A small tree or shrub, herbaceous portions rough with stellate hairs. Leaves 2-4 

 by I-I4 in., scarcely acnminate, unequally serrate, softer beneath, base rounded or 

 subcordate, S-nerved, secondaries arched ; petiole very short, pilose. Stipules subulate, 

 acuminate. Peduncles axillary, J in. ; pedicels as long as the peduncle. Flower-buds 

 oblong, dilated at the base, constricted in the middle, SepaU linear. Petals linear, 

 2-fid, one-third shorter than the sepals. Toms glabrous, scarcely exceeding the glands. 

 Anthers and style stellate-hairy. Stigma 4-parted. Ovules numerous. Drupe reddish- 

 brown, the size of a large pea, mesocarp fibrous ; stones 1-4, 1-3-eelled, pitted. — Very 

 great confusion exists in books and herbaria as to the synouymy of this and some nearly 

 allied species. 



Several di^itinct species are called <?. pilosa in Wallich's herbarium, and the labels 

 have in all probability been shifted ; moreover, it sometimes happens that two or three 

 diflfereut plants are included under the same letter.
