A handsome upright smooth evergreen shrub; branches 
round, robust, beset with small warts. Leaves oppo- 
site (sometimes in whorls of three), coriaceous, spread- 
ing, elliptically oblong, widely nerved, with an extremely 
narrow cartilaginous reflexed edge obsoletely and widely 
toothed or sometimes nearly entire, tapered towards the 
petiole, shortly and bluntly pointed at the top, young ones 
of a bright lively green, old ones darker and duller, the 
larger ones about 5 inches long by 3 broad: petiole at most 
about 2 of aninchin length. Zhyrse terminal, brachiately 
decompounded, _ stiff, loosishly and numerously flowered, 
about 3 inches long, smooth, spreading, bracteate, branch- 
lets terminating in trichotomously stalked peduncles: partial 
pedicles very short thick with a deep scar at the base from 
the falling off of the bracte: bractes sphacelate, taper-pointed, 
caducous, those of the pedicles minute. Calyx minute, 
campanulate, roundedly 5-lobed, pale. Corolla rather 
fleshy, turbinately rotate, white, caducous, turning yellow 
or buff as it fades; éube 3 times the length of the calyx or 
more, with an open dilated orifice; /imb rather longer than 
the tube, revolutely reflexed in the end, segmeuts rounded 
convex. Filaments adnate to the tube, alternate with the 
segments of the corolla, divaricate, equal to the limb, subu- 
late, white, stiff, permanent: anthers incumbent (or lying 
across the point of the filament), oblong, two-lobed, lobes 
linear sagittately parted at the base: pollen cream-coloured. 
Germen placed upon a green orbicular glandular insunk
