Leaves about 8 inches long and 4 broad, with the apex 

 blunt, glabrous, except the under surface of the nerves ; 

 transverse nerves strongly marked ; teeth of the margin 

 not setose as in the preceding species. Flowers shortly 

 pedicelled. Calycine teeth deltoid, acute. Berry size of

 conia. 



Branches compressed slightly sulcated ferru- 

 gineo-velutine as also the peduncles and petioles,
