nerves, apex distinctly acuminate, acumen usually blunt or 
slightly apiculate, base somewhat inequilateral, subacute to 
rounded; lateral nerves about 9 on each side of the midrib, 
prominent, curved and obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations 
fine ; petioles puberulent, about 8 mm long. Flowers in axillary 
fascicles, the subtending bracteoles broadly ovate, acuminate, 
1 mm long, slightly pubescent. Pedicels 1 to 1.5 mm long, 
cinereous-puberulent. Sepals 5, oblong, obtuse, about 2.5 mm 
long, externally sparingly cinereous-pubescent with short hairs. 
Stamens 10, the filaments alternately long and short, up to 1.5 
mm in length, the alternating staminodes oblong-linear, densely 
villous at the apex, otherwise sparingly pubescent, about 1 mm 
long. Ovary narrowly ovoid, glabrous, the style slightly ciliate, 
the ovary and style about 2 mm long; stigma capitate.

A species characterized by its oblong, entire, slightly inequilateral, acu- 
minate leaves, which are puberulent on the midrib and lateral nerves 
beneath; its dark-colored, cinereous-puberulent branchlets; and 5-merous, 
puberulent flowers. Its innovations, including the very young leaves, are 
rather densely subferruginous pubescent.

ad 10 cm longis, in siccitate brunneis, acuminatis, pellucido- 
punctatis, basi leviter inaequilateralibus, late rotundatis vel sub- 
truncatis, margine minute glanduloso-denticulatis, nervis utrin-

oblongis, truncatis, villosis ; ovario dense villoso. 
A tree, the younger parts, lower surface of the leaves on the 
midrib and lateral nerves rather prominently pubescent with 
short, spreading, yellowish-cinereous or cinereous hairs, the in- 
dumentum on the innovations somewhat ferruginous. Branches 
and branchlets slender, dark-colored when dry, the latter some- 
what angular. Leaves pellucid-punctate, brownish when dry, 
firmly chartaceous, in general oblong to ovate-oblong, 6 to 10 cm 
long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, dull or slightly shining when dry, base 
broad, abruptly rounded to subtruncate, slightly inequilateral, 
apex rather abruptly acuminate, the acumen 1 cm long or less, 
usually acute, margins with numerous, very minute, glandlike 
teeth, not at all crenulate, the upper surface glabrous ! or some- 
what pubescent along the midrib; lateral nerves 7 to 9 on each 
side of the midrib, prominent, somewhat ascending, these with
