Information

A glabrous shrub of 10–12 ft.; extremities terete. Leaves submembranous, obovate- or oblanceolate-oblong, finely and often rather abruptly acuminate, narrowed to the petiole and more or less cuneate at the base, entire or obsoletely denticulate, 3–4 in. long, 1 to nearly 2 in. broad; petiole 2–3 lines. Peduncles extra-axillary or leaf-opposed, 1/3–1 in., dividing into 3–5 umbellate branches. Flowers 1 1/2–2 lines, in close heads 1/4– 1/3 in. across. Calyx cupuliform, broadly 5-lobed. Hypogynous disk or gland unilateral, fleshy. The only fruits which I have seen are oval-oblong, compressed, incurved, nearly 1/2 in. long, but perhaps imperfect.
