Leaves spirally inserted, elongate, lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, sub- 
candate-acnminate, midrib depressed above. Ovules in flower usually 1, 
rarely 2. Male flowers several, fasciculate at the apex of axillary pedun- 
cles. Leaves 6-10 cm long, and 7-9 mm broads rarely to 16 cm long 
and 12-18 mm broad. Female flowers on short axillary branches 3-5 
cm long, squamae rudimentary, arranged decurrently. on the branch; 
these squamae or half scars clustered at the base of the branch, more 
distant above ; the uppermost squamiform leaves 2 or 3 at the apex of 
small distant branches, very short, forming broadly obtuse carpidia; 
ovules ■ elliptic, apex slightly attenuate. Seeds subglobose, gibbous, 
slightly extra-apical, obtuse, 2.5-3 cm long, testa double, the outer coria-

Plate XXIX, fig. 1. 
A small tree 5-6 m tall, much branched, the branches terete, gla- 
brous, gray or yellowish, branchlets very numerous, short, crowded toward 
the end of the branches. Leaves crowded toward the ends of the twigs, 
erect-spreading, often appearing subopposite on account of their con- 
tiguity, coriaceous, glabrous, smooth, shining, paler beneath and the 
younger ones very glaucous, oblong, elliptic-oblong or spatulate,# 9-17 
mm long, 3. 5-5. 5 mm wide, the apex rounded or obtuse, the base grad- 
ually narrowed and somejvhat decurrent, midrib not prominent above,

long. Staminate spikes solitary in the upper leaf-axils, few, cylindrical,
