about 10 inches long and 4 broad : petiole about 2 inches 
long. Branches of the panicle decussating: peduncle 
tetragonal, sulcated. Flowers shortly pedicelled, small, 
white. Calyx urceolate, with the margin irregular. 
Petals white, oblongo-obovate. Ovary umbilicated for 
the reception of the base of the style. 
This plant differs from that of Swartz, in its loftier port, 
and in its leaves being larger. This 1 would attribute 
to my specimens being collected in damp woods, — in 
situations the most favorable to the luxuriant develop- 
ment of the plant.
