simple and peduncled or sessile and branched from the base, and arise 
rom above the scars of the fallen leaves and from the axils of the 
leaves ; calyx about a line long, hemispherical, narrowed in a pedicel- 
like base of the length of the calyx itself, smooth, the limb distinctly 
4-lobed, the lobes rounded, nearly 4 lin. long; petals 4, obovate-

long, blunt-apiculate or shortly and bluntish acuminate, glaucescent 
and opaque beneath, the lateral nerves thin but prominent, rather 
distant, anastomosing along the margin; flowers small, white, 
sessile with a narrowed calyx-base, usually by threes, forming stiff, 
short, brachiate, glabrous, sessile panicles branched already from the 
base, solitary or several together arising from above the scars of the 
fallen leaves or rarely axillary ; calyx smooth, hemispherical, about 
a line long, with a thick pedicel-like contracted base nearly as long, 
the limb obsoletely and broadly toothed and truncate; petals 4,
