14—17 cm. longis, apice obtuse acuminatis, basi acutis vel decur- 
rento-acuminatis, supra olivaceis, nitidissimis, minute puncticulatis,

diametro, alabastro obovoideo, 3 mm. diametro. 
A small, glabrous tree, the branches and branchlets terete, 
pale-eray, the ultimate branchlets 2.5 mm. in diameter. Leaves 
coriaceous, rigid, oblong-elliptic, 14 to 1% qm. long, 6 to 7 cm. 
wide, subequally narrowed to the acute or somewhat decurren‘:- 
acuminate base, and the blunt-acuminate apex, the upper surface

tions slender, indistinct; petioles stout, 5 to 7 mm. long. Inflores- 
cences from the branches below the leaves, axillary, composed ot 
very short, few-flowered, fascicled, depauperate-cymose axes 7 mm. 
Jong or less. Flowers white, in anthesis about 15 mm. in diameter, 
the buds obovoid, 3 mm. in diameter, narrowed below into the i 
to 2 mm. long pseudostalk, sessile, subtended by a pair of minute 
bracteoles. Calyx throat in anthesis about 7 mm. in diameter, the
