acutis, margine incurvato-spinuloso-serratis ; nervis utrinque 
circiter 12, distinctis; inflorescentiis axillaribus, cymosis, tenui- 
ter pedunculatis, paucifloris, partibus junioribus leviter pubes- 
centibus; bracteis folliaceis, lanceolatis, acuminatis, ad 12 mm 
longis; sepalis inaequalibus, extus leviter pubescentibus, rotun- 
datis, exterioribus ellipticis, circiter 5 mm longis, interioribus 
late ovatis, circiter 5.5 mm longis et 5 mm latis; ovario pubes- 
cente; stylis 3, liberis. 
A shrub or small tree, nearly glabrous, or the younger parts 
of the inflorescences sparingly brown-pubescent. Branches and 
branchlets castaneous when dry, smooth, terete, the latter with 
few, widely scattered, closely appressed, lanceolate scales. 
Leaves 6 to 14 cm long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, membranaceous to 
chartaceous, in general oblong, subequally narrowed to the acute 
base and to the slenderly and sharply subcaudate-acuminate apex, 
entirely glabrous except for the very few, widely scattered, 
appressed, lanceolate scales on the midrib on both surfaces, the 
upper surface castaneous when dry, the lower cinereous, the 
margins spinulose-serrate, the tips of the small teeth incurved; 
lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, distinct, 
brown in contrast to the pale lower surface, anastomosing, the 
reticulations not prominent; petioles 1.5 to 3 cm long. Inflores- 
cences axillary, solitary, long-peduncled, cymose, few-flowered, 
the peduncles slender, up to 6 cm in length, glabrous, the young 
pedicels sparingly pubescent; bracts lanceolate, acuminate, folia- 
ceous, sparingly toothed, equally narrowed at both ends, up to 
12 mm long and 3 mm wide ; pedicels 10 to 12 mm long. Sepals 
unequal, externally sparingly pubescent, all rounded, the outer 
two elliptic, 5 mm long and 3 mm wide, the inner three broadly 
ovate, 5 to 6 mm long, 5 mm wide. Corolla-tube about 2 mm 
long, the lobes 6 mm long, retuse. Stamens 20. Ovary ovoid, 
pubescent; styles 3, free, 4 mm long.

This species is apparently allied to Saurauia nigrescens Korth., but it 
has smaller leaves, which are slenderly and sharply subcaudate-acuminate; 
and lanceolate, acuminate, entirely glabrous bracts; while the ovary is dis- 
tinctly pubescent.
