Young portions, petioles, etc., minutely puberulent. Stems 

 slender, leafy, ribbed. Petioles opposite, divaricate, slender, 

 about 2 em. long, the petiolules about half as long. Pseudo- 

 stipules shortly stipitate, nearly orbicular, slightly mucronate,

 petiole, mostly 2- or 3-fiowered, subtended by 2 or more setaceous
