Frutex. Folia evoluta, alterna, alterum rudimentum minutum 
reductum, in ramis leviter fractiflexis, griseis, superne tantum 
sordide pilosis erecta, internodia 1 ad 1.5 cm lonfa. Folia petio- 
lata, lanceolata, acuminata, basin versus angustata, superne gla- 
bra, subtus secus nervos tantum minute fulvo-pilosa, petioli 5 ad 10 
mm longi, laminae remote et brevi-dentatae, 10 ad 12 cm longae, 
3 cm latae, nervi principals utrinque 6. Inflorescentiae axilla- 
res plerumque triflorae, interdum 1-florae, floribus minutissimis 
mihi adhuc visis, pedunculi brevissimi, pedicelli 2 ad 3 mm longi, 
ipsi et calyces sordide villosi, bracteae subnullae, ut videtur mox 
deciduae, mihi non visae. Calyx brevi-campanulatus, lobi semi- 
longi, lineares, totus 3.5 mm longus. Corolla subduplo longior, 
longe pilosa, Integra mihi non visa, decriptionem inaccuratum

Although my diagnosis is far from being a satisfactory one, I believe 
this species is one easily recognizable by its extreme unattractiveness, and 
its very small flowers. The species of the parviflora affinity are beautiful 
and large-flowered in comparison to the species above described.
