A shrub ?, deciduous, erectpatently ramose ; branchlets 

 terete, glaborus, gilvo-umber, those of this year straight, 

 slender, terete-subtetragonous with edge-lines, glabrous, smooth, 

 perulate at the base ; perulae short, imbricated, appressed, 

 the outer ones thicker, deltoid, acute, carinate dorsally, the 

 upper ones longer and membranaceous, broadly ovate to 

 oblong, often rcflexed. Bud ovate, glabrous ; perula erect, 

 the outer ones longer, deltoid, setaceo-acuminate. Leaves 

 opposite, peLiolate, erect-patent, lato-lanceolate, caudato-acumi- 

 nate with a sharp s^ubcaliose tip at the apex, acutish or 

 obtuse-rounded at the base, entire and patently albo-ciliatcd 

 on margin, chartaceo-membranaceous, green and very thinly 

 glandular-hairy (slightly mixed with eglandular pubes) and 

 on the midrib and veins puberulent and glandular-hairy on the 

 upper surface, paler and patently thin-pubescent with white 

 pubes (pubes denser on both lateral sides of the midrib and on 

 the veins) mixed with very thinly dispersed glandular-hairs on 

 the under surface, 41-9 cm. long, li-2| cm. broad; midrib 

 prominent beneath, naked from pubes in back ; veins 6-12 on 

 each side, delicate, erect-patent, somewhat arcuate upwards, 

 prominent beneath ; veinlets finely and copiously anastomotic 

 (reticulation more conspicuous beneath), impressed above ; 

 petiole canaliculate in front, glabrous, but thinly glandular- 

 hairy on edges of the groove, 5-8 mm. long, dilated and semi- 

 amplexicaul at the base. Peduncles opposite, rising from 

 the axils of the leaves in the middle or lower portion on the 

 branchlets of this year, elongate, slender, compressed, ancipital, 

 somewhat enlanged above, glabrous, viridescent, 3-3|cm. long 

 in fruit. Berries scarlet, globose, glabrous, nearly distinct
