branches terete, nodose, 2 1/2–3 1/2 lin. in diam. 1 ft. below the apex, pale brown, buff-coloured or ashy-grey, glabrous; branchlets minutely and densely puberulous in a young state, soon becoming glabrous, rather slender, 1–1 1/2 lin. in diam. 6 in. below the apex; internodes 1/4–2 in. long; leaves opposite, subopposite or alternate, petioled, elliptic-oblong, ovate, lanceolate, obovate or oblanceolate, 3/4–3 1/2 in. long, 1/4–1 1/4 in. broad, obtuse or rounded at the apex, obtuse or cuneate at the base, rather thickly coriaceous, minutely puberulous in a young state, quickly becoming glabrous, dull, penninerved, lateral nerves rather oblique, 4–5 on each side, anastomosing far from the margin, more or less raised on both surfaces in a dried state; petiole 1–3 lin. long; umbels axillary, solitary or fascicled, 3–4-flowered, minutely puberulous; peduncle stout, 3/4–2 lin. long; pedicels 5/8–1 lin. long; bract ovate-cupular, dorsal margin 7/8–1 1/4 lin. long, ventral margin 3/8– 5/8 lin. long; flowers pentamerous, expanding in two stages: in the first the corolla-lobes separate from one another and become reflexed, the filaments remaining closely pressed together round the style, in the second the corolla-tube splits unilaterally to about the middle, and the filaments become deflexed; receptacle and calyx together campanulate, wide-mouthed, 1 1/2–2 lin. long; calyx subtruncate or repand, 5/8– 7/8 lin. long; corolla red, tipped with green (Pearson), 1 1/2–1 3/4 in. long in bud, minutely puberulous outside, basal swelling ellipsoid, 1 3/4–2 3/4 lin. long, apical swelling oblong-ellipsoid, obtusely pentagonal with flat or slightly convex faces, subtruncate or apiculate from a rounded apex, 2–2 1/4 lin. long, 1 1/8–1 1/4 lin. in diam.; tube constricted above the basal swelling, then broadened to the middle and again narrowed to the base of the apical swelling; lobes reflexed below the middle, spathulate, 3 1/2–4 1/2 lin. long, upper part 2 lin. long, 7/8 lin. broad; filaments inserted 1/2– 3/4 lin. below the base of the corolla-lobes, deflexed or inflexed, 2 1/4–2 3/4 lin. long, produced in front of the anther into a tooth 1/4– 3/8 lin. long; anthers narrowly oblong, truncate or very slightly emarginate, 1 1/4–1 1/2 lin. long; disc 1/5– 1/4 lin. high, not lobed; style skittle-shaped above, thickened part 2 3/4–3 1/4 lin. long; stigma depressed-globose or obovoid, 1/3– 3/8 lin. long, 3/8– 1/2 lin. in diam.; berry orange (Pearson), ellipsoid, 5 lin. long. null
