oblongis vel ellipticis, subcoriaceis, basi acutis, apice subito breviterque 
obtuse acuminatis. 
Cymes terminal, sessile or subsessile, 3—4.5 cm long, the peduncles 
2.5-4 mm thick, strongly 4-angled, trichotomous, the flowers on pedicels 
1-2 mm long, usually having a very short margin with several lobes : 
calyx-tube turbinate, 6-7 mm long, 7-8 mm in diameter at the apex, the 
lobes 4, unequal, 4-9 mm long, 7-10 mm wide, rounded at the apex, 
projecting about 2 mm beyond the ovary ; petals 4, suborbicular, the base 
truncate, 8-10 mm long, 9-12 mm wide, sometimes with 4 additional 
petals, forming an inner row, usually narrower than the outer and 
irregular in shape; staminal disk rather thick; stamens about 200, the 
filaments 1-1.5 cm long, the anthers 1.3— 1.7 mm long, 0.4 mm wide; 
ovary 2-celled, the lumen about one-half the diameter of the ovary, each 
cell containing many ovules; style 1.5 cm long. 
Scrubby, tree-like, about 4.5 m high, the wood hard, the bark rather 
smooth, the ultimate twigs numerous and erect, covered with reddish, 
becoming grayish bark, terete or the youngest somewhat angled ; leaves 
borne on petioles 5-10 mm long, the lamina glanclular-dotted, subcoria- 
ceous, brown when dry, 6-10 cm long, 2.5-4 cm wide, oblong or elliptic, 
the margins strongly revolute, acute or very shortly acuminate at the 
base, at the apex suddenly contracted into a short obtuse acumen; 
primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 10—12, arching, three 
or more of them forming submarginal veins, never with the very definite 
submarginal vein of E. bordenii.

Distinguishable from E. bordenii, not only by the venation, but by larger flowers, 
much more revolute leaf -margins, stouter peduncles, and the color of the leaves.
