Descriptio: Rami teretes abortu gemmae terminalis 
bifurcati glabri, novelli tomentosi vel glabrescentes, inter¬ 
nodiis sub foliis subapplanatis. Quaque innovatio ex tribus 
vel quatuor internodiis constat; horum duo infima brevis¬ 
sima cataphylligera et tertium vel tertium et quartum longa 
et euphylligera sunt. Folia 3 —5-ennia opposita petiolata 
petiolo tereti, supra sulcato, sulci marginibus lamina decur¬ 
rente plus minusve alatis, glabrato, novello tomentoso, (limite 
petioli et laminae fluente c. 3—5 mm. lg.), oblonga vel 
subobovato-oblonga, apice obtusiuscula vel obtusa vel rarius 
rotundata, basi acuta in petiolum decurrentia, anguste mar¬ 
ginata, margine revoluta coriacea (c. 3—4,8 ctm. lg. et 
0,9—2,2 ctm. It.), supra glabrescentia vel glabrata (novella 
cano-tomentosa) impresso-punctata, nervo medio impresso, 
venis utroque latere c. 15 venulisque interjectis reticulatis 
et venulis marginalibus duabus, quarum interiore c. x mm. 
a margine remota, leviter impressis, subtus pallidiora, ochracea 
glabrescentia vel glabrata (novella ferrugina vel cano-tomen¬ 
tosa), nervo medio prominente, venis venulisque elevatis. 
Paniculae plus minusve adpresse tomentoso-pubescentes ex 
axillis cataphyllorum infimorum innovationum novellarum 
') Nomen a m/.coros (— tomentosus) derivatum est.
