4 mm longis, calycis dentibus oblongis ad oblongo-ellipticis, quam 
tubo paullo longioribus, corollae tubo 10 ad 12 mm longo, lobis 
ellipticis, 2.5 mm longis. 
A glabrous shrub, about 3 m high. Leaves coriaceous, dark 
brown and shining when dry, oblong-elliptic to somewhat oblong- 
obovate, 9 to 13 cm long, 3 to 5.5 cm wide, the base cuneate, 
the apex sharply acuminate; lateral nerves spreading at nearly 
right angles, about 12 on each side of the midrib, slender, dis- 
tinct, the reticulations evident; petioles 5 mm long or less; 
stipules broadly ovate, abruptly contracted into a slender, cau- 
date, 5 to 7 mm long tip. Cymes subcapitate, peduncled, axillary, 
and terminal, 1.5 to 3 cm in diameter, few- to many-flowered, 
their peduncles 2 to 6 cm long, the terminal one usually subtended 
by a pair of ovate to broadly ovate, rounded, or cordate, sessile 
leaves, 3 to 5 cm in length. Flowers white, the subtending 
bracts and bracteoles linear, 2.5 to 4 mm long. Calyx-tube some- 
what ovoid, about 2 mm long, the lobes oblong to oblong-elliptic, 
acute, usually exceeding the tube in length. Corolla-tube slender, 
10 to 12 mm long, the lobes elliptic, 2.5 mm in length. Fruits red 
when fresh, dark brown when dry, ovoid, 5 to 7 mm in diameter, 
crowned by the conspicuous calyx-lobes.

This species somewhat resembles Ixora capitulifera Merr. but 
differs very radically in its calyx characters. It is easily rec- 
ognizable by its subcapitate, dense, panicled cymes; its very 
slender bracts and bracteoles ; its calyx-teeth distinctly exceeding 
the tube in length ; and in its rather short, white flowers.
