Suffrutescent : branches subtetragonal. Leaves about 
three inches long, and one and a half broad : petiole 
short. Thyrse subterminal (i. e. at first terminal, but 
losing that character as young branchlets are protruded 
from the axils of the leaves) shorter than the leaves : 
branches about half an inch in length. A pair of lanceo- 
late fimbriated bracteas at each division of the panicle, 
having a glutinous touch, from the long glanduloso- 
capitate crimson hairs which cover the different parts of 
the inflorescence. Calycine lobes G, oblong, obtuse, each 
with an elongated apicula on the back. Petals 6, obovate, 
rounded at the apex. Stamens 12, tinged with crimson. 
Ovary elongated and six-lobed towards the apex which 
is umbilicated for the reception of the base of the style, 
and crowned with a circle of minute capitato-glandulose 
hairs : style robust : stigma pruinose. Berry size of a 
currant, black, hirsute, G-celled : seeds minute, ovoid 
granulated. 
This is evidently very nearly allied to the preceding 
species. Both are remarkable for the circle of glandu- 
loso-capitate hairs crowning the summit of the ovary. 
In this respect they resemble Clidemia.
