A shrubby tree, about 12 feet in height : branches fas- 
tigiate, virgultose, slender, slightly compressed at the end, 
ferrugineo-tomentose. Leaves stiff, shining, bluntish, 
with an apicula, minutely puberulous especially along the 
under surface of the mid-rib, obscurely nerved with the 
nerves anastomosing near the margin, entire, 2 inches in 
length and scarcely more than half an inch in breadth: 
petiole short. Flowers small, white, fragrant. Peduncle 
about half an inch in length, sub-4-agonal, ferrugineo- 
puberulous : pedicels the two lower ones usually opposite, 
filiform, each furnished at the insertion with a minute ovate 
acute bractea. Bracteolcs a pair, ovate, apiculato-acu- 
minate, appressed to the calyx. Calycine lobes 4 : the 
two outer opposite, rather smaller, tounded, acuminato- 
apiculated : the 2 inner rounded; externally ferrugineo- 
puberulous, ciliated. Petals 4, roundish, concave, minutely 
ciliated, glanduloso-punctulated. Stamens numerous. 
Style subulate. 
I have dedicated this plant to the memory of the late 
Matthew Wallen, Esquire, the friend of Swartz, and 
formerly the owner of the properties on which this plant 
was found.
