terminated by a raceme.

This is a species differing from the preceding in its smaller, 
more ovate leaves, on shorter petioles, and in its very elongated 
racemiform inflorescence, with small leaf-like bracts, and in its 
epunctate sepals. From Dissopetalum Mauritianum it differs in 
its more cordate leaves with shorter petioles, in its ^ inflores- 
cence, and in its $ flowers. Its leaves are 2|-3 inches long, 
2|— 2| inches broad, on a petiole lj-1^ inch long, inserted 
1 line within the margin of the basal sinus, which is 4-6 lines 
deep. The S inflorescence is 6-10 inches long, having in each 
of its axils, which are 6-9 lines apart, a small leaf-shaped bract 
3 lines in diameter, and also three or four fasciculated panicles, 
on capillary peduncles 1 inch long, terminated by three primary 
branches 2 or 3 lines long, which are again severally divided; 
the sepals are oblong, acute, pilose externally, of a dusky colour, 
and epunctate ; the petal is cyathiform and glabrous ; the anther 
4-lobed.
