pressed-puberulent, internally prominently pilose. Filaments 
pilose. Style glabrous. Fruits black when dry, subellipsoid, 
glabrous, usually apiculate, 7 to 9 mm long. 
Amboina, Hitoe messen, Rel. Robins. 1814, 1815, 1816 (type), October 
and November, 1913, in forests at an altitude of about 200 meters; Gelala, 
Rel. Robins. 1812, September 19, 1913, altitude about 100 meters; Wae, 
Rel. Robins. 1813, in light forest at an altitude of about 20 meters, locally 
known as kayumuka. 
The species is well characterized by its unusually short flowers and 
is possibly most closely allied to Polyosma stenosiphon Schltr. of New 
Guinea. It differs from that species, however, in very many characters, 
and. while apparently common in Amboina, it does not seem previously 
to have been described.
