side of the midrib, prominent, anastomosing ; petioles 2 to 4 mm 
long ; stipules lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, slenderly acuminate, 
slightly inaequilateral, 1 to 2 cm long, 3 to 7 mm wide, more or 
less rubiginous-pubescent. Racemes axillary, solitary, the pis- 
tillate ones up to 12 cm long, somewhat pubescent, the flowers 
rather few, scattered, the pedicels in fruit about 1 cm long, 
spreading. Calyx pubescent, 5-parted, the lobes extending about 
one-half to the base. Fruit glabrous, not compressed, subobo- 
void, about 5 mm long, the stigma sublateral.

A species well characterized by its rubiginous indumentum, but more 
especially by its scattered, long-pedicelled, obovoid, smooth fruits which 
are scarcely compressed, but sometimes roughly triangular in cross- 
section, and their sublateral stigmas. It is not closely allied to any 
species known to me.

Arbor, ramulis junioribus inflorescentiis ferrugineo-pubescen- 
tibus exceptis glabra; foliis crasse coriaceis, oblongis, usque ad 
17 cm longis, prominente acuminatis, basi subacutis ad rotun- 
datis, nitidis, in siccitate supra olivaceis, subtus brunneis, nervis 
utrinque circiter 8, distinctis ; stipulis lanceolatis, circiter 4 mm 
longis, caducis; inflorescentiis 2 brevibus, parce ramosis, ramis 
circiter 1 cm longis ; floribus confertis, sessilibus, 4-meris, calycis 
ultra medium divisis ; fructibus breviter pedicellatis, leviter com- 
pressis, circiter 6 mm longis, stylis terminalibus. 
A tree, glabrous except the very young branchlets, stipules, 
and inflorescences, which are ferruginous-pubescent. Branches 
terete, pale-grayish. Leaves oblong, rather thickly coriaceous, 
dark-olivaceous on the upper surface, brown on the lower, and 
prominently shining on both when dry, 8 to 17 cm long, 4 to 
6.5 cm wide, apex prominently and usually acutely acuminate or 
the acumen apiculate, base subacute to rounded; lateral nerves 
about 8 on each side of the midrib, slender, distinct, anastomos- 
ing; petioles about 1 cm long; stipules lanceolate, acuminate, 
pubescent, about 4 mm long, caducous. Pistillate inflorescences 
axillary, solitary, in anthesis about 1 cm long, densely ferrugi- 
nous-pubescent, the branches, from or near the base, usually 2 or 
3, sometimes one or none, cylindric. Flowers sessile, densely ar- 
ranged. Bracteoles pubescent, broadly ovate, rounded, less than 
1 mm long. Calyx-segments 4, oblong-ovate, pubescent, 0.8 mm 
long, extending about two-thirds to the base of the calyx. Ovary 
ovoid, glabrous, about 1.5 mm long; stigma terminal. Fruit 
ovoid, slightly inequilateral, about 6 mm long, somewhat com-
