rather prominent on the lower surface, anastomosing, curved, 
the reticulations not prominent, the nerves and midrib ciliate- 
pilose on the lower surface ; petioles densely ciliate-pilose, 2 to 4 
mm long ; stipules lanceolate, acuminate, pubescent, about 6 
mm long. Fruits axillary, solitary, pubescent, ovoid or cup- 
shaped, about 4 mm in diameter, their pedicels pubescent, 1 to 
2 mm long, the bracteoles oblong-lanceolate, pubescent, as long 
as the pedicels, the calyx-teeth 4, broadly triangular, somewhat 
acuminate, pubescent, about' 1 mm long.

altitude about 1,000 meters. 
A very characteristic species not closely allied to any other form known 
to me. It is readily recogmized by its indumentum; its small leaves; and 
its solitary, short-pedicelled, pubescent fruits.

Frutex.vel arbor parva, partibus junioribus parcissime ci- 
liato-pilosus glabrescentibus ; foliis chartaceis, anguste oblongis, 
usque ad 15 cm longis, prominente acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis 
utrinque circiter 9, stipulis oblongo-ovatis, circiter 6 mm longis; 
inflorescentiis axillaribus, solitariis, pedunculatis, depauperato

cellatis, parcissime adpresse ciliatis. 
A shrub or small tree, the stipules, petioles, and leaves with 
few, widely scattered, long, white, ciliate hairs, in age glabrous 
or nearly so. Branches pale-brownish, terete, glabrous, the 
branchlets obscurely rounded-angled or somewhat compressed, 
the internodes 2 to 3 cm long. Leaves pale-olivaceous when dry, 
slightly shining, narrowly oblong, chartaceous, 9 to 15 cm long, 3 
to 4 cm wide, narrowed below to the acute base, and above to the 
rather prominently- acuminate apex, the acumen slender, blunt; 
lateral nerves about 9 on each side of the midrib, slender, curved, 
anastomosing; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long; stipules oblong-ovate, 
subacute, about 6 mm long; infructescences axillary, solitary, 
depauperate umbellate, each bearing from 1 to 3 fruits, the 
peduncles 1 to 1.5 cm long, the pedicels as long as the peduncles. 
Fruits yellow when fresh, fleshy, when dry dark brown, ovoid, 
about 6 mm in diameter, sparingly appressed-ciliate with 
scattered, long, white hairs, the calyx-teeth more pubescent than 
the tube, acute, short.
