ovate to oblong-ovate, rather dull when dry, pale-olivaceous, 
nearly uniform in color on both surfaces, acuminate, base 
rounded, the upper surface glabrous, the lower with few, 
scattered, deciduous hairs; lateral nerves about 8 on each side 
of the midrib, prominent, the reticulations lax; petioles about 
1 cm long; stipules early deciduous (not seen). Cymes axillary, 
solitary, up to 5 cm long, dichotomously branched, many-flowered, 
distinctly pubescent. Flowers white, their pedicels pubescent, 
2 to 3.5 mm long. Calyx between cup-shaped and urceolate, 2 
mm long and wide, the tube pubescent, the limb thin, produced, 
obscurely 5-toothed. Corolla-tube 2.5 mm long, the lobes 5, 
oblong-ovate, somewhat acuminate, 4 mm long, obscurely glan- 
dular-punctate with elongated dashes, the throat villous. 
Anthers sessile, 2.5 mm long. Style about 3 mm long; stigma 
ellipsoid, 1.8 mm long.

A species similar to and manifestly closely allied to Plectronia mons- 
trosa Rich., from which it differs in its pubescent cymes and slightly pubes- 
cent leaves, and in its more numerous lateral nerves.

Arbor parva subtus foliis petiolis ramulis junioribus inflo- 
rescentiis valde ciliato-hirsutis ; foliis chartaceis, usque ad 12 
cm longis, obovatis, obtusis ad rotundatis, basi angustatis, acutis 
vel obtusis, nervis utrinque circiter 10, prominentibus ; inflores- 
centiis axillaribus, tenuibus, solitariis, circiter 4 cm longis, 
longe pedunculatis, furcatis, floribus spicatim dispositis, inflo-

A tree about 7 m high, prominently ciliate-hirsute with long, 
spreading, pale or brownish hairs. Branches terete, glabrous, 
brown, the branchlets, petioles, inflorescence, and lower surfaces 
of the leaves, especially on the midrib and lateral nerves, promi- 
nently ciliate-hirsute. Leaves obovate, chartaceous, 6 to 12 cm 
long, 5 to 9 cm wide, shining, the lower surface paler than the 
upper, apex obtuse to rounded, narrowed below to the acute or 
obtuse base; lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, 
prominent; petioles very densely ciliate-hirsute, 8 to 15 mm 
long. Inflorescence axillary, slender, about 4 cm long, the slender 
peduncles in anthesis about 2 cm long, densely hirsute, bearing 
at the apex two divaricate branches 2 cm long or less, these 
branches bearing a series of short pedicelled flowers along the 
upper side, pedicels and calyx very densely ciliate-hirsute with
