bark more or less fissured but quite cylindric ; branchlets densely rusty- 
tomentose, cylindric. Leaves obovate-oblong or rarely obovate-lanceo- 
late, narrowed slightly to the narrowly truncate or sometimes rounded 
base, more abruptly to the shortly acuminate or acute apex, with an 
obtuse or occasionally acute tip; 2'5 to 4 in. long, 1-25 to P75 in. 
wide ; coriaceous, shrinking somewhat irregularly when dry ; glabrous 
rather pale green above, beneath at first rusty pubescent with a loose 
tomentum, which soon disappears except from the midrib ; lateral 
nerves 5 to 7 pairs, very oblique and not very prominent on either 
surface, with a distinct sub-marginal looping vein; secondary reticulate 
venation distinct but not prominent on either surface; petiole -2 to 
•25 in. long, rusty-pubescent. Flowers in axillary cymes in the upper- 
most leaf axils, 5-9-flowered, -75 in. wide, the ultimate 3 to 7 passing 
into a terminal panicle without leaves 1*5 to 3 in. long, rarely longer ; 
peduncles 15 to -25 in. long, rusty-pubescent ; pedicels very short and 
lanceolate bracteoles, -2 in. long, rusty-pubescent. Sepals orbicular, 
coriaceous, rusty-pubescent. Corolla greenish, sweet-scented, -4 in. 
across; lobes slightly spreading; interlobular spaces shining golden
