■ i^ in., acuminated, coriaceous often ruddy (but not more so than some examples of 



0. eseulenta) ; petiole \ in. Pedicels short, usually less than J in., jointed at the base. 



Calyx-lahes broad, minutely pubescent.— This species is here distinguished from C. 



eseulenta solely by the minute 'pubescence of the pedicels.

Branehlets thick, glabrous, striate. Leaves 9 by 2J in., entire, coriaceous, nerves 

 much raised beneath ; petiole f in. Pedicels clustered, \ ip., buds glabrous. —It is 

 possible that this species may prove a variety of the preceding, but the loaves are much 

 broader, the fruit ovoid (instead of narrowly ellipsoid) as noted by Dr. Maingay.

A shrub, branehlets pubescent. Leaves 3J by H in., often somewhat cbovate, 

 obtuse suddenly narrowed but sometimes acuminate; petiole | in. Pedicels less

 minal tube elongate, stamens often 10. Seeds in bright red pulp. — The leaves have 

 regularly and closely placed serrations which prominently mark this species from aU 

 others and appear to have completely protected it against synonyms.
