pubescent ; leaves lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, acute at the base, 
on a slender petiole up to 4 in. long, acuminate, membranous, glab- 
rous, glossy above, beneath pale-coloured or glaucescent, the lateral 
nerves very thin; flowers small, pedicelled, in small imvolucred 
ve Vv

tomentose ; leaves ovate-oblong to lanceolate, acute or acuminate at 
the base,.on a more or less tomentose petiole 4 to nearly an in. long, 
longer or shorter acuminate, firmly membranous, 33-7 in. long, 
above yellowish green and (except the immersed midrib) glabrous, 
neath pale-coloured and shortly tomentose, strongly net-veined 
between the nerves ; flowers in a bracted small umbel, on a short 
(23-34 lin.) shortly tomentose peduncle, arising singly from the 
axils of the leaves or from an axillary short tawny-tomentose shoot 
with or without young leaves and appearing as if racemose, or some- 
times truly in short corymbose racemes on a short tawny-pubescent 
peduncle ; involucre-leaflets concave-rotundate, puberulous ; periant 
pubescent outside ; filaments glabrous; anthers 4-locellate ; berries

long, bluntish apiculate, thick-chartaceous, glabrous above, beneath 
laucous and more or less densely puberulous, the net-veination 
etween the rather strong nerves thin but conspicuous; flowers 
apparently forming almost sessile umbels in the axils of the leaves ; 
peduncle in the fruiting specimens very thick and strong, hardly 3 _ 
lines long ; fruits pale straw-coloured, oblong, about 6-7 lin. long,
