ovalibus, vel subrotundis, apice leviter cordatis, margine revolutis, apice 
apiculatis ; stipulis parvis, lanceolatis, apice acumine deciduo instructis. 
Flowers axillary, solitary or rarely in pairs, the male borne on pedicels 
5- 7 mm long, their perianth-segments 6, somewhat exceeding 1 mm in 
length, varying in outline in the same flower from lanceolate to oval, 
obtuse or rounded at the apex; disk-glands 6, free, about 0.2 mm long; 
stamens 3, the filaments free, about 0.3 mm long, the anthers equally 
long, their cells oval, dehiscing horizontally : female flowers often on 
shorter pedicels than the male, but these in fruit attaining 15 mm, 
perianth-segments 6, oblanceolate to obovate, 1 mm long, their apices 
acute or somewhat acuminate; disk-glands 6, free, small; ovary glabrous, 
6- lobed, 3-celled; styles 3, forked almost to the base, the arms about 0.4 
mm long, nearly flat upon the ovary: capsules 3 mm in diameter, 
6-grooved, 3-celled, the seeds about 1.7 mm long, the testa densely verru- 
eose-tuberculate along longitudinal lines. 
A shrub 1 m high, usually much branched, the branches and terete 
branchlets covered with gray bark, the latter more or less pubescent 
especially on the youngest shoots : leaves deciduous when dried, borne on 
petioles 0.5 mm long, the lamina chartaceous, elliptic, oval, ovate, or 
nearly orbicular, 2-7 mm long, 1.7-4. 5 mm wide, the base equilateral or 
inequilateral, slightly cordate, the margins revolute, the apex rounded or 
slightly refuse, apiculate, the upper surface shining; veins on each side 
of the midrib 4-7 ; stipules lanceolate, not hastate, with an acute acumen 
at the apex, but this deciduous, older stipules appearing ovate, those on 
either side of the petiole often contiguous beneath it.

Frutex vel arbuscula: floribus masculinis fasciculatis, mediocriter pedi- 
cellatis, perianthii segmentis 6, ovatis vel lanceolatis, disci glandulis subor- 
bicularibus, staminibus 3, liberis, antheris transverse dehiscentibus ; flori- 
bus femineis longius pedicellatis, solitariis; capsulis parvis, 3-locularibus ; 
seminum testa brunnea, minutissimis papillis lineatim dispositis obtecta: 
ramulis anguste bialatis, intra alas minute sed dense pubescentibus ; 
foliis distichis, lanceolatis vel rarius ellipticis, apice rotundatis; stipulis 
hastatis, apice acuminatissimis, basi productis. 
Monoecious, the female flowers apparently much fewer and opening- 
earlier : male flowers in fascicles usually of 3, borne on slender pedicels 
2-12 mm long; perianth-segments 6, white, ovate or lanceolate, 1-1.2 mm 
long, 0.6-0. 7 mm wide, obtuse and sometimes very shortly mucronate at 
the apex, with a conspicuous mid-vein; disk composed of 6 nearly orbi- 
cular minutely papillose free glands 0.4 mm in diameter and alternate 
with the perianth-segments; filaments 3, free, 0.7-0. 8 mm long; anthers 
less than 0.3 mm long, dehiscing transversely : female flowers solitary, 
borne on pedicels 12-22 long, perianth as in the male; disk annular, its
