dracea, ovarium longitudine aequante seel angustiore, apice 8- vel lO-lo- 
bata; caps ul is circiter 1 cm cliametro: foliis lanceolatis vel ellipticis, apice 
grada t i m ac-um i natis . 
Inflorescence nearly always borne on short pubescent peduncles, the 
male flowers on pedicels 4-1 mm long, the female nearly sessile, rarely 
the male flowers racemed on the lower part of the peduncle and the female 
forming glomerulus above: perianth-segments of the male flowers 6, 
lanceolate, 1.5 mm long, hirsute without, obtuse; anthers 3, the connective 
produced : perianth -segments of the female flowers conspicuously longer 
than those of the male, usually 4 mm, hirsute on both surfaces, lanceolate, 
subacute; ovary densely pubescent, 1-2 mm in diameter, 4- or 5-sulcate; 
stylar column about as long as the ovary, hut narrower, short cylinclric, 
the basal half hirsute, the upper glabrous and therefore appearing 
narrower, 8- or 10-lobed : capsules about I cm in diameter, depressed- 
globose and at the apex somewhat umhilicate, slightly pubescent, 4- or 
5-celled, only one ovule usually maturing, the seeds 3.5 mm long. 
A shrub 2 m high, its branch lets terete or slightly angled, densely 
pubescent or the older glabrescent ; leaves borne on petioles 2 mm long, 
the lamina chartaceous, lanceolate or elliptic, 2.5-8 cm long, 1.5-3 cm 
wide, at the acute or obtuse base somewhat inequilateral, the apex 
gradually acuminate, mucronate, the upper surface more or less puberu- 
lent, the lower lepidote, and on the veins hirsute ; stipules 2 mm long, 
lanceolate, acute, pubescent.

Arbor vel arbuscula, floribus axillaribus, peclicellatis, femineis brevis- 
sime : floribus masculinis perianthio 6-partito, segmentis ovalibus, ex- 
terioribus 3 mm longis, interioribus 1.5 mm longis; antheris 3: floribus 
femineis perianthio 6-partito ; ovario depresso-globoso, dense pubesc-ente, 
columna stylari cylindracea, 0.5-0. 8 mm longa, capsulis depresso-globosis, 
minute pubescentibus, 12—14 mm diametro: foliis petiolis 4-5 mm longis 
suffultis, laminis coriaceis, glabris, ellipticis, ovalibus, ovatis, vel sub- 
rotundis, basi decurrentibus, apice obtuse acuminatis. 
Flowers of both sexes in axillary fascicles : male flowers borne on 
pedicels attaining 7 mm in length; the perianth 6-parted, in 2 series, the 
segments oval, those of the outer series 3 mm long, those of the inner 1.5 
mm long, the latter hooded when young ; anthers 3, 1 mm long, the con- 
nective distinctly produced : pedicels of female flowers very short but 
stout, perianth 6-parted but not as deeply as in the male, 2-3 mm long, 
the inner segments somewhat shorter than those of the outer row, broadly 
ovate, at the apex obtusely acuminate; ovary depressed-globose, densely 
pubescent, 1 mm long, 1.5 mm in diameter; the stylar column 0.5-0. 8 
mm long, cylindric, 6-lobed, the lobes emarginate : capsules depressed-
