A shrub or small tree. Leaves abruptly pinnate : the leaflets vary- 

 ing from one to 3 pairs, oblong-lanceolate, or when only a single pair 

 oblong or oval, rather acuminate at both ends, scarcely petiolulate, 

 coarsely and sparingly serrate, especially above the middle, rarely 

 entire, from 2 to 4 inches long, 9 to 15 lines wide, chartaceous in 

 texture, conspicuously and thickly feather-veined; the upper surface 

 glabrous and shining; the lower minutely cinereous-pubescent, as are 

 the petioles, branchlets, and inflorescence, at first brownish in hue, at 

 least in the dried specimens, at length pale. Flowers very small, in 

 axillary panicles, which are shorter than the leaves. Calyx five-cleft, 

 minutely pubescent. Petals minute, much smaller than the lobes of 

 the calyx, apparently inappendiculate. Stamens 10 ? with very short 

 filaments. Capsule 2-Z-celled, 2-S-lobed, or tricoccous, at first appa- 

 rently fleshy, at length loculicidal, glabrous, not at all stipitate, sub- 

 tended at the base by the minute persistent calyx; the lobes rounded; 

 the valves glabrous inside. Seed globose, invested with a fleshy 

 arillus.
