latioribus, 1 mm longis; foliis ellipticis, elliptico-lanceolatis vel ovatis, 
2-5 cm longis, 15-22 mm latis. 
Flowers of both sexes somewhat crowded in the leaf-axils : male flowers 
borne on comparatively stont hirsute pedicels 3-4 mm long; perianth- 
segments 6, elliptic-lanceolate, 2 mm long, hirsute on the outer surface, 
obtuse or shortly acuminate at the apex ; anthers 3, 1 mm long : female 
flowers subsessile, perianth-segments 6, strongly imbricate, oblanceolate or 
linear-oblanceolate, 2 mm long, hirsute on both surfaces but only slightly 
on the inner; ovary glabrous except at the apex, 0.5 mm long, 10-sulcate; 
styles 5, free but close together, leaving an opening at the somewhat 
thickened apex, together equaling the ovary in width, 1 mm long, densely 
hirsute. 
A shrub 2 m high, its branchlets somewhat flexuose, densely fer- 
ruginous-pubescent; leaves resembling those of Psiclium guajava, borne on 
short petioles, the lamina coriaceous, elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, rarely 
ovate, 2-5 cm long, 15-22- mm wide, usually inequilateral, at both ex- 
tremes acute or obtuse, both surfaces more or less pubescent; stipules 
lanceolate, subacute, nearly 2 mm long.
