We did not see any specimen of this species, but we think 

 it is a doubtful one; the leaves should be ..scattered along the 

 branchlets"; if this means: alternate, then the species could be 

 a 4-merous Geunsia. The indication: „cymes terminal of ± 

 terminal or in the axils of the upper leaves" is not clear. If 

 there are really true terminal inflorescences, it is evident, that 

 this can not be a Callicarpa. So the terms: „ stamens inserted 

 upon the throat of the constriction", and „fruit 4-celled, 4-seeded" 

 indicate the same. Perhaps it is even not a Verbenacea,
