F L. February — April. 
Leaves thin, membranaceous, about 6 inches long and 
2k broad: petiole less than an inch in breadth. Thyrse 
shorter than the leaves. Flowers crowded, sessile, rather 
small. Branches of the peduncle tetragonal, tomentulose. 
Calyx externally tomentulose, 5- fid, with the lobes after- 
wards connivent. Petals rounded at the apex, somewhat 
clawed. Anthers 2- pored, subauriculated at the base. 
Style long : stigma excavated. 
Were it not for the anthers being bi-porose, I would 
refer this to the second section of Miconia.

manium. 
Very glabrous, branchlets subtetragonal co- 
loured, leaves elliptico-lanceolate acuminate with
