axillaribus, breviter pedunculatis, densis, subglobosis, circiter 1 
cm diametro, petalis anguste spatulatis, 2 mm longis, integris; 
capsulis ellipsoideis, compressis, dense pubescens, 1.4 ad 2 cm 
longis, retusis. 
A woody vine, the younger parts, leaves, and inflorescences 
prominently ciliate, the hairs spreading. Branches reddish 
brown, somewhat lenticellate, glabrous, the branchlets conspicu- 
ously ciliate. Leaves membranaceous, greenish when dry, 
oblong-elliptic, 10 to 18 cm long, 3.5 to 7 cm wide, narrowed 
below to the acute base and above to the rather slenderly 
acuminate apex, rather prominently ciliate on both surfaces or 
the upper surface ultimately glabrous; lateral nerves about 6 
on each side of the midrib, prominent, the reticulations lax; 
petioles ciliate, 4 to 7 mm long. Cymes axillary, dense, 
subglobose, about 1 cm in diameter, short-penduncled. Sepals 
elliptic-ovate to elliptic-obovate, pubescent, 2 to 2.5 mm long. 
Petals glabrous, somewhat fleshy, not cleft, narrowly spatulate, 
about 2 mm long. Filaments about 2 mm long. Ovary villous. 
Capsules ellipsoid, compressed, 1.4 to 2 cm long, densely 
pubescent, norpnally retuse at the apex with a median dividing 
line, 2-seeded.

at least 670 meters. 
A species in many respects resembling Dichapetalum ciliatum 
Merr. but distinguishable, among other characters, by its petals 
being entire and not cleft at their apices.
