Species I. cymosae affinis, differt foliis crassissime coriaceis, 
apice late rotundatis vel obtusis retusisque, vix acuminatis, flo- 
ribus majoribus, ovario 4- vel 5-locellato. 
A tree about 10 m high, glabrous except the somewhat pubes- 
cent inflorescence. Branches terete, stout, dark-colored. Leaves 
very thickly coriaceous, elliptic to obovate-elliptic, 5 to 10 cm 
long, 2.5 to 6 cm wide, entire, the apex broadly rounded to obtuse, 
usually more or less retuse, never acuminate, the base somewhat 
narrowed, acute or a little decurrent-acuminate, the margins 
strongly revolute, the upper surface olivaceous when dry, some- 
what shining, the lower shining, much paler; lateral nerves 7 
or 8 on each side of the midrib, slender, not prominent, the 
reticulations obsolete or nearly so; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long, 
dark reddish-brown. Inflorescence cymose, sparingly cinereous- 
pubescent, the cymes in the upper axils pseudo-terminal, many- 
flowered, 2 to 5 cm long and wide. Flowers white, 5-merous, 
the pedicels and calyx somewhat puberulent, the calyx-lobes 
orbiculate-ovate, about 1.5 mm long, somewhat serrate-lacerate. 
Petals 5, oblong to oblong-ovate, rounded, about 3 mm long.

Frutex ut videtur epiphyticus, glaber, ramis ramulisque pal- 
lidis; foliis alternis, integris, coriaceis, oblongo-ovatis ad ellip- 
tico-lanceolatis, utrinque acuminatis vel basi acutis, usque ad 5 
cm longis, petiolatis, in siccitate nitidis, brunneis, nervis latera- 
libus utrinque circiter 6, tenuibus, indistinctis ; inflorescentiis $ 
axillaribus, solitariis, racemosis, racemis numerosis, multifloris, 
2 ad 4 cm longis ; floribus 4- vel 5-meris, petalis 2 mm longis. 
Apparently an epiphytic shrub, quite glabrous or the racemes 
very slightly and obscurely pubescent. Branches pale gray, te- 
rete, slightly wrinkled when dry, the branchlets similar, some- 
what angled, 1 to 1.2 mm thick. Leaves alternate, 3 to 5 cm
