teeth, the upper surface blackish when dry, glabrous, the lower 

 pale, glabrous, or the midrib with very few appressed scales; 

 lateral nerves 15 to 18 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 

 curved, anastomosing, the reticulations subparallel, distinct; 

 petioles 3 to 4 cm. long, glabrous or nearly so. Panicles 

 solitary, terminal or in the uppermost axils, peduncled, up to 

 20 cm. long, many-flowered, the peduncles -i to 6 cm. long, 

 with few, appressed scales, the lower branches up to 7 cm. in 

 length, these with the branchlets and the rachis rather dense- 

 ly appressed setose-scaly, the setae or scales brownish, short. 

 Flowers numerous, small, their pedicels 2 to 3 mm. long, the 

 bracts linear-lanceolate, 2 mm. long or less, appressed-setose. 

 Sepals thin, elliptic-ovate, acute to obtuse, externally sparing- 

 ly appressed-setose, 2.5 to 3 mm. long. Corolla-lobes elliptic,

In general appearance this species resembles Saurauia 

 planchonii, Hook, f., and is manifestly allied to it. It can 

 be readily distinguished by its leaves being entirely glabrous 

 beneath or at most with but few, closely appressed scales on 

 the midrib.
