Flowers 

 in fascicles of 4 to 6 (sometimes fewer), from the axils of fallen leaves, 

 about '75 in. long, on stalks from "3 to "5 in. long. Galyx '5 in. long, 

 narrowly campanulate, with dilated limb deeply divided into 5 narrow 

 flexuose linear-lanceolate spreading lobes. Gorolla slighty exceeding 

 the calyx, tubular, glabrous except a pubescent band at the base of the 

 interior of the tube ; the mouth with 5 oblong obtuse lobes. Anthers 5, 

 linear, sessile, at the base of the corolla-tube, *6 in. long. Fruit sub-
