Information

Shrub c. 3 m. high. Young branches narrowly 4-winged, yellowish, the old ones inconspicuously 4-gonous or terete, covered with greyish and irregularly fissured bark; nodes thickened; internodes 0·5–1·5 cm. long. Leaf-lamina 4–7 x 2–4 cm., elliptic or obovate, obtuse or rounded at the apex, cuneate at the base, coriaceous, discolorous, green on the upper face, yellowish-green beneath, dull on both faces, longitudinally 1-nerved (sometimes with a pair of thin nerves close to the leaf margin), the midrib impressed on the upper face, prominent below, the transverse nerves inconspicuous on both faces. Cymes up to 1·5 cm. long, 1–3-flowered, axillary or at the nodes of leafless branches; inflorescence-axis up to 4 mm. long, the peduncle and the pedicel each c. 2 mm. long. Flower-buds obtusely apiculate, c. 5 x 4 mm. Receptacle campanulate, c. 3 mm. high and 4 mm. in diam. at the apex. Receptacle-lobes broadly triangular, 1 x 2·5 mm.
