E. foliis obovatis subretusis basi acutis breviter petiolatis coriaceis opacis, 

 vents liaud perspicuis ; cymis terminalibus decompositis corymbosis

Hab. Sandalwood Bay, Vanua-levu, Feejee Islands. 



Probably a small tree (the size not recorded), glabrous throughout, 

 with slender ash-gray branches : the ultimate branchlets somewhat 

 four-angled, very leafy. Leaves obovate, or elliptical-obovate, an inch

 at the base, sliorUpetioled, coriaceous but not very thick, opaque, dull, 

 punctate; the midrib conspicuous; the veins scarcely visible; a very 

 obscure false vein close to the revolute margin. Cymes terminal, 

 decompound, 3 or 4 inches long, trichotomous, diffusely spreading, 

 loosely many-flowered: peduncles or primary branches of the inflores- 

 cence \\ to 2 inches long, slender, as also their successive spreading 

 divisions, acutely four-angled; the ultimate pedicels a line or two in 

 length. Bractlets minute, caducous. Flower-buds a line long : most 

 of the specimens are past anthesis. Calyx turbinate ; the free margin 

 merely repand, dilated after flowering. Corolla hemispherical in the 

 bud, falling off unopened. Stamens rather short. Ovules 8 to 10 in 

 each cell. Fruit not seen.

 decompositis effusis multifloris folia cequantibus; pedunculis primariis 

 et partialibus gracilibus compressis; fbribus pedicellatis ; alabastris
